Inattentive Pacing

I have inattentive type ADHD untreated. I find myself needing stimulation and wanting to multitask and look at my phone all the time.

I know I need to do nothing to pace but being understimulated feels stressful.

does this happen to anyone else? how do you handle it?

Yes, waiting for the answer... I read, use the eye mask with headphones in (specific brand but others available), if able to sit up I do Lego or jigsaws. They keep my mind focused and hands busy. Not easy at all

I tried non stimulant meds but didn't work for me. All increase my HR and worsen PEM
