    Maybe a close equivalent for this would be the Beaufort scale.

    The lid def can’t be moved by a Bft 1 or 2 wind, would probably guess at the very least a 4 or 5.

    Lid flipped open - 4 to 5
    Tipped over - 6 to 7
    In the neighbour’s garden - 8 to 9
    Down the street - 10 to 11
    I’ve lost my rubbish bin - 12 and beyond

      Maybe lid flipped open at the moment or tipped over if this is the scale I get evaluated on everytime I go to the doctor. I ise to be down the street, took m3dicine for years saw no improvement. Changed medication saw minor improvement for a short while. Decided to just stop and force myself to do the things I need to get done and it finally improved.

      This is not an advocation. To stop medicating. It’s extremely important to follow doctors direction even though I didn’t. Sleep was rough when I stopped for a few months but eventually wverything evened out. But I weaned myself, I didnt stop outright.

      Another thing is your body is always changing so what might work two years ago, might not work the same today. I only did it the way I did it because I couldn’t afford my copays.

      What helped me is having a good partner, I know not everyone has that.
