Hyperactivity doesn’t always involve a body in motion. It can be internal, invisible, quiet. It can manifest as mental fatigue or a buzzing sensation in your chest. It’s restlessness and rumination. It’s that feeling at night when you close your eyes but your mind won’t settle.

“But you don’t look like you have ADHD.”

ADHD can be invisible. Masking is a well-developed skill.
