So my therapist and I are going through a process of  learning more about whether or not I have GAD or ADHD(trying to figure out whether the constant need to be in motion is coming from ADHD or anxiety). I don’t have a therapy session until Friday and I don’t think I can wait that long to find out more about symptoms I’m going through, so I’m posting this instead.

For the past few months now, I have been getting this tightness in my chest, like I really need to do something urgent, but I can never figure out what it is. Ive started shivering a lot in an attempt to get rid of this feeling, although it doesn’t work. Sometimes it comes out of nowhere, and sometimes it happens when I look at homework, and I end up in physical pain over trying to focus on a simple question. This has been affecting my grades, as I end up with late assignments, and often cannot study. 

what I find weird about this is that I have always been a good student, and I am confident in my abilities to pass a class. In fact, I often feel like classes are too easy. Once I can focus without getting that awful tightness in my chest, I have no trouble finishing work, and get it done relatively quickly. 

 I guess I’m mostly wondering if anyone else relates to this, or if anyone could explain it.
