Impulsive addiction and my self awareness of it

I've been dealing with this my whole life it's made my parents skeptical of me if I take things seriously anymore my parents doubt my issues cause I ran into this cycle of doing impulsive things like not studying and just fufilling short dopamine enjoyment (watching youtube videos adnauseum, video games, etc). I'm getting a little better everyday tryin to keep my concentration going, but there's these cycles of complancency when things get a little better then i get back to the bad habits or I guess what I've been told it's part of my adhd. I'm taking medication but I don't think I've gotten the proper guidance. My dad kind of relates cause he has ADHD but he has no trouble when comes to productive tasks like studying an exam. But I think I want peers that relate to me to give me advice or just share their stories too

I'm hyperactive impulsive, when I was studying I had to burn enough energy off, to the extent I was physically tired and get a supply of endorphins before I had any hope of concentrating long enough to study.

So like pushups or jumping jacks or you talking really intensive like jogging or for the hardcore burpees?

A mixture of everything, favourite one was just a short sharp walk.
