None of my family knows this, but I have had issues since school. Most people think I'm easygoing and quite happy. However, I always felt uneasy and nervous at school; I felt like I could have achieved so much more but felt zoned out.
I cannot keep friends. I have lost so many friends in the last couple of years. I don't message back as I get overwhelmed with life in general. People just get fed up with me. I never had a relationship as well.
I struggle to communicate and hate face-to-face meetings or group settings. My brain becomes mush.
I have ran a business for approx 7 years. At times its looked really promising, then the self doubt, anxitey kicks in. Have a bad week or so. Then I get a week feeling really confident getting up at 5am to go for a swim. I have a shared office; It must look wild to other people how my schedule operates.
I simply can't keep going around in circles. Having a good week, a bad week then some OK weeks. Its not like I'm crying in bed all day (my mum had anxitey and depression). I function, swimming helps me a lot, I eat a lot better these days. When my mood is good I'm up at 5am going for a swim. I can get loads of work done, then get days where I can't motivate myself at all and get massive self doubt. I get these weeks were I just feel completely burnt out with no energy. I don't really feel emotion much anymore, everything just feels like another stress.
I'm sometimes dancing around quite happily to my music, going abroad on a little Europe trip. Sometimes I work all week, on my day off do to London Swim, Eat out spend until 11pm there. Can't remember the day I actually relax some weeks. It's such a mixture of emotions at times. I can be very unorganised, people in the office have told me in the past I become quite distant at times.
I have played around with the idea of having inattentive ADHD, I've had 2 friends in a joking way stating they think I have ADHD. I can't imagine seeing my GP of years of having no issues like this (as far as their aware).
I have a big opptunity coming up, I really can't keep mucking up. I want to achieve a lot in my life (even though have mucked up bad at many points), but I feel held back.
I really don't know what to do, like I stated above. Surely, it's laughable going in to your GP when on the outside your functioning like a normal human (I'm not crying or in a state of despair; it's so ridiculous how I feel sometimes I find it quite funny at times).
