wondering of people can share their experience with adhd

Hey I'm not actually part of this community, but am curious what your experiences have been life. I was recently talking to my brother and the way he described his adhd was super shocking because it sounded similar to me. I have depression and anxiety, but the medications I've tried haven't worked at all and honestly probably made them worse in some cases. I also found out that guidelines suggest that doctors test for adhd along with any depression and anxiety related symptoms/disorders. I don't necessarily think I have adhd, but the doctors never listen to me when I brought up any possibility when frustrated that my medications had no effect. Like both my brothers have adhd and at least 1 cousin possibly 2 out of my 3 first cousins do as well( 1 of them is female and is having a hard time getting anywhere with doctors). My doctor told me because I did well in school it's very unlikely I have adhd, but when I talk to people that have adhd it seems pretty much exactly how I operate. Like I have a hard time focusing on work and always have, I hate studying but I was smart enough as a kid I could look at stuff and just get it done. I constantly make stupid mistake, daydream all day long, when I try to study it's hard to focus cause I keep looking up things that are vaguely related to other things and then 30 minutes later I realize I'm supposed to be studying. Things Ike that also can't keep still when trying to work I'm always playing with things. I'm not sure if these are just depression fog related and nervous energy, but these seem to track with what other people have said.

Sorry for the wall of text.
