Yup. I've been diagnosed with Complex PTSD with the above symptoms. I meet the diagnostic criteria for TL ADD quite well, though. I'm curious, did you grow up in a 'disfunctional family'? Do you have any history of abuse? I ask because I read my symptoms as the hyperarousal of PTSD.
I have, however, been described as 'atypical'.
I'm very sensitive to stress. I'm convinced that if I could get all the stress from me and get some trauma therapy, I could be free of my symptoms.
If you are reading this and you don't know what Temporal Lobe ADD is, see the following:
