Struggling with Undiagnosed ADD Symptoms

so I don't have a diagnosis for ADD but it runs in the family.. and I'm just tired of not knowing which symptoms are coming from which problem. Couldn't I just group them all into one diagnosis? PTSD maybe? I can't focus, I just kind of feel a little detached but not in a bad way i guess? I can barely read a paragraph and it's no longer just because I'm depressed (i dont think i am so much anymore), I just can't seem to follow through on anything even if I'm excited about it. And then I get sad that there's so much I wanna do and I know I have the energy for it but there's some kind of mental block. Not to mention my horrible memory. it's like Swiss cheese lol. I don't have any patience for learning new things or reading or any other projects.

I’d look into doing more research and hearing from more people when you can (Look for ADHD btw since ADD is now an outdated term). A lot of these problems can stem from both and honestly sometimes you just have to tackle a problem from 2 different angles but talking to people will probably be your best way to figure out where to start.
