That is all to true. If you ask about it you are immediately lumped into a group of people you don't belong in. Most people don't understand that the 1-10 scale is not quite right. It should go up to 12. 11 is the place where you start hearing the high pitched keening sound. It's you, screaming in your mind. At 12 the sound actually comes out of your mouth right before passing out.... anyway just a personal observation. If you are at your limit, what ever it may be, tell your provider. Tell him/her you can't function like this anymore. Ask for a referral to Dr. Kevorkian if they won't pay attention.
