Please tell me, what is this called??

I'm not entirely certain but probably in medical terms, something like "secondary anxiety". Secondary in this case is referring to the cause of the symptoms; that is, it is "indirect" anxiety caused by ADHD, rather than a "primary anxiety" caused by something like GAD. Differentiating the underlying cause is important for treatment strategies.
