I’ve personally been diagnosed with ADHD at 30 years old. Methylphenidate is the only thing that seems to work to calm down the infinite storm of thoughts/ideas you describe (and avoid the spiraling anxiety, etc). Not saying it’s the same for you, but I personally never considered I could be ADHD, the diagnostic, and everything that comes afterwards has been a life saver for me, that might be something to consider. Because your post is basically describing my brain process without medication. All the best. Edit: I would recommend to check „Taking charge of adult adhd“ by Russell A. Barkley, even if just as a way to see for yourself if you match the symptoms or not.
