Overstimulated + bored at the same time

Newly Diagnosed

I often feel sensory overloaded but mentally under-stimulated. Sometimes its like if my nervous system is buzzing, but nothing feels interesting.

If I slow down, I get restless and empty. If I push myself, I get overwhelmed. like my brain needs intensity to feel alive, but intensity exhausts me. Anyone else experience this?
