Impulsiveness

I just feel the need lately to control myself I feel like I lost self control lately. Ever since I finished college and I don't know why but my ADHD has just increased and I feel way more hyper than normal. Also, I feel like I got more testorone in my body than normal really. I tend to be very impulsive and don't always think before I do something such as the consequences or how it could affect me. Like today I went back on that website Character Ai to create another account cause I was bored and I forget my one password and I sent an email to re-do the password. But my gmail came up saying this website is unsafe eventhough the email from the legit website itself. I keep feeling like I make the same mistakes over and over. I think it's because I have this high standard of myself that I have to have otherwise I'm just this stupid silly person inside. Why do I feel so hyper and masculine at times. Sometimes I question who I am. Sorry for the long ish rant I needed to mention this ish.

Thank you so much, I know this sounds very weird like of me lol but as a female assigned at birth I guess I feel more testorone than I normally should in a way. I guess I feel like I got way more energy than normal and I feel *horny* to quote sometimes and I do feel awkward about feeling this way. I think my self control is to do with my impulsiveness as I go head first into thing and I am ten to the dozen with stuff rather than slowing down and thinking first in a way. I just feel like I'm more angsty even though I am out of the teenage phase as I am an adult now so I should be thinking more like an adult but I feel young in myself not to mention more hyper ish.
Even though we have ideas about what it means to be an "adult", there's no fixed time that feeling like this might go away - there are others who are much older who probably feel like this too. That being said, it sounds like this is concerning to you, and I wonder if you've considered speaking to your GP about how you feel?
I can understand the medication is a tricky one. On the one hand, struggling with focus and feeling hyper or lazy can feel frustrating; on the other hand, eating is very important too. This is also something I'd have a good conversation with your GP about - there are multiple types of medication that all work in different ways, so it might be worth exploring to see if there is something else you could try that doesn't impact your eating, but helps to regulate your energy and restore your focus?
I may actually ask my GP about it possibly the next time I get an appointment even though it has been tricky trying to get an appointment as aparently they aren't available even though my doctor mentioned about having an appointment soon as I have an annual six month review.
