In the past two years, my husband and I have been through a severe car accident (that could have been fatal) he was off work for almost a year, got married and built a house all in the same year!!!) months later he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I have found myself not being able to concentrate, being destructive, like ripping things down instead of taking my time, breaking things, not being able to focus on a conversation, I feel like my mind is going a million miles a minute. I can never slow down unless I have a couple drinks, and I am not a big drinker! Do you think I have Attention Deficiet Disorder, or some kind of anxiety disorder, or do you think it is because of all the trauma I have been through the past year, whatever it is, can someone help!?

I have Adult ADD, and even if you had Adult ADHD (with the hyperactivity included), that would not explain your mood swings (destructiveness, etc). I think clearly, you are suffering from an anxiety disorder. I too have MS and I know the stress and strain it can put on a marriage.
Please listen to the others who have weighed in and seek professional help. You've already taken the first step by asking for help. Now finish out; find a psychiatrist you trust and talk to him/her. Good luck, HTH

Sounds like anxiety to me. Maybe you should entertain the idea of visiting your physician. I get the same way when trauma or stress build up in my life. It's like I have no outlet and I am always the last one on the list. No time for me.

Trust me, its stress. Everyone is a victim of stress, and there is a point in every persons life where it reaches a high level and forces the to burst. all you have to do is take a deep breath every once in a while. go out to a spa with your girlfriends for the day and take a day for yourself, to reflect on nobody but you. make sure that for a full day nobody will bother you. That is all you will need.

Please see a doctor- Its sounds like classic Anxiety issues.
Sometimes a mood stablizer is needed, to help you rest better and heal.
Lexipro is wonderful. Call and get it. Best wishes with all the things you have going on- that's enough to stress anyone out.
