Just wondering if anyone else has similar issues.?.?

Yes, I do. I've had ADHA since childhood, & after a bad car accident, years ago, I began to experience depression, as well. ADHD may worsten depression, if you easily get stuck on something, or tend to obsess. I sometimes inadvertently go through the entire litany of issues I'm upset about, or dealing with, in my mind when it's racing, which makes the depression worse. It can be a vicious cycle, so I try to distract myself with some mindless entertainment, TV, music, or better yet, when I feel well enough to push myself, walking my dogs in a nice, quiet, place, & focusing on them, helps to change my sometimes "overtaxed" mind!
