Anyone who has symptoms like ADHD? Hi, recently I am curious if I have ADHD. I have symptoms like ADHD since I was a child and my symptoms are all the time like: 1.When thinking of/picturing exciting things in my mind(it can also be independent of my current mood), I tend to get hyperactivated all of a sudden then nod and clapse both of my hands to mitigate the hypermotivations or stand up from a chair(if sitting down on a chair or whatnot) and walk around for a while and when the hypermotivations subside into oblivion I can stop walking and then settle down myself. [2.At](https://2.At) times I have aggressive thoughts/intentions/languages in my mind(at times the aggressions are even targeted at myself) or bad-tempered and easy to behave aggressively, also independent of my current mood. [3.At](https://3.At) times I get hypermotivated and become very creative industrious and productive. I even make usages of it to help myself finish my tasks. 4.I am kinda 'perfectism'. At times I am very obsessed and sensitive with subtleties like when I am watching a video filmed in a mountain, in a scenario I can even hear the howl of wolves in the distance on the maintain. [5.At](https://5.At) times my body movements are kinda weird and I gotta control them well. Like when I am speaking my enunciations are not following the norms, and my forearms rise up simultaneously and I gotta consciously put them down. Plus usually I can't control mumbling the words I create in my mind or even the body movements contained in the scenarios I picture in my mind. 6.I am also moody, namely I think my moods are fluctuative. But I can concentrate myself well on the things that I want to concentrate on, like having lessons, and I am not facing with issues like ADHD patients like they can't control standing up from the chair and walking around maybe until the teachers mandate them to sit down well, instead, at most I just distract myselff off the lessons to the sceneries out of the classrooms. Also my self-discipline is even better than normal ppl(I can be quiet and amiable, but in some cases I can become 'reckless' enough to break the rules and do something that is unprecedented, or have 'reckless' or 'unprecedented' thoughts/ideas). Anyone else who is facing with the same problems?(due to the lockdown of Shanghai I can't go to hospitals, so...)
