Thank you for caring.:hug:

at the moment i'm close to an 8 (i do feel like as a survivor of torture these scales get- all screwed up for me, just like the pain scales- like in extreme circumstances mine go higher than other peoples- but my therapists have assured/told me that's normal for my background).

it was more of a 9 earlier when i had a bad flashback and i got it down to like a six or seven for a bit but it's going up again- it's night time and i had another flashback and really wish i could cry. (I've used this a lot esp. when trying to do trauma work, btw- it's a useful tool).

7: seem to be stuck here. medical BS is not helping improve things. everything is starting to go to hell...

<chuckling> You know what's funny? My snap answers to this, completely without thinking about it... In the first place seem to use a 1-100 model, and in the second place? More dead on than if I think about it.

Okay. 7.4

Okay... What's that mean again? ((Go look it up. Oh. Yep. :P LOL ))

 

[Ronin]

What's that mean again?

Somewhere in I'm Peachy range?

(Cough. I just remember your scale when I'm feeling sideways, better.)

@Cashew... LMFAO. Yep! :sneaky:

Getting there at any event. My eyes are a lil too bright, smile too sharp, and the let's go f*ck shit up impulse is kicking in. Cough. More fun than rage. But definitely on the worse side of it. Showers. Food. No drinking. Reining the urge to go play in. Sigh. So responsible. :wtf: lol.

It's all gonna work out okay. No worries. Just need to find neutral to shift into, and not engage the gears.

 

[Ronin]

And the let's go f*ck shit up impulse is kicking in.

I'm at 'let's watch others f*ck themselves up or help them, more fun that way', eventually 'I know those angles, not taking them, however tempted, but what other way can I go for this?'. Cough. Dunno about responsible, but know bout being bored and needing an outlet for that. Still searching. Just wondering if you might be any similar, needing amusing enough activities placating the similar spectrum of urges?

Edited to add: Gotcha, venting. :) *needs a sticker saying 'C, sometimes people really just vent. For realz. Input not necessary.'*

 

[Friday]

@Cashew. Actually that's damn useful.

<grin> I put up venting warnings when I'm just shooting off my mouth.

Just didn't wanna worry anyone who knows playing may be fun, but it's ahhhhh... No bueno.

I'm delighted that this tool is helping to inform your self-awareness.:happy::happy::happy:

...and you are correct that this scale IS different for people with extreme trauma.:tup:

all trauma is negative, but not all traumas are extreme...some of the cult/ritual abuse and torture traumas WILL change how the person relates to SUDS completely.:(

Pain scales - 10 is "the worst pain imaginable" I tell the doctor "Not all imaginations are equal and unfortunately I have a very vivid imagination"
They don't 'get it':(....but I have a feeling you will.

Peace to you:hug:.
