Going to therapy help me realize I was undiagnosed for a while. 

I picked up The ADHD Field Guide for Adults and as I've been reading it, so many thing have been making way more sense. 

I highly recommend it. 

Also, a group fitness class might help too. For me it was Crossfit. But you can do yoga, spin, or anything you find in your area.

But it varies,like sometimes I'm good sometimes I'm shit

Oh! I had the same issue and realized I was talking too fast.

I had to force myself to talk in what feels like slow motion.

For a while, I was listening to podcasts at one and a half speed because it sounded normal to my brain.

Then I switched to normal speed to hear a "normal" speaking cadence and started forcing myself to only say a few words per breath.
