I need some help here.... | ADHD Information

Share
I am pretty confused currently. I was recently (2 months ago) diagnosed with ADHD. Throughout my life I was dealing with it, my parents were strict so I ended up learning patients and how to remain physically calm, even though my mind was going 5 thousand miles per hour all of the time. I'm starting to get to a point now where I should stop trying to keep myself calmer and such... I'm not sure if I should do what I ahve always done, or I should just let it all go and do whatever I end up doing, which often involed continual movement or my hands and/or feet. I can tell it makes a lot of people frequently feel uncomfortable when I am like this, creating only more social akwardness for myself. I can sense this in people and in return it makes myself feel the same way, hoever I have learned to deal with it.

I was actually depresse in 7th grade because of this. I had 3 friends in the entire school and none of them were what you would consider a healthy friend. I feel very comfortable with myself either regaurdless of what I am physically doing, but to maintain that physical non fidging all of the time personality I have to actively think about it. Anyone have any insight on this? It would be much appreciated, thank you.
