When You Feel Like You Can't Stay Still With ADHD

It feels like having a motor inside you that never shuts off. You want to relax, but your body feels like it needs to jump out of its skin. This is not a lack of self control. Your brain is simply trying to help you stay awake and alert.

What is it?

This restlessness is often called hyperactivity. It is a physical drive to move that helps your brain regulate its energy levels.

Signs & Symptoms

A constant 'buzzy' or electric feeling in your limbs.
Tapping your feet or clicking pens without even noticing it.
Feeling extreme inner tension when forced to sit through long meetings.

Why does this happen?

The 'Science Bit' is about dopamine. Your prefrontal cortex needs this chemical to focus. When you sit still, your dopamine levels can drop too low. Your brain tells your body to move to create a 'spark.' This movement actually helps your brain stay 'on' so you can think.

The Action Plan

Try breaking down your next task like this to overcome the block:
1

The Body Scan

1m

Notice where the 'buzzy' feeling is strongest in your body.

2

The Movement Snack

2m

Do ten fast jumping jacks or stretch your calves deeply.

3

The Sensory Reset

5m

Hold a cold drink or use a weighted lap pad to ground yourself.
