@Larynxa wow!! That is PERFECT!!! I’ve never seen or heard anything that so completely summarizes what its like to be in my head, ALL of the time!! It’s amazing how often I have to ask people to repeat themselves due to the brain noise.
I am ADHD (with the hyperactivity) and I’ve become slightly confused. So for the sake of technicality, as I’m new still new to the ADHD world, whats the difference between hyperactivity, impulsiveness and perseverance? I feel that I have impulses to move, speak and fidget. Once started I feel that I’m doing it no longer as in impulse, but as a hyperactivity like a motor run object (some times completely unaware that I’m doing it) and at some point along this continuum I feel like it becomes perseverance as I don’t always quit when I should.
So for the sake of my understanding and so that I can educate those who have to live with me, what are the differences between hyperactivity, impulsiveness and perseverance?
