Welcome to part 12 of the series: Things I didn’t realize were connected to my ADHD, but actually are.
Here we’re gonna chat about more about restless leg syndrome.
For the longest time, it just felt so dam random…
like my body was unsettled for some reason.
Like no matter how tired I was,
there was still this buzzing, restless energy that wouldn’t let me fully relax, and to be very honest I hated it.
But recently, I came across some statistics connecting RLS and ADHD…
and it stopped me in my tracks for a second, or maybe two.
Because suddenly, it wasn’t just “a weird thing that happens to me”.
And It’s something that actually shows up more often in ADHDers than people even realize.
Not everyone with ADHD will experience it…
but if you do, you’re not crazy… believe me.
And your body isn’t working against you… like you might think.
There’s a much deeper connection there than you realize.
Sometimes what feels random
is actually your nervous system trying to communicate something to you, and it gets louder the more you ignore it.
So when you start to understand it…
there’s a little more compassion for yourself in the process.
If you deal with this too, I see you.
Save this so you remember… it’s not just in your head 🫶
