continuing the recent trend: CTPSD test time! pleasantly surprised i don't meet the diagnostic threshold anymore, my test from 5-10 years ago would've looked very different

@vantiss admittedly I'm also in a pretty good mood today so that may be skewing my results a little, on a less good day disturbed relationships at the very least would probably be higher

@patchuun @vantiss tbf i have a tension headache which is probably making my results a little more severe than they would be otherwise

theres also some that i interpreted as including concepts that ended up coming up specifically later which is why i dont like tests where you only see one question at a time

@monkey @vantiss yeah that's the other thing, like, what's the frame of reference for having a hard time getting close to or trusting people? from the outside looking in it probably seems like some of my scores should be way higher and maybe they should be, idk

@patchuun @vantiss yeah and to be fair I did go through some shit as a youth. Alas for the most part besides being incredibly bitter about it most of the negative aspects of it have left me. Although not fully.

@monkey @vantiss also there's not really anything in here about guilt or fawning. I do think I've gotten a lot better about both of these, especially the latter, but if they were discrete measures in this test they'd probably be among my highest

@vantiss this was a bit weird for us cause it asks about "the stressful experience" and it's not really that we had a single very traumatic experience. more just an accumulation of smaller things over decades. not sure how accurate our answers actually are.

@elexia
I just treated it as "all of the experiences, together, any and all of them"

@vantiss we've actually gotten a lot better with regards to negative self-concept, though that was never our worst issue. we mostly stopped blaming ourselves for our issues. maybe should have actually answered one question slightly differently and that would have scored us even lower.

but yeah, always on edge, anxious, tense. stressful dreams are common, though not necessarily about anything we experienced. just like, violence, stressful situations, often unrealistic ones.
severe difficulty with trusting people and emotional closeness.

@itsmaya @monkey @vantiss I mean, like, trust people with what? There's a handful of people I'd trust with my immortal soul and many many people I wouldn't trust with my life, there's people I'd trust with my laptop and people I wouldn't. I'm probably just getting lost in the weeds here

@patchuun @monkey @vantiss There's definitely some "the questions are too damn vague" in there, but I'm more semi-facetiously observing the uhhh neurotypical bias of some of it. Where "healthy" gets conflated with "useful for the ruling class".

Like I have an "outsized negative reaction to manipulative advertisements", this is a healthy as fuck adaptive reaction that I will defend to the death, but I'm pretty sure 99/100 therapists would try to "fix" it.

@patchuun @monkey @vantiss with a side order of "wryly noting that I over-indexed on this even before I was traumatized".

@itsmaya @monkey @vantiss oh yeah I feel pretty negatively even about relatively non-manipulative advertisements lol, death to capital etc. etc.

@vantiss I think it was short somehow, IDK what the meta-scoring system is so who knows why.

@vantiss I'm pretty sure I recall going over a more comprehensive evaluation for this at some point and the result was "yes definitely see a therapist about this", which I am so...

@itsmaya @vantiss huh, is this thing like, actually accurate? Cause I know a lot of random online stuff like this is kinda garbage

That being said I scored pretty high too so if it is at all trustworthy I l am considering bringing it up with my therapist next session πŸ’€

@hazelnot @vantiss comparing it to past evaluations I've had I think the questions are about right my only question is the size and scoring.

Investigating further with a discussion with your therapist about it seems reasonable.
