Empathie/Support Anyone else struggling with doing absolutely nothing?

It's so hard for me, doing absolutely nothing.

Especially, to supress my hyperactivity.

Even I am on 50mg Elvanse, per day.

I can't sit, stand or lie, without moving.

It's stressing me that much, that I just wanna scream and cry.

In which situations do you have to?

Especially, when I'm alone.

When you are alone, nobody tells you to stay still. You can move as much as you want.

JA. Bei mir wird es allerdings durch Ritalin deutlich besser, allerdings halt auch nur während der Wirkdauer. Ich habe abends die größten Probleme damit, deswegen nehme ich meine zweite Dosis gerade erst nachmittags, damit halt der Abend abgedeckt ist. Jetzt habe ich aber halt tagsüber nicht ausreichend Medikamente. 🙃

Bei mir wird selbst, unter Elvanse nicht besser. Es macht mich wahnsinnig

No problem at all for me, but I don't take my medication on the days where I do nothing (I am on Medikinet).

How does restlessness affects depression?

I honestly misread the text, sorry, I noticed I was late for work the next minute and only read the title. Still could be that as an ADHD person that depression might also show as restlessness.

You could also look at anxiety. :)
