Similar story, except I'm a bit older. I got diagnosed later in life due to the amount of energy the coping mechanisms you mentioned cost me, and I came to a point in life where I could no longer afford that.

If you feel you're at maybe 70% capacity, you can probably go on, even if something in your life will change. If you're scraping by with the occasional malfunction / mishap, you might want to reconsider getting help.

Just a thought.
