ADHD, racing thoughts, atomoxetine and

I have true ADHD, and one of my problems is difficulty sleeping because my mind keeps having racing thoughts and doesn’t feel calm. Would atomoxetine help reduce these racing thoughts and make my brain calmer, potentially improving sleep? I know atomoxetine can cause insomnia in some people, especially if taken at night. Has anyone with ADHD experienced improved sleep after starting atomoxetine, or does it generally make sleep worse? I would also like to know whether taking it in the morning is usually preferred. Or my science is pseudosciences?

Fear of Being Judged by Professional Wom

Hello Doctor, I have been experiencing a problem for a long time. I do not usually feel afraid of ordinary people, but whenever I have to talk to a professional woman (such as a receptionist, HR staff, bank employee, hospital staff, or office employee), my heart starts beating very fast. I repeatedly think that if I do not know something or make a mistake, she will judge me, think I am uneducated or foolish, or humiliate me. Because of these thoughts, I feel extremely anxious and nervous before approaching them or speaking to them. This problem also happens in banks, hospitals, offices, reception desks, and other professional settings. Could you please tell me what mental health condition these symptoms may be related to and what treatment or therapy would be most appropriate? Thank you.

Stress/anxiety don't know what to call

Hi, I am suffering from a lot of work stress from last 2 years . So I am in a lot of debt and to clear that debt I have to take new debt 2-3 months and this causes me a lot of stress, other than that I am a happy person, content in life, full of wisdom, and I consider myself a thinker not a doer, so from last 2-3 years I am facing this anxiety but it was never that much that I have to consult a doc but now when I am not stressed in the moment but still sometime I feel that I will never be able to come out of this debt and that causes a lot of anxiety and this happens when I am due on the payments of the debt otherwise I am a normal guy. Is it mental problem or just money stress ? To deal with it I try to find signals from god in the form of religious books or posts on social media. So again my question is is it just money stress or mental problem . Other than money problems I don't have any other issue with my life and because of this stress I have become very lonely in life.

OCD and hyperself awareness

Hello doctor, I have been dealing with OCD/self-awareness issues for the past few years. My mind constantly analyzes my body, thoughts and behavior, especially around people. For example, when someone I know comes toward me, I start thinking: when to make eye contact, when to look away, whether to smile, what to say, how long to talk, and whether I am behaving normally. I also automatically check my body and facial expressions. It also happens while doing normal work. My mind keeps analyzing how to do the work perfectly, where to look while doing it, whether I am doing it correctly, and how I should move or behave. I have been taking fluoxetine for 25 days, and it has helped a lot. My mind is less noisy and the thoughts are easier to manage, but the constant self-monitoring is still there. I found that simply noticing the thoughts and letting them be, without fighting or analyzing them, helps me more than forcing my attention outward. what I should try other then this

Sir/Ma’am, I am really struggling with my social anxiety, and it is affecting my job and daily life. I have both physical symptoms, especially an increased heart rate, and psychological fear of being judged or making mistakes in front of people.
