@Zukosinferno, I well remember that extreme anxiety you describe. It can often be a part of ADHD.

So can struggling in college, and becoming so depressed and overwhelmed there, that we have to drop out. I went through that Crash & Burn, myself, even though I’d been an Honours student in high school. I didn’t drop out of university, but I did cut my course-load to the barest minimum, and I still struggled.

I felt so anxious and miserable. Only, I never even suspected I had ADHD. It was a complete surprise when I was diagnosed, just 4 years ago, many years after I (somehow) got my B.A.

Now that you know you have ADHD, you can learn how to work with it and understand it, and things will get better for you. Not perfect, but better. And you may discover that you’re much stronger than you ever imagined.
