The link between anxiety and ADHD (part 2/2)

[@kluckva]

for me my anxiety just makes it worse cuz im so scared i end up just doing nothing

[@limedishrag]

same with me

[@TheLadyhypa]

Literally it’s so horrible I work my self up to the point I suffer a panic attack and then can’t do anything 😢 I really hate this

[@lumi33tv]

Real

[@violet-yum]

I fell asleep on this video, and I thought that I was weird in my dream that they were just repeating the same phrase and then I realize that the video was just looping and it was all a dream💀

[@southbug27]

🤣🤣🤣 I’ve done that before. You think “Am I going crazy in my sleep?”.

[@sentineldomination7925]

I think we all crazy here adhdqrstwxyz yes officer I know my ADC's 😅

[@Kattpt]

I’ve thought I was addicted to anxiety and this explains a lot

[@carolyntalbot947]

This blew my freaking mind

[@sadiemaxfield7566]

Im not diagnosed adhd and I am just learning, but I do think I may have it, so ill share my experience with a warning to take it with a grain of salt that maybe I dont. How it is for me is either anxiety will really help me do something OR I will freeze, my mind switching between tasks over and over again as i sit there in a panic because theres just too many things to do Its a curse and a blessing

[@Why_who_where]

It's not a blessing cause you will feel so misunderstood cause they think you're being lazy and bored, especially if your parents don't believe in conditions like my mom, she believes in the existence of autism (my brother has it) and even though science confirms that you can have adhd/autism if your close relative has it, she thinks I'm just messing with her for attention. Life is awful when you're not taken seriously

[@RebeccaMuniz]

I have both and autism and so chaotic at times in my household lol

[@kierajayartistry]

This explains my procrastination. Once I finally do the task I’ve been holding off I do great. 9/10 my rambling has helped me typed papers faster than you can read them. But it doesn’t seem like rambling to the professor. Or my boss. lol

[@er6730]

Absolutely! I used it as a tool. After being diagnosed at 36 and starting meds, the anxiety levels dropped very dramatically, because I didn't need to work myself up to get things done. 👍

[@blacksheepministry]

When i started taking Adderall, my anxiety nearly quit all together

[@0nly0NE.]

I’ve been examining my past and I think anxiety was keeping adhd symptoms in check which is partly how I made it this far without being diagnosed. But I’ve done a lot of work on reducing anxiety and now it doesn’t have much motivating power in my life anymore and I am struggling with keeping my life in order in even basic ways.

[@MKhan-uv5kt]

This makes so much sense!

[@Aled_bo11]

I’ve got the trifecta 😭 The triple A if you will Audhd with a splash of anxiety Was diagnosed three years ago, took them two of the three to realize it wasn’t just anxiety. It’s is totally possible to have both/more.

[@Why_who_where]

Good luck on existing😅

[@lumi33tv]

I have intense anxiety from PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, as well as AuDHD and so there is definitely no motivation in anxiety for me

[@michelleheadley2911]

Trifecta of ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. And Cherry on top? End Stage Renal Disease which makes mental disorders so much worse

[@Why_who_where]

Are you okay? how did you deal with it when you were young in school?

[@SueP-jg9vx]

look up FMT - fecal microbial transplants

[@thebestperson1697]

I'm a good egg. Why am I so scrambled?❤😂

[@katriencornelis9730]

Explained very well, thank you for some proper information in this sea of drivel

[@Dirpitz]

Anxiousness and anxiety are not the same thing

[@montyswhitewomans6446]

True

[@tamarakist6875]

sooooo true!!!! ❤

[@Why_who_where]

That's exactly my life right now (i'm not diagnosed)

[@isabelleappell4480]

As a kid doctors thought I had autism but then they concluded that I have ADHD and my mom didn’t want to put me on meds so they told them to give me coffee. Is coffee supposed to be a natural medicine because when I have it I end up feeling like I have no energy and that I am sick with more anxiety. And as an Adult should I get reevaluated?

[@TorontoNeurospicyGirl]

I cant find part 1 please help 😭

[@NAskn]

My tendency to procrastinate interfered with my postgrad study, to the point that I developed generalised anxiety with panic disorders. I'm 30, & I suspect that the anxiety is the result of undiagnosed adhd. But my psychiatrist took my ability to perform well academically as evidence against adhd, so I never got tested for it. Any advice on how I can convince my health care provider to at least tests me for it?

[@kimberlykennedy747]

Tell them that you are not going to pay their fee until they test you for ADHD.

[@oscarcat1231]

Yep!

[@marysenialeon9697]

I think I have HDHD. ...sometimes I feel bored at work. Is that normal. ???

[@sadiemaxfield7566]

Yes its normal to feel bored at work sometimes literally every human on this planet has felt bored at work sometimes

[@hokiesuz]

We increase our anxiety by procrastinating, and ...

[@K777angel]
