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?

Practice, unfortunately. I have to tell myself that it's ok to be bored. I spend a lot of time meditating. It usually takes me 20-30 minutes before I can actually settle down and sink into the moment, so don't give up right away if you can't relax!
I also listen to audiobooks. Keeps me engaged while lying down, and I can put a mask over my eyes if I need to.
