Being non-medicated and feeling wired | ADHD Information
I wonder if anyone else gets this way. The past week or two have been crazy with my business. Mostly people procrastinating until the LAST possible minute to order Holiday cards. But anyway, This Monday through Thursday I did so much work, in an insane deadline crisis and somehow pulled it all out of you know where. I've been feeling like I've been hyped up on Speed and going 100mph and I can not calm down, not even at night! I'm so restless cause each day I had even more to do that I HAD to do for clients. I did in four days what would normally take me 2 weeks to complete at a 'non rushed average rate'I'm VERY proud of myself to be able to accomplish this, and to offer such wonderful customer service... however I haven't been able to rest, or sleep at night I think on average I've slept 2 hours a night and wake up around 3am WIDE awake and can't shut my mind off.
Today I need to do laundry (in progress) cleaned up the living room, kitchen and dining room within 30 minutes time and it was a total mess from my 3 and 5 year old girls. I want to lay down and rest but my body won't le t me. Has anyone else gone through this before you were dx'd and on meds.. or when you're not on them? Is this a normal ADD Symptom?

i get like this often im constantly being asked if im on drugs, i talk really fast which dosent help, but i could never get 2 weeks work done in 4 days. well done .
you need to get your sleep sorted out average adult needs min 5 hours and max 8 hours sleep to function properly next day, we know us that are adhd have problems sleeping/getting to sleep but 2 hours is not enough
im no doctor and dont no what will help you, i wont even mention relaxing as i hate this word as its something i know we adhd cant do.
but shawnb you must be tired out
ive got an idea why dont you see if someone could have your kids over night or if not see if someone (adult) could come and stay over with you. then you could have some you time. play on your kids ps2 or colour in or listen to favroite music and have a drink or 2 or 3 or 4 maybe 5 
getting drunk always gets me to sleep, but have a bucket ready
reading this must of made you sleepy
Yep! I go from 100mph flying off the walls to where I don't want to do anything. Its like Jeykle and Hyde(sp on those) Right now it's the Hyperactivity Me and I've just about done everything at the house I can do, have been to town and back, while in town I found an old lady that had locked her keys in her car so I helped her find a guy to come unlock them. She was soo happy and thankful. I think I renewed her hope in the Younger Generation.
I'm scared as tonight I don't know of anything that needs done... may have to pull out the old Betty Crocker and make something....
I dread/put off going to sleep most of the time as I can't sleep and end up laying there thinking too much and drive myself crazy!
But when I've run myself down, I can hardly get myself to put on my make-up! It's crazy. I haaate it.
It kinda feels like i can't ration out my energy properly. As if i spend all the energy i have at once, and then i'm just exhausted. Yeah, i get this constantly. I'm trying to get scheduled for an adhd diagnosis. I'm wired out of my skull 75% of the time, and drained dead 25% of the time. My body may be physically tired, but my mind is always racing.It's a problem for me to ever go to sleep unless i'm very very tired. Along with this i have all the normal add symptoms and seem to have had them since i was young. I just assumed it was the "hyperactivity" part.
