IMO when we are in a toxic or stressful (more stress than we are used to/can cope with--IMO we all have different thresh holds due to our temperament and experiences) environment for a long time, it can cause us to develop anxiety disorders. I am not a doctor and am not diagnosing you but when you said, " I get really nervous, adrenaline skyrockets and I react in a hyper kind of way." that sounds like anxiety (our innate fight or flight tendencies gone amuck). I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder--conditions I did not have when I was younger but developed later due to the stress and curveballs that life throws at us all. I have noticed that many people (including some who are no longer with us) in my family have anxiety so I assume I had a predisposition but wasn't anxious when I was younger because my childhood was stable/a healthy environment. From what I have read, anxiety disorders are fairly common and treatable--you might want to consider reaching out to a healthcare provider about this.
