Well, for all you people who scored "well" the pdoc who gave it to me many yrs. ago (guy doing the prelim research on Zoloft--that is a LONG time ago) told me he had NEVER seen anyone score as strangely as I did (helped my self-esteem, that remark)! I went to him--prominent pdoc, etc. as I had been suffering from when I was 15 & was maybe 35 at that time.

Anyway, his saying how strange my answers were & that he had never encountered someone like me scared me off. I never returned as my mother was a "bad case" of bipolar 1 & had ECT's, numerous hospitalizations, suicidal attempts & bizarre behaviors so, of course, I didn't relish hearing that remark!

Had tough times, for sure--but STILL HERE & STILL WORKING ON GETTING IT RIGHT! And I'm 55 yrs. old so lived much longer than mother did (suicide at 45) & longer than I expected for myself (1st attempt at 15; last one about 3 yrs. ago).

But doing all I can--indiv. therapy & DBT & meds, as needed...
