I think it is difficult if not impossible to objectively define giftedness and ultimately is not helpful. I think, in some realm, you might be several standards of deviation away from the norm and that would affect how you function. I agree with an above poster that the PTSD dx is the important one. I know there was question of whether I was PTSD or PTSD with bipolar. In my case, I have both disorders, or I should say had. I've recovered from the PTSD, so there is hope there.

They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
