Restlessness or just stressed?

I struggle with - RSD - emotional dysregylation - impuslive decision making (buying stuff impulsively, shaving my head cause hey it's quarantine -i'm a female so a bit more stigmatized to do so lol-) - mental hyperactivit - obsessional phases with things - some others

The main symptom i'm questioning is the "restlessness" and feeling of being "driven by a motor". I have this on a mental level, but i'm wondering if the tension/unease i feel when trying to do certain activities is an expression of the inner restlessness.

I've coped with the "overwhelmed" feeling mostly by starting a bullet journal and working hard on a schedule and rituals.

Although I guess when i need to do boring activities i do feel this intense urge/need to be doing something else, as if there's something really important that i'm missing. (Even though I know that's not true since I can look at my schedule and know there is nothing else, it's more a feeling).

E.g. when I need to study for school I get this physical feeling of urgency and tightness in my chest and end up hyperfocusing on music theory or some shit
