I have Panic Disorder in remission. I sucked it up and saw a doctor after. I was loosely diagnosed with ADHD as a child which my mom ignored since it was the phase of they're just hard and full of energy you shouldn't be a parent if you can't handle it! Phase. Too prideful for government handouts too.

I've known I had mild-moderate depression for a while prior which I self medicated in booze. General anxiety disorder since so many of them are comorbid. Never suicidal, but always felt numb and felt like I don't feel the same highs and lows as other people.

Basically I'd been having anxiety attacks since my 20s thinking of the nothingness after death. I then had two panic attacks after heavy days of drinking prior.

Adhd has bad executive dysfunction issues with starting tasks but I could generally finish when started. I vibrate and have to move almost always, shaking leg, playing with shit in my hands, etc.

The tiredness comes from all of it. You get super tired and frustrated from things you have difficulty doing.

ADHD combined type, gad, mild-moderate depression, panic disorder in remission. Took about 2 years to get my meds right and it's always a little balancing every six months now. But out of all the meds I started, Adderall and Vyvanse (fuck the generic wait period) had the most night and day effect.

I also take shit for asthma, high blood pressure, and meds that work on all the ADHD, depression, gad.

For people with alcohol issues, I also highly recommend Naltrexone. Curbed my drinking by a LOT. I can still be a functioning alcoholic if I wanted to be, but the default of drinking is no longer there. I just drink if I'm mind numbingly bored now.

Always being tired can he caused by a wide array of things, ADHD and depression just being two of them.

Personally I find having to force myself all day to focus on getting work-related stuff done just plain exhausting, feels like running a mental marathon day after day.
