How do you deal with stress? I’m constantly stressed and overwhelmed for no real reason because my head is too loud all the time. Waiting for adhd medication which will hopefully help but really fed up with being stressed and unable to fully relax.

I don't think the stress will be for no reason. The reason may not be obvious, but buried somewhere there will be something. You might not even want to admit it to yourself.
Maybe to do with fear of failure, fear of the unknown, of being seen, fear of what people will think, worry about being different, worry about what to eat, worry about letting people or yourself down, problems with making a decision, worry about the future, or jobs, etc.
Trying to recognise your fears may help. The next step might be to take 1 or 2 and look at whether the issues are real, or exaggerated in your mind. Maybe look for examples where you have done things well and they worked. Where you can build your confidence.
Then perhaps small steps to slowly beat down the walls. But in little steps so none seem too hard.
Having a plan would also put you more on control which always helps, even if you don't fully stick to it. Turn the worrying into planning.

The reason is maybe because I’m always worrying about the smallest things and thinking into the future, I can’t just be in the present moment ever. I don’t think I’m really being scared of anything. I need to keep myself busier and distract myself I think. Thank you for the suggestions.
