Thank you for your long and detailed response. I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I'm really surprised when you mentioned in the whole paralysis thing. I feel like I can relate to that somewhat because there are days where I'll be at home and I know that things like chores need to be done and I want to do them but for some reason I just cannot. I will sit there and stare at a wall for an endless amount of time. Trying to convince myself to do it. I need to do it. I want to do it. I cannot do it. I can't explain it. My anxiety stems from I hate confrontation so I do everything in my power to avoid it. At work I'm always looking for things that someone could complain about that probably no one would even notice but I'm scared that someone will and they'll be angry and yell at me and so I constantly am looking for things. I change hobbies like people change underwear. I feel like that's something everyone does though. I'm in my late 30s. I just don't want to waste the doctor's time if I really don't have ADHD. Don't want to be that person That self diagnosis you know? I can't play video games anymore. I would love to play video games but for some reason when I try I just can't get into them. I can't pay attention to them.
