After seeing this Mental Health Pain Scale a while ago, I realized that it doesn't really work well for people whose mental wellness changes frequently (ex: people with BPD or C-PTSD, addicts), and very extremely. So, I made some tweaks for myself, and hopefully it can help others:

Here's a version with a table :) Emotional Distress Scale

0 - I feel great! This is the best I’ve felt in a long time!

1 - I’m feeling really good! There’s no distress to address.

2 - I’m feeling good. If I start feeling bothered, I can be easily distracted or cheered up.

3 - I’m okay, but there are some things bothering me. I can easily cope with them, though.

4 - I could be better. There are a few things distressing me right now. It’s not exactly easy to deal with, but I still have the skills to get through it.

5 - I’m not okay. It’s getting harder to do the things I want to do, but I can do them. My coping skills aren’t working as well anymore, but enough of them work to get me through the day. I need some support.

6 - I’m feeling bad, and it’s very hard to do the things I need or want to do. Most of my coping skills aren’t effective right now, and it’s taking a lot of energy to stay stable. I need help.

7 - I’m feeling awful. It’s hard to focus on anything but my emotions, and/or I’m avoiding things that distress me. I can’t do much but try to take care of myself, which is already hard in itself. I’m running low on, or have run out of, effective coping skills. I need a lot of help right now.

8 - I’m feeling awful, and I can’t escape it anymore. How I feel is affecting every part of my day, and I’m reaching the point where I can’t function. It’s hard to sleep, eat, socialize, etc. I need help before I can’t handle anything.

9 - This is approaching the worst I could feel. I can’t function anymore. My emotions have totally consumed me. I may be a danger to myself or others, or I may be neglecting myself. I need urgent help.

10 - This is the worst I’ve felt ever/since [last time]. I can’t care for myself at all. My emotions are so intense, I’m at imminent risk of dangerously acting on them. I need crisis support immediately.

11 - I have acted on my emotions and hurt myself or someone else. Everything else in my life is impossible to comprehend. I need medical care and/or crisis support immediately.

Note that this doesn't really work well if your positive states end up being unhealthy (ex: mania, idealization, etc.), so it's geared towards negative emotions. This is also meant to be about how you feel NOW. The other scale works best for viewing your overall state.

Having constant mood shifts is like being on a rollercoaster ride that does not stop for emergencies... and crying is not an emergency.

ive been largely medicated for so long, i don't know what normal is for me anymore...

for the last 2 years, ive been on large doses of multiple meds at a time. trying mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, anti-anxiety, antidepressants, usually multiple different ones at the same time.

i dont know what parts of myself are me, and which are side effects of medications.

before my brain started attacking itself, did i have a stutter? did i have such a hard time communicating my thoughts? were my lips always this chapped? was i always this tired? did i drop things as much as i do now? was i more interested in relationships? more invested in friendships?

i know we all change, but meds changing the way you talk, walk, act, live - it isn't talked about as much as it should be. i used to be really smart, you know? i used to have amazing ideas, and complex, intricate thoughts. and i never had issues communicating these. i used to be passionate about my future, determined, and driven.

i just feel like ive lost so much of myself to my mental illness. and ive lost what scraps were left to my medications.

"Oh, well."

"But you were so passionate about it!"

"Bruh, I'm passionate about everything. I lack emotional regulation. I got passionate about a fucking burrito yesterday."

[Photo Id: A spin to win wheel with fourteen slots. The slots read "sensory overload". "too tired for life", "no eat only hunger", "brain fog", "gender dysphoria", "memory issues", "obsessive thoughts", "nonverbal", "med side effects", "digestive problems", "mood swings" with a smile and sad emoji, "dissociate for sixteen hours", "am i real?", and "irritability". Above the wheel there is text saying "What is the issue today?" end Id]

saw someone else's version of this and decided to make my own
