Am already on ritalin, as an augmenter to effexor, so perhaps you are all right in saying the dx is moot.
re: writing phobia--I had it bad, real bad. I used to procrastinate doing homework, esp. any kind of writing, until the deadline was so near, or so overdue, that the adrenaline had to kick in big time. I hated the mad rush of adrenaline and anxiety, but it was the only thing that got me to do the work. I would get so stuck feeling like I didn't know how to start, had nothing to say, etc. I still have this problem with anything that I feel will be read and evaluated (like at work), but after college and grad school, I started writing bit by bit. When I went back to school in my late twenties, computers were on the scene and that was a life saver. Somehow I could convince myself to write first and edit later, rather than paralyze myself.
