18. I was a 70's hyper kid

now I'm a hyper adult,

One thing you are overlooking..Is trauma.PTSD.

It's really tragic when people/kids show up in an emergency room and don't even know what trauma is

And it isn't just beatings,rape/pedophilia.

It's verbal abuse,humiliation bullying,intimidation,neglect...

I think part of my hyperness was/is vigilance.

And once your fight or flight mechanism is stuck permanently in the "ON"position you can habitually be irritable,hyperfocused distractable..alot of the symptoms of trauma.psychiatric injury looks like ADHD.
