Sky, I'm glad you found those lists helpful in framing your situation in a way that works for you. I have to say, though, those lists do not fit with my experience of treating those with mental disorders and those with PTSD. The items are a group of statements that do not hang together with all mental illness. I don't know who developed them, but I admit, I don't get them at all.

It almost sounds to me like one person's conceptualization of two specific diagnoses. As if they were trying to reason it out for themself.

Just my associations to your post.
