How old are you now? How long has the ptsd shown it's face?
I don't know if a 1-10 system works well in this and I would have to actually see it or read the case files, ect...so I can't really say, but if I had to it is above 5 and I think 1 is high...an 8 maybe rape/molestation a 10, death...hard to do it this way.
This all has a lot to do with my being on disability right now. Thank God in Heaven, whichever one you believe in, that I was raised by to great parents. I have been spanked for crossing busy streets and stuff but never even left a red mark and the parent who did it would be crying for it would truly hurt them to more then me, but they were raised in an age where there were no "time outs" yet, so they did what they knew and softly. Usually if I cried I would end up with ice cream within minutes
When I started to work in domestic violence after school it was so foreign to me that I literally flipped. I flipped so bad I have ended up on disability, hate getting it, but do not know if I will ever work in the field. If I do , though, it would be with another population like substance abusers or people like me, just plain screwy like me/us babblers (in the mental health field like I did for a while in the past) or find, like I have been, another job that I can handle.~tony
