The accidents are something totally separate from my symptoms, those, by the way, weren't very serious, but I had a part of my face broken, nose and around, and banged my back head really heavy few times, so I just want to make sure that nothing happened inside there, especially that I had never done any brain scan or anything. My head might be as well clear and the headaches and all this stuff may come from hormonal problems and anxiety. There are also many neurological diseases running in the family, so why not check that.

Speaking of ADHD symptoms, I suffered from them my entire life, but they're much more visible now in adulthood. Of course ADHD often overlaps with many other difficulties, like anxiety, emotional problems, learning disorders, Oppositional defiant, depression, etc, even the autism spectrum, most of them which I also suffer from (Yet, for example, my depression started when I was about 9 and was mostly caused about not "being like the others" and lacking skills others had, or standing out bc of my nationality, looks, sexual orientation and character, although i do have some bipolar tendencies, since SSRIs made me crazy), but I don't think it's right to separate conditions so much, as they're often mixed with one another, as I said before. So, I have terrible problems with working memory, which almost made me lose my previous job (sales, ugh), multitasking, daydreaming, seeking stimuli, hypervigilance, can't do something I'm not interested in, which made me both under and over achiever academically (I was the best of the best in years at some subject, failed greatly the other), after passing my driver's licence on 8th attempt, I still cannot drive properly, which makes me really sad and my driving course was the first time someone suspected I have ADHD, I have problems with regulating my emotions and I'm really impulsive, talking about everything with everyone has caused me troubles too. I've had temper tantrums a lot as a child, been very opposite defiant despite being a girl. Frustration is a huge issue for me, mostly bc of my underachieving (things that other people find easy, I find terribly difficult). Struggling with motor skills is also a big problem, for example, learning to catch a volleyball ball took me...three years. Wanted to do horse riding but couldn't learn basic skills, can't dance, can't plan. I've always been very clumsy and slow. There are other things, too. Like hypervigilance to sound and light that sometimes makes me think I'm schizophrenic.
