Anxiety, depression and ADHD?

I’m 19. I hate self-diagnosing because I have no degree, but while my health insurance gets sorted out, I’ve been doing some research.

I’ve always been moody and quick tempered. My grades have been inconsistent since 6th grade. My mind has been wandering since 7th grade. Anxiety disorder and mild depression started in my early teens. In group situations, I’m always the one who needs things explain 80 different ways. I’m a procrastinator, I interrupt people when they talk, I have obsessions. Buckling down is hard for me and studying has always a lil bit impossible. I can’t turn my brain off–but this could be the anxiety. And I’m very disorganized and always losing something–maybe I’m just careless?

I bit the bullet and decided to go to therapy at school and take medication for anxiety attacks. I was on Zoloft from February to June, and it made me manic. The attacks were gone, but I had really bad thoughts that made it even harder to focus.

My mom is forcing me to go back on Z, even though it made me all messed up. She doesn’t think I have ADHD. Talking about my mental health to her never works–she just gets mad because she thinks I want something to be wrong with me. I’m not going to lie…I want a reason for the shit I’ve been through.

I was researching Cyclothymia when someone asked if it ever occurred to me if I had ADHD. My older brother has it, as well as my cousin.

I’ve overcome many anxiety disorders and my depression comes and goes, but I still cannot think straight. I try to and I get a headache!

Should I look into this further? Or should I trust that my mom knows me well enough and leave it alone?
uh thanks farrux

I would research it further. You could have ADHD as well. Can you get a second opinion from another professional?
