I have a lot of anxiety as well, and I (now) am assuming that a large part of it is due to ADHD.

What did/does therapy look like for you?

Therapy for me doesn't look like much of anything at the moment! I'm planning to seek it out, though, and either set something up with my current mental health practitioner or get a referral from them now that I've noticed some persistent maladaptive behaviors. I think that there are CBT strategies that can help with ADHD, by identifying bad habits and building coping strategies to help get away from them. It can help with anxiety, too.

My psychiatrist did say that anxiety and ADHD often come together; the one tends to exacerbate the other.
