I've always been a pretty resilient person. I'm a single mum to a 7 year old. I have ADHD. Always functioned ok until now. Not sure what happened. I have crazy health anxiety which I've never had before - every twinge I think it's going to be something awful. I have patasthesia on my right hand side, it's real, I get tingling and pain in my leg every day but scans can't find anything. Almost feels like it's coming from my pelvis (not had a pelvic scan). I avoid going to GP as I don't want to be a regular there. I get this random pain next to my belly button almost every day, it's mild but always in the same place. I'm struggling with motivation, house gets on top of me. I'm irritable and tired all the time. It's like my life has just become a slog of anxiety and fatigue. I've never been like this before

It sounds like you’re suffering from anxiety and possibly depression.
Your age isn’t really relevant.
The individual things you have going on in your life have a big bearing.
It’s not uncommon to suffer with stress/ anxiety at different points in life but it’s not normal, no.
Nothing particular happens around age 30 in general to make this so.
