I go through tons of habits with my ADHD, but I think my main one is having conversations in my head with people I wanna talk to. I'm not sure if it's related to my ADHD, but it stands out. Recently, with my new medication for depression, I find that my leg has been shaking a lot.

I rub my nose. Each time I need to focus, I'll rub my nose. But I understand why, focusing brings back painful childhood memories, and rubbing my nose is the physical manifestation of this stress.
I'm not sure I fully understand what ADHD stems from, I only know where my own attention deficit is coming from. So while I can't diagnose myself ADHD, I have been able to ameliorate my capacity to focus by investigating some childhood issues.

You have no idea of ADHD and its repercussions, why are you even here?

Precisely because I don't know much.

Constantly thinking someone is upset with me about something, even when they're not.
I am AvPD (un-dx'ed) as well as ADHD (dx'ed). Bracing myself for a possible verbal attack whenever anyone says they want to talk privately with me. Having to put post-it notes all over my desk to remind me of things.
My disorders:
ADHD (dx'ed)
AvPD (meet all the criteria and have all symptoms - looking to get dx'ed)
SAD
Possible OCD or mild bipolar

I rub my foot against things like the floor, the chair or my other foot when im concentrating. I also make up scenarios in my head like others have said on this post already, talking to people I have encountered in my life. Im sure there are more but I dont care enough to figure out what they are.
When you’re alone the voices get louder
