relaxing | ADHD Information

hi does anyone agree that relaxing is boring or is it just me?

i dont relax at all  i get up in morning and put my trainers on and dont take them back of untill i get back in bed, even in the evening if i do get the chance to watch some tv i dont even sit on the settee i sit  on a low stool at the coffee table, i dont do baths im a shower girl if i do get bath (shower broke a while back) im in washed and out, i cant do all that laying down with bubbles thing. i cant even walk around a store that is playing soft quite background music make me want to screem. i have a neighbour who does meditating. lights candles and lies there listening to windchime music. when she speeks to me she talks really quite and slow it drives me mad, i want to hear whats she as to say but she never gets a word in.   i surpose i do relax when i sit at my kitchen table doing my coloring in books listening to eminem

 

I'm not a hyper type.. but I don't relax well either. If I am laying down watching a movie or something I'm always fidgeting, and getting up and going into another room or things like that. When I try to relax my mind is still racing at full speed with things I need to do, should have done, why didn't I do this, why aren't all stores open 24 hours, when I'm thinking about something and feel the need to do it at 3am and not wait until morning? Then come morning I forgot what it was that I needed to do so  badly last night! Ponder about projects and ideas for them. Pretty much get a whole idea in my head for a project.. have to get up out of bed and write it all down so I can remember it tomorrow.. get up, and then think.. I can do this now while it's in my mind and fresh... 3-4 hours have gone by because now I'm hyper-focusing.. oh dang! It's 5am and I need to get up at 7!

Anyone follow all of that? LOL!

That's pretty much me.       

The typical definition of relaxing is not for all adhd'ers, it just depends.  I cannot sit still and call it relaxing.

My idea of relaxing is taking a hike in the woods or a bike ride or snowbaording. 

I hate relaxing if it means sitting still.
 I relax when I am hiking,biking,swimming outdoors, have some wine in me or am getting massaged.
I feel more relaxed alone with a good book.(except at night in this big house)
 I also feel more relaxed after laughing alot.
 Orgasm can help too.(if I first can relax enough to get into sexual activity)

get some zypreza

its a drug that knocks you out

talk to your psychiatrist and tell them you cant sleep or relax

my sleep has never been so sound

and b4 i was 1 for sleeplessness to the max

I myself have no problem sleeping.
I fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.
When I'm alone though I am a little scared & always get weird terrible thoughts.My mind disturbs me.
When I am alone I often felt like someone is with me.
And I am afraid of myself or something.
It has gotten much better over the years though.


I'm very David Lynch-y in my dreams & thoughts.
worldisround39040.7015856481i scare myself all the time i worry that something might happen to 1 of my kids and i play it out in my head some mad accident and before i know it im screaming out loud and sobing my heart out. i often scare my self and scream out loud, i did it ia while back in the shop i was queing up waiting to be served and seen these spiderman stickers i looked away and stood there staring at one spot  not even blinking and imagined a spider (which i cant stand) and then i thought i seen one i screamed and stumbled backwards standing on someones toe i dont know who was more scared me them i was so ashammed and left the shop which ive not been back in since. lolMe too.
 I am so paranoid about losing them that I feel on the brink of madness.
I am also scared of becoming terminally ill. This means again ,seperation from them.

im the same shawnb

when i in bed i like to say prayers before i go to sleep, but my head never lets me, i start my prayers and then 10 mins later i realize i lost track and start again only to get  half way through the prayer this goes on for about an hour or so till i fall asleep, it drives me mad

do you think all people with adhd think like this?

im not dx yet i think i will tell pysc about this when i get my appointment.
