My crew: ADHD, BPD, autism, general anxiety disorder and greater depression.
Though I am pretty sure the last two are just caused by the first three bullies.
Pretty much. Beta blockers help the jitters and at least take the anxiety down a couple notches. No idea if I get to add autism to the list, but I wouldn't be particularly surprised. There is a lot of overlap between the two.
Because of the overlap, I sometimes want to get a second opinion on my diagnosis. This article kinda helps with the feeling of "I can't possibly have all of these things, can I?"
Nothing wrong with getting another assessment, especially if everything was diagnosed at once, or out of order, if that makes sense? Sometimes it takes a bit of treatment/meds to detangle the bin of labels.
At the end of the day, if you can get the support you need and any documentation for the harpies, you are already ahead. Now, getting good support? That costs extra with a side of doubt, some F, and +2 to anxiety.
