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
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
The Body Scan
Notice where the 'buzzy' feeling is strongest in your body.
The Movement Snack
