What Is Your Subjective Units Of Distress (suds) Rating Right Now?

I have been 9 or 10 for awhile but I was pretty dissociated about it. Now I am more a 7 or 8 so I am improving.

It’s almost a “You know you have PTSD when...” ...you have to start doing better, to know how badly you’ve been! :roflmao:

Hell. Forget almost. I’m adding it to that thread.

Can't scale, but:

Less done, more peachy / the what gets through the cracks is less determined rage, more just all explosive rage. And the underlying grief iced back up, instead of drowning me.

So... 9.7 not 9.8. (9.9 is total calm, 10 is over.)

Waking up spooned with trusted peoples helps lot. Even if I'm wtf??? and takes me a while to figure out.

My first post. Definitely 10 right now. Currently at the hospital waiting to see a dr. Feel like I’m having THE major breakdown that I will never recover from.

Hello, welcome @Yzabo. :)

Good you sought care.
Plenty of people on this site are a proof people do recover from major breakdowns... and in the meantime, we're here for you. ;)

Thank you ☺

Well this is an interesting scale. Hmmm. I think a problem I have is I haven’t felt below a four or five since all this started - so that 4 actually feels ‘acceptably good’ to me.

I have no idea what I would have rated pre PTSD regularly but I have always been ‘ a little taut’ and had to maintain awareness of that.

I think something I find scary now is I can escalate from a 4/5 up to an 8/9 rapidly. And then drop again less quickly . It unnerves me. I feel like a horse on a windy day a lot of the time .

Welcome @Yzabo!

You are amazingly proactive! Way to go with reaching out for assistance when you need it!

That's a great way of explaining it @Mee!

I am going to put that on my status!

Are the events related to November 3rd in America, affecting your SUDS Rating? If so, you are invited to state your baseline rating and your November 3rd rating.

NOTE: This is NOT an attempt to cause a discussion about these events. My purpose is to invite self-reflection and to encourage the use of the SUDS Rating as a means to increase self-awareness.

Be well.

I am 7-8 but I am reading David Burns' new book "Feeling Great" which was "Feeling Good" and my goal is to get to 3-4 in the next couple of days. My distorted cognitions have really crept back in, and some of them are sneaky, though I am not feeling good I am getting more and more awareness. I was 90 on the Burns' Depression Test a couple of days ago so I am reading the book and doing the exercises and it will come down.

My partner has been to four specialists and one doctors appointment in two weeks, we have one more specialist on Thursday, after that it's out of my hands, I have done everything possible.
