huh... that all sounds quite familiar to me.
im going to recopy your post and put an 'x' next to symptoms ive hadX Depressed, especially at night/evenings
X Tired (physically, my body feels heavy? but i'm not overweight)
X Sleep (or try to) a lot
X Anxiety all the time
X Panic attacks, (3 in the past month)
X Aorgasmia (thats the lex talking..i hate ssris)
Dysthmia, frequently, I don't thinks it's everyday
Depersonalization during panic attacks
X Lack of Focus
X Lack of Motivation
X Lack of Organization
X Can't seem to get things done without writing a list to keep me organized, or just so i can check it off and feel good that i accomplished something(?)make sense
X YES YES. I always feel like when i try to do things like chores, i can't get started, my mind starts racing and i always feel like i have to do this first, or that, and then something else, so nothing ever gets done...i don't know if there's a term, but it's frustrating and isn't a mind over matter thing.
I'm also smoking and drinking a lot recently, which is weird but i feel like it's somehow tied into everything else.pretty compelling.. ive been diagnosed with bipolar spectrum disorder. My hypomania is much like ADHD (which i dont usually have). my hypomania is hyper, restless, slightly grandiose, impatient, ADHD, edgy, nervous. It can be panicky, depressed as well. and all that energy tires me out and im more tired..while being wired at the same time. lots of energy..but cant focus enough to get anything useful done..depression at night if im alone and not stimulated
im not a doc and everyone's experience is drastically different. Research bipolar spectrum.. ie. bipolar 2 and see how much you relate or dont and talk to your doc about it.
im having issues with meds right now..but ADs had a very bad poop out rate for me or made me worse (ie wellbutrin).i tried an ADHD amphetamine blend med for morning energy because lamictal gave me insomnia.. i just felt jittery and nasty on it..like too much caffeine.. definitely a message to me that im not ADD =P
good luck!!!
