I have problems concentrating & breaking down tasks into manageable bites when I'm stressed. Is it possible that you expect too much from yourself when you have been through so much? I was able to come up with some posts from the past, where folks with anxiety had an ADD diagnosis too. There's some good links within the posts, Dharma. Good luck & let us know what the pdoc says.
