I'm going to try and make this as short as possible. 😊
I'm 30. Have had anxiety and ocd since I was a kid. As an adult I've come to the conclusion that I think i have adhd. I think I've always had it. But it came off as laziness.
I have issues like: can't pay attention, cant stay (finish) one task. For example, I start doing dishes. I would love to do them all. But, soon after I start, I literally start to get anxiety if i dont stop.
Over the past few years, I really played attention to my issues and realized all this. If I want to get up to do something or finish an already started task I sometimes just freaking can't. I mentally can't. I'm such an organized clean person. (When my brain let's me be.) So to not be able to clean, organize or even decorate my house, kills me.
And I cant keep a job to save my life. Its weird, i want/love to work. Soon after I start, I can't begin to Imagine going back, so I quit. Bc of anxiety and part of it is bc I mess up so much.
Example: As a cashier when waiting on customers, I count money so very carefully. Thinking there is no way I can mess up. End of shift, my drawer is over/short. IT'S LIKE MY BRAIN DOESNT SEE WHAT MY EYES ARE SEEING! (Does that make sense?)
I have an appt with a therapist coming up. I just wanted some advice. Does this sound like your typical adult adhd?
Are there any medications that can help me?
