The body rewards physical excercise with dopamine and endorphins. ADHD people are especially sensitive to rewards. You are accustomed to that now and it's your new normal. I think that you could readjust after a while if you stopped the physical activity but that's your choice.

I found an office job was too physically limiting so I have a treadmill desk, became a volunteer firefighter, and do powerlifting. It's the only way I keep stable
That’s very noble, I am way too big of a snowflake to see stuff that firefighters must see. I think it would mess with my head
You’ve inspired me to try to exercise for the dopamine
Yay, go for that sweet high
Ahh it's kinda carthatic to read this. only adhers understand... I'm not even a hyper person I'm really calm personality wise. Its the ADHD. I gotta drop and give you 20 a few times if my energy isn't going somewhere 😂
