ADD/Restlessness and Anxiety

Lately, since being told I should talk to my psyc doctor about being adult ADD, I have been noticing some connections. Because of a wrist injury, I am off doing some of the duties I would do at work. My boss had put me in charge of projects like email that I can not do now. I work in a call center and there is down time between calls. Thing is, I get bored, then feel scattered, then restless and then I start to panic since the restlessness gets uncomfortable. Does anyone know if this is normal? Or am I making connections to things that are not there?

Anxiety and ADD

Anxiety is a comorbid condition often associated with ADHD, as is restlessness or hyperactivity.

If you feel that these symptoms are interfering with your life and your ability to do your job, you may want to see a doctor about an ADHD diagnosis. Hopefully your symptoms will improve with the proper treatment.

Good luck, Dena

ADD/Restlessness and Anxiety

Oops, I should have said I have been treated for depression and anxiety for about half my life. I am just waiting for my appointment on Aug 12 to come up with my doctor. Thank you though! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't connecting things that should not be related.
