I was diagnosed at 16 or 17 (now 21) and I all the signs for ADD in girls my whole life. No one ever caught it until I was on one medication for my acne it was a type of medication that would bring out ALL those lovely "issues" full force so it would smack in the face with literally everything you had everyday. While on that Medication I was constantly anxious, unfocused, and in a mild-depression. Along with several other things that come with ADD, Depression, and Anxiety.

In all I finally screamed at my mother that I couldn't focus, i was constantly twitchy and terrified of large crowds, and that i felt trapped and wanted out yet I felt like everything was moving too quickly and yet too slowly all at once in my head.... needless to say she got me to see a doctor where within a month (or maybe it was three... my days run together) they diagnosed me with ADD (not ADHD), Anxiety, and Mild Depression. I am now 21yrs old, on no medication(as my doctor and I found what works for me in my profession) and thriving in my profession.

I do strongly suggest talking to someone. That helps me a lot. And make sure it is someone you are comfortable with. Otherwise you will get no where as you will never fully open up to them. I have a Therapist I go to after my last mental breakdown. We talk about anything and everything. Sometimes its just me talking about my week. Othertimes i go in and I end up just crying because it is a "disastrous week" and we try to figure out what is going with my emotions, and how to best express them without hurting others (i have a tendancy to bottle my emotions until they explode). Since I have been going to her I have gotten much better at expressing things without just snapping at someone. So I do strongly recommend talking to someone as it is a fantastic help and mine helps with my Anxiety and my ADD, my mild depression comes and goes but she does help with that.
