I’m not entirely certain but probably in medical terms, something like “secondary anxiety”. Secondary in this case is referring to the cause of the symptoms; that is, it is “indirect” anxiety caused by ADHD, rather than a “primary anxiety” caused by something like GAD. Differentiating the underlying cause is important for treatment strategies.
“…And it has been causing me great anxiety that is preventing me from doing other things that I intend to do.”
“Yet, even now that I have replied my shame still consumes me. I fear I may never be productive again.”
Are you in my head?
I — I need to go lie down
Please tell me, what is this called??
