When I say that it would be a good idea for you to see a psychologist, I'm not saying that you necessarily need a course of therapy, Maybe it would be good to talk with one to discuss your problems and get ideas for how to deal with them. You can get a referral from your family doctor.
We're in no position to diagnose, but I'll give you an answer with ADHD advice that people have said is helpful. It's for students doing homework. I know you're not a student but there are ideas that might carry over to your present situation. Give them some thought.
The last time I answered one of your questions, I suggested learning stress management methods and learning about self-efficacy.
About stress management, what comes to mind when I read your recent question is mindfulness, which is good not only for our nerves but for avoiding mistakes and accidents. It's one of the things recommended for ADHD,
Mindfulness is sometimes defined as intentional awareness of the present moments. You might say that carefulness is a form of mindfulness. It's not going through life on autopilot. This is accident prevention and it's also therapeutic, because it's relaxing and it helps you to appreciate all the nice things in daily life that you'd otherwise overlook. For example, you can slow down and really appreciate a cup of tea or lunch instead of gulping things down, unconscious of what you're doing.
Here's a mindfulness answer rated Best, 5 Stars.
Another thing that's really good for stress is breath awareness/ controlled breathing. which is related to mindfulness.
