Vertigo and ADHD?

Hi all,

I'm a 31 year old PhD student (almost finished) in natural sciences. I am in psychological treatment for a while now because I seem to suffer from a medium depression and mayorly because I have situations in my life in which I suddenly suffer from vertigo (like being on a ship) and drowsiness (which remains for days and weeks). I have a very nice therapist whom I trust a lot and I am now also on Citalopram. My therapist says that the vertigo comes from a fear which we now try to find the reason for.
Now I was doing some research on my own since I am not new to th topic of psychology. So since my therapist was very much interest in the fact that as a little girl I always wanted to be a boy, I started to search on this tomboy phenomenon. To my surprise I found that it is often related to girls with ADHD. I looked up the symptoms and it was like reading about myself in the past (school days mostly). Unfortunetly I also had and have phases in my adult life which point to ADHD although I had times in which concentration and these kind of things worked pretty fine. However the symptoms of ADHD have been a constant thing in my life. Now I have to admitt I also feel unsuitale for working in a high position job (I am looking for a job for over a year now) athough this is of course expected from someone with such a high grade of education. I can only say that I feel, even though I know that I am a very intelligent person, that I was never able to life up to my real potential. Always bumping against my own restrains, like not being able to focus on tasks at hand for a long time. Now this is back full force and I feel almost inable to finish my thesis
. I will discuss my speculation about me having ADHD with my therapist on Friday, however I have a question for you guys as well.
Do you think that it is possible that vertigo and this drowsiness has something to do with ADHD?

Best,
Hello

I've never wanted to be a boy, but I don't mentally identify with a gender. Not too surprised to here about the "tomboy phenomenon" because most females I've known with ADHD don't appear mentally feminine, more androgynous...or I suppose tomboy.

I'm unsure about the vertigo, I personally don't experience it.

I think I need to ad that I am a heterosexual woman with no remaining wish to be a boy. I am 100% happy and comfortable in my femaleness and surely anything but androgynous.
Nevertheless interesting that some girls with ADHD carry this into adulthood...

I get strange dizzy spells when I'm so distracted by whatever that I forget to eat. It can be troublesome, hunger pangs getting more uncomfortable, making me want to eat even less, which over time will make me feel lethargic&depressed. I don't get any of that if I take proper care of myself, tho.

Sometimes people will experience symptoms like the ones you describe after experiencing head trauma. You haven't been injured lately, have you OP?

About wanting to be a boy--whatever gets you off. I've been bisexual since I knew what sex was. I like girlie but comfy clothes, and think of myself as female.
