I think I might have ADHD or/and some other mental illness, what do you think?

Question by Lauren: I think I might have ADHD or/and some other mental illness, what do you think?
I am a 16 year old girl and I have been struggling my entire life. I have met with several doctors before but I feel like the things they have diagnosed me with dont quite explain all of my symptoms. What I would appreciate you guys doing is listening to my symptoms and then giving me some feedback on possible diagnosises that I could speak with my new doctor about. a “*” means it is a very prominent symptom.
*eating disorder symptoms (low self esteem, restricting food intake, overexcersizing, counting calories, intentionally throwing up “bad” foods that I was not suposed to eat, etc.)
***self-injurous thoughts and actions (cutting, suicidal thoughts, suicidal attempts)
*anxiety symptoms including panic attacks
-depressive symptoms (hopelessness, lack of motivation, frequent sad mood)
-impulsive behavior (both big and small things, but either way I’m not thinking before I act)
*history of traumatic events (sexual, physical, and verbal abuse)
-history of being bullied and teased (especially about weight)
*substance abuse
*denial (“I can go on a diet and not trigger my eating disorder”, “I can control my drug use”, etc)
-short term memory problems (long term too but not as bad)
*lack of concentration and discipline
-hyperactive behavior (can’t sit still, can’t sleep, TOO friendly- talks to too many people too much too fast)
***co-dependency
-very, very angry and irritable, but only takes it out on myself
-VERY infrequent outbursts (screaming, crying and physically hurting people around me)
-mild auditory and visual hallucinations (went away with medication)
*paranoia (thinking friends and loved ones are secretly plotting against me, everyone is lying to me, people are folllowing me and watching me, etc)
-VERY intelligent (145 IQ) but does poorly in school
-delusions (ex. thought my pet mouse escaped from the cage and was inside of my clothes… the mouse never left the cage) (went away with medication)
-constantly changing my identity not only by clothes but by behavior (one day I’m an emo rocker chick, the next I am a full out hippie, etc)
-entire lack of trust. 0% trust ANYONE
-cleptomania (stealing addiction)
I’d say those are the most important ones… what do you think..?
Keep in mind, any or all of these symptoms could be due to substance abuse, consistent mistreatment and disrespect my entire life (including family), and rape
Just post whatever you think it could be. I’ve been living with it as long as I can remember and I can’t figure it out myself.
