Hey Dinah,
Lately when stressed and castastrophizing I've noticed myself wondering "WHAT WOULD DINAH DO?"
What comes to mind is something along the lines of"Turn it down a notch, pop in a Nat King Cole cd and access your left brain. You do have a left brain you know."
What do you think?I don't know fromn those MMPI scores but I'll look thru my folder and see if they appear. There must be a dozen different scales and numbers here, standard deviation this and standard deviation that and MMPI-2 which in summary include the following doctor comments
"deteriorating",
"significant psychoychopathology",
"incompetence", "emotionally overloaded state", "very few inner resources for engaging in reciprocal exchanges of affection and compassion", "paranoid ideation", "moral decline", "chronic state of neediness", "guilt, shame, remorse", "strange and erratic thoughts", "may lead to further mental deterioration", "mildly anti-social", "thought disorder", "persistent pattern of odd or eccentric beliefs", "seriously disturbed", "quite prone to misinterpret her experiences" "in a very fragile state emotionally and will require close monitoring", oh, and my favorite, ..."most salient feature of this evaluation is the profound and constant emotional pain she seems to experience."Tragedienne.
Isn't that romantic.12 hundred dollars worth of MMPI-2, Thematic App.Test and the usual inkblots. I cried for 2 days after seeing it, wrote the doc a letter pleading w/ him to reconsider and he was breathtakingly sensitive about the whole thing, but, an impression is an impression I guess.
If I may ask, do your psychologicals involve such inspired language, or was my tester being unorthodox w/all the verbiage? The evaluation is 14 pages long, including an IQ test.
Social Security was not impressed, no benefits so far. Anyway what does 2-7 and 8 mean? Know of a good book I could check out to further torture myself with?Knowledge IS power, right?
Ok, Thanks!
