I zone out, and speak when others are talking, and fidget but I have been doing better, since diagnosis and medicine

Meds, exercise, mindfulness, and a decent diet all help me but it’s still so hard

I tend to speak out of turn, talk to loudly and need to constantly get out of my chair (esp if I'm bored). I've started keeping fidget toys and a creative project at my desk during work hours so I stay out and have something else to focus on if I feel the need to speak out of turn. Has been working fairly well so far

I mask alot using alot of energy , with intrupting everyone or going into my own head. But been better cause of meds. Like my hyperactivity would really destroy my sleep schedule , like I did one of those 3d puzzles in 3 hours for my Boss just for a gift or a project and have to finish it and have it be prefect if not I'd have a break down with crying. But now I can stop at a good time and know if it's not prefect that's okay. But even with meds and mental excersis when I'm in my hyperfocus I get quiet and distant witch can hurt people's feelings and annoy others.

Let's not be venemous and spiteful just because we've encountered some trauma, eh? This is supposed to be a positive place. 🙏

You are correct. What do you all think are your ADHD strengths?

I am constantly moving my tongue against my bottom teeth and move my toes. And a lot of time time I bounce my leg and fidget with my hands. I don’t think that I interrupt people talking that much but I think I kinda learned not to because I do have the urge to do it kinda often. And sometimes when I’m really comfortable with my friends or family, I get really hyper and crazy but I’m not always like that. Also, sometimes I get a burst of energy and I clean my whole room or I do a whole project or paint a whole canvas.
