That's not too bad, I guess...PTSD score is higher than it probably normally would be, but otherwise it seems about right. I'm not sure what "life events" or "borderline traits" are, though.

I think those high scores could come "from" the PTSD??

[Rio_]

Thanks, Sky. You're probably right, and the PTSD seems to be calming down a bit now, which is a relief. The last few days weren't much fun.

Do you know what "life events" means? I guess "borderline traits" is probably something to do with BPD, right?

[Perna]

I think I got a 47 with "life events" highest. Life events are like death, divorce, marriage, graduating from school and having to find a job :-) the "usual" The big events in your life, good or bad, that have influenced you.

[(JD)]

But with PTSD, those types of events are always BIG!

I also scored up a bit on those borderline traits..and I'm pretty sure it has to do with the dissociative factor of PTSD... the coping/ escape from the stress, etc?

[Rio_]

Not bad, Perna! Ok, thanks for explaining.

[Rio_]

That could be it, Sky. Thanks again!

I wasn't expecting that! Maybe I'm saner than I think. (Self esteem, technology issues and life events are still exactly the same as they were before, though.)
