I have found that a lot of anxiety I was experiencing was due to being in an ADHD tailspin – missing (deadlines/commitments/opportunities), frantically trying to recover, getting many “we’re disappointed in you” talks then my self esteem would plummet. So I just “tried harder” and continually live at warp speed. I did get lots accomplished, however many of the balls I had in the air would come crashing down around me still… *snif*
Going on medication didn’t take away the drive to get things done, or dampen my quick start personality. What it did was allow me to get precision sharp on one thing and able to move on to the next after completion. Now, it wasn’t all just medication, I have been incorporating some other strategies as well. Meeting with a psychologist has been so beneficial in creating these strategies and getting tips on how to stick to them. If you have insurance, some plans will cover a percentage of these sessions.
I am so sorry that where you live you do not have access to the medication like some of us other folks. I suppose everyone’s journey is different, and I hope you are able to get through the rig a ma roll of all those tests, and get some support through your Dr.
On another note, I too hate the uncomfortableness of clothing, am hot all the time as well and consider wool to be my kryptonite
