22, but it’s no surprise. I’ve already been diagnosed and am on medication for it. It’s just that wintertime is worse for me, especially the long, grey days here in Seattle. Basically, I’m depressed (moderately to seriously)from September through April. Spring and summer are better.
Woo! I got a 60 too!
Well, okay… actually i got a 12. That’s probably actually higher than it would normally be. This has been a bad week for me.
47, Eve…oy. 
51
Now where’s that therapist’s number… I’ve lost it twice hmmm?
oh and I answered truthfully:(
Pssst… I used to have 49 out of 54… now doesnt that make me proud?
I just took it too though… 4 points.
Does that mean I am no longer mental?
dodgy
(again)
On Dodgy’s test I’m a 32. Sounds like I’d better talk to the DR. about upping/changing the meds!
The damn thing told me to kill myself now before I drag anyone down with me!
[sub]That’s a lie. My score was 34.[/sub]
On Dodgy’s test I scored a 43
On the OP’s test, I scored a 36.
Interesting.
67 on dodgy’s test.
now if there were just a way so that the life insurance wouldn’t get denied…
Hey I got a 12. and I thought I was a loon or something!
it is pretty acurat usually…
Damn—I am no longer the Queen of the Blues!
I just read the wonderful new bio of Patrick Dennis by Eric Myers (rush out and get it!). I am amazed to read that Patrick Dennis was put in an asylum because “he professed emptiness and boredom, a complete weariness with life. All he longed for, he insisted, was the oblivion offered by death.” They commit you for that!? I thought that was everyone’s normal mental state!
I got a 9. I wonder if the zip code, race and gender questions impact on this final number. I mean, residents of NYC are obviously less depressed than others… :rolleyes: And yet somehow, I’m still such a sucker for these tests! Must be all that multiple-choice…
[homer]
sweet, sweet oblivion…
[/homer]
Damn! I got a 25 and need to seek professional help. I didn’t think I was that bad off.
51
Now where’s that therapist’s number… I’ve lost it twice hmmm?
oh and I answered truthfully:(
My sentiments exactly. I thought that my feelings were normal, but apparently I need to immediately seek some kind of professional help. According to this test and to Dodgy’s. Oh well.
It’s really just the loneliness ya know. I’ve been thinking of the “alternative” a lot lately too, but that’s neither here nor there.
??? Where’d that come from?
I am so shocked! :rolleyes:
On Simetra’s test, I scored 32, “The likelihood that you have major or clinical depression is high.”
On BornDodgy’s test, I scored 52, just two points below “severely depressed.”
None of this is a surprise. I’m a Paxil addict, I’m in counseling, I am severely disabled and getting worse all the time, I have sexual problems, I dreamed of being an artist but I’m stuck in a go-no-where secretarial job which I’ll probably be too disabled to do someday soon, we’re broke, my dad is dead, and my dog isn’t the sort that likes to cuddle. I keep telling myself that every day spent above the ground is a good day, that I still have it better than the starving children in Somalia or the political prisoners in China, blah blah blah, but some days I just hate my life.
