Is Being Busy Good For People With ADHD?
This is a gift article. There was discussion recently about diagnosing ADHD. I think that most people love someone (or have it themselves) with ADHD.
I just want to say that I read this article this morning and I breathed a sigh of relief. Because this is me. I've been struggling a lot more with my ADHD in the past couple of years and it is clearly because I am less busy. So I am searching everywhere to keep my brain moving and stimulated. I know I function better when I have a constant onslaught of new and fresh information/tasks coming at me. I have often said that my bipolar/ADHD brain needs to play mental tennis all the time.
But I absolutely do better when the tasks are of my choosing and I don't have hard and fast deadlines. So I can work at them chaotically on my own timeline.
I know my bipolar depression has got me when my mind and body is slow.
