@DrSin, my bf is pretty confident that I have anxiety. It's weird to think that I feel like worrying about things extensively is normal. A case I think of a lot is when we came home one time and a giant branch that had been in the driveway was taken care of by our neighbor. I thought about baking them cookies or something to show thanks, since as far as I was concerned it was our branch to take care of. Then I became confident that they would think that I was self-centered and egotistical to assume they did that for me, rather than consider that the branch may have come from one of their trees.

@BrenadryI, well, you 100% have showings of anxiety, to put it easier for people and you, worried about a branch is normal but then thinking I should cut, I’ll make time. But worrying about a branch and then wondering why it grew like that, will it fall and hit your car ? Your house ? Should you take it down? No it might hurt you? Oh god what if I hurt the tree and it falls and more damages happens and my neighbors get pissed and start to hate me ...... if you ever go on tangent like this , you have anxiety

@DrSin, can't say I've gone on tangents like that over work that needs done, I just procrastinate that. But I'll end up spending a ton of time thinking about what other people think of me and how to word what I'm about to say. Frequently worried that I'm bothering people by talking to them. Hell, I spent 10 minutes writing my previous comment, trying to figure out how to say that I felt like my experience was anxiety, and yet sometimes I still feel it's a natural reaction when I think about it, but that I trust bf to know when I'm needlessly worrying. Then I just decided not to say anything about that in general and to just say it should it become relevant

@BrenadryI, you have anxiety sweetie lol, I hate to break it to you, I know you know. This is 100000000000% anxiety, it’s hard but i dated someone with anxiety and she was the same way, careful though you got this, if you trust him, let him knows what’s going on, explain how you feel and that you freak out inside your head, it suuuuuuucks a lot but if they love you a ton, they will understand and help out

@DrSin, yeah, he can be a little impatient with it at times, understandably. It wasn't a huge priority before,but it has become one since we suspect that I also have IED, which is much more serious in my eyes. Thankfully though, should that be true, they typically treat IED with Anxiety medication, so I think I would only be on one medication anyway

Okay I need to get myself checked because I'm pretty sure I either have undiagnosed ADHD or an anxiety disorder. My mom says doctors kept "wanting" to diagnose me when I was a kid but she just thought I was hyperactive, "too smart," and a boy, but a lot of what people who HAVE been diagnosed with ADHD talk about feels really close to home, and if medication can help regulate the shjt that happens in my head, then I might actually be able to get my shjt together.

@SimonPetrikov, I was diagnosed this year at 34 and the medication has been a game changer. People don't understand that its not just the hyperactivity and forgetfulness, its what causes those things that's the problem. The older you get, the less new things you experience, which leaves the brain understimulated and can lead to severe depression and often substance abuse to fill the void. I'd suggest getting it checked. You'll know for sure as soon as you take the meds. Without adhd its more of an energy stimulant. With adhd its more of a brain relaxant. Sorry for the long reply but I'm very grateful this year after not knowing what was wrong for 8+ years.
This is called anxiety........... basically anxiety
