My life being boring is a good thing. No drama, no issues, no conflicts. Just me doing me. I have hobbies again that keep me busy, and I see friends more now. Before, not having hobbies made me feel empty and unfulfilled. Now that I’m actually getting back into reading, doing puzzles, cleaning & running errands, my days are more fulfilled. The lack of motivation to clean and do errands makes me think I have ADHD, on top of all my other symptoms of anxiety. It explains why I can’t focus when too many noises are going on around me, why I can’t focus when someone’s talking to me, why I get distracted so easily, why I push things off until the next day, my impulsiveness, my forgetfulness. I strongly do believe I have ADHD and I’m surprised none of my doctors have gone into more detail aside from my anxiety and depression diagnoses. It’s kind of weird how none of my doctors really did a mental health screening to evaluate all of the imbalances I may be dealing with. They only zero’d in on depression and anxiety and stuck with it. One did ask if I thought I had OCD, and maybe to a very small degree, I do. But considering my fidgeting, restlessness, and being easily distracted, it seems ADHD would be a very good consideration in addition to anxiety. Yeah, my restlessness and fidgeting has decreased since I’ve been taking Zoloft, along with the intrusive and obsessive thoughts of anxiety. But my forgetfulness, impulsivity, and lack of attention is still there. All I can do now is wait to see who my doctor referred me to for a psychiatrist and therapist… by the way, Cigna insurance sucks. I have to wait to get mail for my referral information. Cigna, you have an app, use it.
