symptoms of hyperactivity/impulsiveness* in ADHD ppl
(part 1 of the answer to an ask i received:
what does hyperactivity look/feel like? (this post)
how does it feel to be on effective adhd medication?
the answer to the second question will come soon (I hope).)
disclaimer: Iām NOT an expert - Iām just a layman diagnosed with ADHD whoās read a lot & experienced a lot!Ā also: my experiences are NOT universal! other people may experience/feel hyperactivity differently from me.**
ANYWAY
the symptoms of hyperactivity (& impulsiveness) doctors look for to diagnose ADHD (list based on DSM-V criteria, pulled from here & here) & what, ime, they actually mean/look like:
hyperactivity:
fidgeting/constantly changing position, unable to stay still/seated. for example:
the Legg Bounce(tm)
chewing pens
fussing with necklace
body-focused repetitive behaviors like pulling hair or picking nose
getting up to pace often
unable to play āquietlyā
I read this as: unable to regulate volume/contain their feelings when happy, so ends up shouting or being loud without noticing
seriously, I have no idea how loud Iām being. I donāt hear it
constantly āon the goā
once done with one thing, itās time to do the next thing
no waiting, no time to relax, no chill
weāre done eating, right? so we can leave the table and do something else? right now???
talks āexcessivelyā (this is the form of hyperactivity that tends to get afab ppl &/or women diagnosed as hyperactive).
stories tend to start way earlier than needed & end someplace other than the point
donāt give other ppl a chance to talk ... unless interrupted, which usually doesnāt bother me as long as the addition is interesting
impulsiveness:*
interrupts others in conversation/finishes sentences for them
I read this as: āIāve anticipated the end of your sentence & want to answer you before my brain bolts in another directionā
āyouāre taking too long to get to the point, hURRY UPā
has a hard time waiting their turn/waiting in line
and by āhard timeā I mean ābeing asked to āwait a secondā while someone else completes a thing is nigh unbearableā
seriously there is a 50/50 chance I will need something to do within 10 seconds of being asked to wait
if thereās something engaging to do in the meantime, it will take my mind off the wait. hence: I bring coloring books everywhere
interrupts/intrudes on others. examples:
interrupting conversations, even private ones, to ask questions
āborrowingā stuff without asking b/c itās there & the hyperactive person finds it more convenient to use than looking for their own stuff
doing things without being asked to b/c it was interesting at the moment
*In regards to āimpulsivenessā: imho: itās not so much that hyperactive adhd people are āimpulsiveā as āhyperactive adhd ppl have brains that areĀ also hyperactive, which makes them do things that look impulsive to outsidersā.
hyperactive ppl physically fidget and constantly move & jump from activity to activity because their brainās neurons are doing the same thing, but with thoughts: fussing/chewing on things at random, constantly roaming from place to place, and always thinking about SOMETHING - unable to rest or be still.
for example:
interrupting ppl Iām conversing with: if I donāt talk right now, Iām going to lose whatever it was I was going to say - the thought going in and out of my head before itās my turn to speak.
waiting is hard: if Iām doing nothing, thatās time for my brain to remind me of the 27 things that are SUPER IMPORTANT that I COULD BE DOING RIGHT NOW. so I get anxious & impatient b/c Iām wasting valuable time just WAITING MY TURN.
intrudes on others: if I think of a thing & get up to tell the relevant person & theyāre busy, I know Iāll forget before theyāre free - so I interrupt.
takes things without asking: if I see a thing that belongs to my roomie that reminds me of something I want/need, I just use my roomieās thing b/c Iāll forget if I look for my own version of the thing.
takes over tasks inappropriately: If I do a thing without being asked & it turns out I wasnāt supposed to, I probably forgot I wasnāt supposed to or justified it to myself at lightning speed.
tl;dr my brain moves too fast for life. to compensate, sometimes I do things too fast for other people. then they say Iām impulsive for doing it.
**also: the psychiatrist evaluation I underwent found that I was ADHD-PI (primarily inattentive): that is, my āHā is also (supposedly) relatively low. but now that I better understand what PI people experience - things like ābrain fogā - I think Iām more likely ADHD-C (combined).
ADHD Soup
noun 1. all of an ADHDers current hyperfixations assembled in one place. Examples include, but are not limited to: drawer, journal, photo album, shed, shelf, shoebox, webpage, etc. 2. the vortex of words an ADHDer unleashes toward the closest familiar ear when hyperfixations simultaneously engage in fisticuffs for brain-space dominance. May also manifest as Tornado Tasking. Closest Ear: "It's all ADHD Soup to me..."

ADHD struggles -Ā āhyperactivityā
Itās hard to explain hyperactivity. It affects me in a lot of different ways. One way is that sometimes I feel like I need to run or Iāll explode.Ā
It doesnāt matter what Iām doing- I could be doing homework, sitting in class, watching tv, etc⦠and then Iāll feel like I HAVE to run, like I NEED to run. If iām not able to run when the feeling starts, like if Iām in class, then it feels like all this pressure starts building and I get really uncomfortable.
When I finally am able to run, itās the most amazing and freeing feeling in the world. I throw my whole body into it, and run as fast as I physically can. I donāt have to run very far, sometimes just running down the block is all it takes to make me feel better.Ā
