Dr. Not Qualified here: I've been reading a lot about women and ADHD recently, and reckon L might have it. Just thinking about self reflection in particular, that often people with ADHD can ruminate on negative feelings like shame, guilt, anxiety, than on what caused it. It affects your ability to make decisions, think clearly, control emotions and relate to others. There's also a real fight or flight element to how processing conflict. I've a mate exactly like this, and it had gone untreated for years, and really exacerbated paranoia, rage and depression. She fully convinced herself people were scheming about her behind her back, both in work and in our group of friends. Reading Lindsay's statement again, it really makes me think that this is what's happening. My mate got diagnosed and is on meds and she says that she felt peace for the first time in her life since she was little. I genuinely see so much of this situation in Lindsay's. I hope whatever is wrong she can get it sorted. It's not right to be so anxious and paranoid, losing mates and work.
