Hello. I have stated here before that I believe I have AD/HD - inattentive type, but have never been diagnosed. I am waiting on a full psychological assessment, but it has been pushed to the side because of complicated issues. I have been diagnosed with GAD. I believe some, if not all of it, is because I may have undiagnosed AD/HD. My anxiety over things started up suddenly, it wasn't like it has lasted a long time. I worry that I may not finish stuff on time, missed something the teacher has said, but I still procrastinate, still have a hard time paying attention. I have managed to get an IEP with extra time because of anxiety but I'm never anxious writing a test (well, most of the time I'm not. The rare occasion I am). I just get distracted either by things around me or in my mind that are completely random and not anxious related. I don't worry about having enough time anymore unless I only have 10 mins left of my extra time and I'm not done. One of my trusted teachers ask if I get anxious during test and that's why extra time is there, but I say I rarely get anxious and that's why I kinda thought about this post. Sometimes it takes time to process in my head, but other times I will waste 5 mins spinning on the spinny chair because it's a lot more fun than a test. But, has anyone been misdiagnosed with something else and once they went on medication for AD/HD, those symptoms went away? I feel like it may happen to m, but I am unsure. I know I can worry up a storm, but sometimes I think it is just about things related to AD/HD. I can worry about things, but I believe they are more related to OCD than GAD, like I don't want to leave the house unlocked because I'm afraid someone will break in and how realistic is that? I may check the door a bunch of tim s to make sure the door is locked, and worry. I worry mainly about unrealistic things. Anyways, has anyone been misdiagnosed and then AD/HD seem to light up the door to all their problems basically? Thanks for the response [emoji3].
