I don't know what kind of therapist and which type of therapy would be best for me. Any advice?

I signed up for this because I just feel stuck in life, I feel like I have so much weighing me down and I constantly experience anxiety from when I wake up to when I have to sleep. I find it difficult to fall asleep because that itself makes me anxious, and I find it the hardest to wake up. I sleep during the day and stay awake at night, and I currently have no routine. I've also been let off of uni because of my health status but a huge reason as to why I think I wasn't able to do my best at school was because of my mental health. Regarding ADHD, I don't have a diagnosis, but I have taken multiple tests and considering I'm becoming a speech therapist my advisors told me to get tested because of the symptoms I have, so it might be ADHD or something else. Other than that, I feel like I'm still stuck in the past, I find it extremely hard to cope with change and letting go of events that occurred in the past. I know something is holding me back from being myself and living my best life, I just don't know what it is. Lastly, it might be important to mention that I've completely pushed everyone away. I stopped responding to my messages months ago where I now have more than 700 messages, I've my friends away and I've completely isolated myself. I feel like a mess and just don't know where to begin. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
