Hi. I was wondering if anyone else has been labeled borderline in the past and then a different therapist telling you have ADHD? I’ve been diagnosed with CPTSD, depression, anxiety, BPD and now most recently ADHD. I do have a short and recent history with self harm and some other features of BPD but I never felt like I quite met enough of the criteria for a diagnosis.
Now this ADHD diagnosis has come along and I feel like I hit many of its criteria, nearly all for inattentive ADHD.
So I thought I had BPD but turns out many of my BPD symptoms can be explained by ADHD or caused by ADHD. For example, impulsive spending, emotion dysregulation and even self harm can be components of ADHD. Also, ADHD can lead to depression and anxiety if untreated which mine is and always has been.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone can relate. I know the diagnosis itself isn’t that important it’s the work that you do that is important. In any case I just feel super confused about what actually is the thing I’m grappling with cos it seems unlikely that I can have all of the disorders I’ve listed.

Any input gratefully received.
