I want to share my story here to understand if I am just weird like this or if there are others going through the same thing.

I am 30 now, and I lived most of whole life being shy, scared to try new things, scared to get lost in new places, and very reluctant to try new hobbies or meet new people. When I moved from my parents house to a big city I barely left the house by myself because I thought I would get lost or mugged or something. It took a whole year for me to slowly come out of my shell in the new city. It took me even longer to make any friends because I could never talk to strangers - I would get very sweaty and forget how to use language because of being nervous. Even when I was having conversations that were going well they'd leave me drenched in sweat. I thought it was a physical problem and I solved it with extra strong anti-transpirant, but now I am starting to see that it could be related to anxiety. One of my biggest issues was motivating myself to do anything even slightly uncomfortable, and after 28 years procrastinating, being moody and having low self-esteem I finally took myself to a psychologist and was diagnosed with ADHD. I started therapy and medication, the therapy helped me a little but none of the 5 different medications I tried did anything to fix my motivational problems. My therapist diagnosed me with GAD at this point, because my issue with initiating tasks or even engaging in fun activities didn't seem to improve with the ADHD treatment. At first I did not really understand this diagnosis, as I always thought of anxiety as having many panic attacks, or restlessness, or nausea...

But slowly, finally, things are starting to make sense. All the sleepless nights, the worrying, the nervousness before trying something new, the bouts of crying, and the fact that I need to pee every half hour when I am out of the house. I don't have many physical symptoms but my anxiety seems to cause me to be paralysed a lot. My ADHD diagnosis still stands, and I learned that it is often comorbid with other disorders such as anxiety or depression. I still don't fully identify myself with the diagnosis, especially reading posts on here that talk about debilitating panic attacks, chest pains or stomach aches, but I feel a lot of sympathy for those of you who suffer from all these horrible symptoms. Maybe I "got away lightly" but I decided that if I want to truly live and enjoy my life it is time for me to embrace this diagnosis and start looking for treatment. I cannot even afford therapy anymore now (only one year is covered by my insurance) but hopefully I can find other ways to get better. 

What sucks is that my ADHD makes it nearly impossible for me to build routines, so it's difficult to plan in regular yoga, walks or breathing exercises etc. Is there anyone here who relates to the way I experience anxiety? I could really need some advice on how to deal with it, and how to keep myself motivated to keep fighting.
