I have been wondering over the last few years if this is something that I have as well. Strangely enough it might have been TikTok that tipped me off (I know, I know).
One thing I saw was that people with ADHD are constantly thinking about everything...from one thought to the next with no break whatsoever and I am horribly disorganized with time management. No matter what I try, I can't seem to keep on track of everything that's going on and that often results in long, long days of cramming a project through that is stellar, but exhausts me and my mental state in the process. When that happens I isolate from the outside world, choosing to stay in and do literally nothing. It's like there's no middle ground between going full-out or almost in a vegetable state. My anxiety is probably higher than the norm, but I hide it very well. The list of coping mechanisms I do on a daily basis is vast...
How did you approach your doctor about it? I have to admit I'm apprehensive about medication, but if it works then it's probably a good idea to try?
