I, too, kinda followed your path of diagnosis. GaD, Moderate Depression, recently PTSD and ADHD. I didn't know I had the latter two until I finally got help also. I am working on Mindfulness 1:1 with a counselor and my PCP is reviewing meds. It is frustrating when one trys to do what they have done all their lives: planning, organizing, carry-out daily tasks, think and speak on my feet. Today, for the first time in about a week, I tried to do some household business. Ended up taking an hour and half on the phone. After that one phone call, I just needed to go lay down I felt so overwhelmed. Crazy!! This type of lifestyle I am not used to. I, too, am researching and doing alot of reading. We must go forward to recover even if it means babysteps.

@david63 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!

No one said it would be easy, and it sure seems that it can be quite a feat to get through day-to-day, right? We will find that going slowly, and watching ourself, will help lead us to a better day-to-day life. Somedays are really difficult, definitely. If we look back to how we were, and where we are now, it might be hard to always see the ways we are feeling better, but indeed, they are there.

Keep plugging along, honor yourself, be gentle on yourself. When will you have the review of meds by your PCP completed? what do you think they might change?
