    Thank you for this. You are the 2nd person I’ve heard from that have said the same thing about undiagnosed ADHD/ADD. I didn’t get panic attacks until post covid, and I’m also over 30. I have seriously considered checking out the ADHD path when I get insurance again. I have come off my anti-anxiety meds in preparation for that path and hope it’s the right move.

    I’m not diagnosed adhd/add/autism spectrum, but I do have a LOT of the signs. I am diagnosed panic disorder/anxiety/depression. Unexpected sounds are a major trigger for my panic attacks.

    A dropped pan, child screaming, or some other unexpected sound can trigger a panic attack in seconds. However, I also love the gun range, loud concerts, loud movies. It’s me telling my brain to expect something unusual that makes those things tolerable. I still have moments where I have to drive with no radio, step out of a movie, or head to the restroom at a concert to calm down. It’s so weird to me, and my wife sometimes doesn’t understand.

    It’s not that easy. In some areas, every retail store puts everyday stuff behind glass.

    New Orleans had virtually every chain retail cvs/walgreens/target etc. with half the store behind glass. A lot of the items weren’t even what you would normally consider theft targets.
