So I am here to ask for some advice on my results of the MMPI2. My referral did not really go over the MMPI so much as the nueropysch results which were good.

It has been made clear to me by my therapist and a number of people that I obviously dissociate a lot like i am in my own little world. I feel like my emotions are all over the place and I generally have to write a lot of my feelings down because I'll switch to another mood/feeling/person what have you and not realize why I was feeling a certain way and think its silly or not be able to relate.

Anywho I took 1/2 of the MMPI2 and the result was Mood Disorder NOS and ADHD. It say I had significant emotional problems but I am not sure about all the scoring or what it all means?

I scored significantly high in Category F which was a T=84.

For the Clinical scales I scored significant in: Suspicious/distrustful attitude, anxiety, feelings of isolation/alienation/withdrawal/, emotional lability, and social introversion.

surprisingly I didnt score as depressive even though I feel depressed a lot but I am also stubborn about my way of life so maybe thats it.

Can anyone help me break it down more..... englishy? lol

I wont lie, parts of the test I really didnt know what to answer so i just picked the best one even if it really didnt relate to me, I hate Yes or No questions I want to explain or a detail question because otherwise I think of things that usually nothing relating to the question. I also didnt know I could leave questions blank. There were also some parts I probably answered falsely because I feared it would go back to my unit ie suicidal questions, plus i didnt know how to answer them because while taking the test I wasnt having an issue with thoughts or anything even though I've gotten in deep moods and have had them before.

I told the doctor too I honestly feel like I could take the MMPI again and it would just vary depending on the day because I just feel "all over the place" and don't relate to the previous time.

He said I was not overly favorable nor unfavorable when presenting myself and produce a valid profile even with a F scale rating of 84, I imagine this has to due with dissociation correct?

Or maybe the fact I like to hide stuff cause I dont want others to know? I wont lie I feel like I either say too much or not enough. I hide lots of information and play the good guy because I dont want others to know about my personal disorganization and chaos... not that they want to know, and I never know where the line is, I feel like i have to put on a happy face even if I am tearing myself up, its second nature. People tell me always tell me I am so happy, up beat, and positive and I kind of downplay it. I do like to exaggerate but its generally when I tell stories (who doesnt?!). I just feel like I can never find the right words...

Any advice is welcomed, Oh and feel free to move this post if its in the wrong spot. I wasnt sure where to put it.
Thanks for this!
