I have Bipolar II and some of the symptoms you are experiencing definitely could be symptoms of bipolar. I'm not saying that's what you have of course, and it very well could be ADHD since I am not a doctor! I've heard that there can be an overlap in some of the symptoms.
Some of the symptoms stick out to me like sleeping less, being sometimes impulsive, and starting many projects that you struggle to finish. I also experience a "burnout" a lot of the time after going into hypomania, but I'm chronically fatigued as it is so it's hard to say.
It may take a year for you to get a formal diagnosis like you said, so I'd start the process if possible. I'd also talk to your therapist about this. I know they may not be able to diagnose, but maybe they can give you some tips on how you can track your symptoms, etc, so you have a better idea of what could be going on,

You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
