I can't concentrate on reading work at all. Also get racing thoughts, that distract me everytime i try to read,this is making me irritable.

I can understand what you're going through.

I am at a similar crossroads in my life.

One where I can't seem to concentrate enough to get my work done but neither can i relax and take it slow.

All that is left of me is a whole load of panicking.

We can help each other get better.

I think it's ADHD.

I have had bouts of ADHD and a lot of weird seemingly unrelated to depression things. One goes, other come.

Take a good long break from everything. Seriously. Stop feeding your brain with information, even like reading internet shit.

Your racing thoughts are because you cram in your head too much.

Smart is the art of knowing but not overthinking

I am not a doctor to diagnose that, but racing thoughts is a sympthom.

Don'tt worry about it.. it is also often a sign of advanced mind and high intellect.

Try to just let go of things and worries... there is no reason to worry about anything at all. ever.
