I was coasting but since i was diagnosed couple of years ago am now drowning, paralyzed anxious, and scared i fall short with every task ir interaction. I am very present and aware when i fuck up saying small unfinished sentences that dont make sense, my brain end up shooting thoughts and blurbs all over, i lose credibility and confidence with everyday passes. I worry reaching a point where i end up being retarded 42 yrs old dude who could have been something but ended up a loser.

Deep breath. Sorry you feel this way. Suggest looking into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reframe thinking. I tried it before and can attest it works. I should look into it again too.

Anyone here have comorbid anxiety and/or depression? How did you know, and how do you manage it now? I think I might be struggling with one or both and I’m trying to figure out how to proceed. Not currently seeing a therapist or medicated, managing based on strategies I learned from an ADHD coach back in college, so at minimum I would need to find a provider, which has been a barrier (cost-wise, finding someone with experience with ADHD, etc.)

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)
