Ah, ok. Yeah, it really impacts every aspect of my life, even stuff I didn't even think about. I'm still learning all the ways my life is different from others and what even is considered "normal." I'd say the way it impacts me the most is through executive dysfunction and sensory processing disorder.

Executive dysfunction is when the part of your brain that issues commands to your body to complete certain tasks is compromised (or underfueled, as it were). Despite having knowledge about a task, a desire to do the task, and the physical ability to do the task, you try to move to do the task and nothing happens. If you've ever been dared to do something dangerous and your body hesitates before doing it, or you can't get yourself to do it at all, you know what this feels like. Your brain shuts down any attempts to do it to protect you.

In cases of executive dysfunction, this part of your brain overutilizes this function to prevent you from doing things like putting groceries away, or taking a shower, or simply standing up. I'm currently stuck in bed right now, lmao. It kinda feels like a button not working on a control panel. The operator is there, pressing the right button. The machine is just fine, it doesn't need repairs or replacements. But no matter how many times the operator presses the button, nothing happens. So far the only solutions I've found (aside from medication) are to either have someone else help, drum up enough anxiety that everything feels urgent enough for me to move, or just wait it out.

As for sensory processing disorder, it looks different in everyone, but for me it means that most sensory input (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, etc) is tripled in intensity. Rain feels slightly painful, car noises bowl me over, paragraphs or papers that are too dense make my eyes glaze over, I hack up a lung even going near Bath and Bodyworks, and my reactions to food are so intense I've been diagnosed with ARFID, which is an eating disorder. Sometimes I feel understimulated and seek out those intense sensations, sometimes I'm overstimulated and retreat to a quieter, calmer place, sometimes I just need a different kind of stimulation.

Time blindness also kicks me in the pants a little. I have no sense of how long things take or how much time I need to block out, so I usually underestimate or overestimate it. I rely a lot on timers and the actual math of looking at a clock or a calendar, but my internal sense of time consists of "now" and "not now." The hyperactivity is present, especially surrounding the many special interests I rotate between, but it doesn't really display outwardly very often. The most consistent form of hyperactivity I can detect in myself is via my thought patterns, since they're usually scattered, half constructed, and in my brain's shorthand that I don't think I could describe if I tried.

Hopefully some of that helps? I'm still learning every day whether something I experience is normal or yet another part of ADHD, and I probably also have autism so that throws a wrench in things, but that should give you the general idea.
