I'm in therapy with my Pdoc for a little over 4 years now. She diagnosed me with BPD after a few sessions, later on she also mentioned I have PTSD and some dependant traits. I was ok with this and didn't question it.
Last year I started working as a secretary for her husband (a Pdoc specializing in Children and Adolescents), I really love the job, but I have had some regular mess-ups and often struggle to finish my tasks on time. Lately this has been so bad that I had a nearly daily urge to self-harm because I couldn't take the pressure.

Yesterday I had a session with my Pdoc and I told her how much I struggle with work despite loving the job. She started asking me questions about how I did in school and finally told me she thinks I have ADD inattentive type. I tried shrugging it off, saying I didn't notice any signs of that and this is when she actually told me her husband had suggested it first, that he had noticed some signs when watching me work...

She gave me a script for Ritalin to give it a try, and I need to schedule some tests to confirm this diagnosis.

I'm not sure how much I feel about all this. Is it yet another label or is there actually a chance this might work and improve my life?
