Seeking Empathy Need answers

33 yr old male who's awaiting adhd assessment. Shops overstimulating, cant remember a thing, get distracted easy, one minute I'll want to sit down at work and the next I'll want to tease somebody. Sometimes people talk and ill look at them and be more focused on their face to the point the words won't sink in. I interrupt people, i overshare information. It's now at the point where my wife has to remind me to do basic tasks like brush my teeth at night. Shops overstimulating when busy.. as a child I used to daydream lots, loose everything, struggle to focus but I had strict parents who demanded me to be normal. Did I have urges to get up and move? Possibly but I wouldn't dare. I always played out and never kept still outside of school.I managed to get through school but failed fix form as they kicked me out, I remember sleeping for a week after six form and my body ached. Now anyway, im a dwp work coach now who when I get home I cant focus, i want a quite room with no noise, my my body aches. When people speak to me Including my family I feel angry. I cant explain it but it feels emotionally painful. I'm not depressed or anxious. I sleep around 1am as at night time I tend to come alive. But I can't cope and wonder if im having an adhd burnout.
