    You might have ADHD, and some other stuff as well.

    There is the Executive Skills Questionnaire (ESQ-R), the Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults (DIVA-5), tests for mood disorders, etc. that a professional could do to inch closer.

    The speaking out loud, mood shifts, lack of sleep and low appetite sounds like mania, maybe pre-psychosis states, and any related disorders, like borderline, bipolar, or schizophrenia to me. If you’re in the middle east, it should be really easy to find a doctor to prescribe you some antipsychotics for it. In my experience, describing symptoms like that, they pretty much all are eager to prescribe them. And I am not a professional, the message is just “maybe, have a look at this” :)

    Should antipsychotics be right for you, there’s also another upside with most of them: weight gain. The only time in my life I put on weight was on antipsychotics and it was quite dramatic.

    And yeah, I don’t think you’re healthy enough for Ramadan. I imagine showing them Suras about who should not do Ramadan could shut them up.
