I have ADHD. I'm not exactly sure if this is a common problem for people with ADHD or if it is an anxiety thing or if it's just me.
I have to keep my hands busy. If I'm not doing something with them, I can't focus and I start touching random things, rearranging stuff, or touching my face. I struggle to watch TV or sitting in class without taking notes or doodling because I feel funny not doing anything with my hands.
Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have a solution? My T recommended getting a stress ball but I'm worried about getting it and then losing it.
I'm also on 45mg Adderall XR in case that's helpful. I find that it absolutely helps me stay focused and is generally great, but it obviously can't fix everything.
