Struggling With Restlessness

Hi, I am struggling with restlessness right now. I keep getting the urge to pace and move around and daydream. It is affecting my life and I want it to stop.

Welcome to the forum Spongebobisthebest !

I can definitely relate. I get that way sometimes, too.

I haven't really been restless this week, but I've had lots of issues with mind wandering. It has been difficult for me to focus on work and on things that I need to do at home.

Sometimes when I'm feeling restless and finding it hard to focus, I try to just get myself to do one thing for a few minutes. Even working on something for as little as 1-3 minutes can help me feel like I've accomplished something, in spite of what my ADHD is doing to me.

Not what you're looking for?
