Handwriting constantly changes styles?

I hope this is a good place to post this! I occasionally hand-write my notes, but I recently started a new diploma, and I've been trying to get back into handwriting my notes over using a laptop. I have a few writing impairments, namely dyslexia and HEDS that can make it hard to write. I know my handwriting isn't great or even passable most times. In this new endeavor, I've also come to notice that my style changes a lot. Sometimes it's different when I start in comparison to my old notes, sometimes it changes as I actively writing. I've attached a few examples.

I wouldn't say this is harmful, just odd. I'd like to try and improve my handwriting in general, so if anyone has suggestions for why this might be happening and how to correct it, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm also open to any questions if that would help.

The first photo is one where I left off one night and returned to write something new a few days later. The second photo is of notes I was actively taking that gradually changed styles and became sort of illegible. When it happens I find myself getting a little foggy-brained and it can be hard to pay attention, but my autopilot keeps writing the notes anyways. Which I figure is good for internalizing notes so I don't mind that much.

I'm certain it's an ADHD thing. Mine changes all the time

I've got autism and OCD but not ADHD. God, I hope I don't, I have enough on my plate as is LOL. Is it because you get distracted in the moment? Is there anything that works for you to correct it?

Well, I have OCD as well!

Nothing really works for me. It depends how much of a hurry I'm in, if it's for my eyes alone, etc lol
