The Depression test.

[Xskills]

27. I hide it with stoicism and cynicism. I medicate myself with prescriptions (which I think need to be upped now), going to a shooting range at least once a week, Call of Duty (Paul Thurott is right, it is like crack), fast food and oversleeping. I guess most of it comes from my perspective on things from my autistic spectrum disorder (formerly known as Asperger's Syndrome) and post-traumatic stress from College where I wrote essay back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

An 8 huh? Well that's good. See Mom! Just because I'm 19 and sarcastically pesimistic doesn't mean I'm depressed! I actually kind of figured I would get a higher score. Whatever, am I really supposed to complain about not being depressed?

I got a 46, moderate to severe depression, but I'm not gonna "seek help"

 

[Lonan]

I got level 81, and I'm supposed to seek help immediately. I did that about a year ago, hopefully I can get help in 2011. Go Alberta Health Care System. Show me what you can do.

64! I win at depression.
Thanks Doctor Goldberg! Now I can put a number to the severe crippling depression I already knew I had.
How depressed am I? I'm 64 depressed.

I got 64 too.

i got 77

I got 81, we should all brood together...

No I'm not like that- I swear I'm the only "depressed" person I know (in my local area) who isn't emo or a drug addict, it's freaking me out!

so I didn't see did anyone get anything higher then my 81?
or lower then that one dudes 8?

I got an 81 too. Let's be depressed together. My life is a swirling vortex of depression.

i got a 50,

which i suppose is kinda bad, but my little escapes from reality such as books and music and games help me through.

now i sound like such a sad case.

81. Not surprising considering my mood has been unstable recently. Ehhhh.. part of life. Besides, i don't exactly have suicidal intention. Silly stress from finals causing symptom flare ups.

Probably by next week it will swing to the reverse and i'd probably score a 1. The joys of mood disorders

18, on the verge, largely due to my insomnia and the resulting tiredness. Definitely an improvement over what I probably would've gotten this time last year.

53, moderate to severe depression. Damn, just missed the bar for severe depression... Really guys, this test isn't telling anyone anything new.

You have the symptoms of depression. These symptoms seem to cause a considerable amount of problems in your everyday life, and it would be advisable to consult a doctor.

Neat.. I uhh.. I don't know how I should react.

I got 33. I wouldn't say I'm depressed. I can laugh easily enough and I don't linger on negative things (Which lately, instead of one or two occurences, seem to have a habit of raining down in front of me like a bloody monsoon).

I just wish I could sleep more consistently. It's either I sleep for 6 - 8 hours and feel tired or I sleep for 12+ hours and then as a consequence go to sleep later and later until I'm waking up in the evening and going to sleep when the sun rises.

But to be honest,

Got a 77, not unexpected. I mean I do have on my counselor's files 1 suicide attempt and I still think about it from time to time. Nothing to worry about though since I'm christian and know suicide would automatically send me to Hell (this is a benefit of religion).

In other words, you would kill yourself if not for the threat of punishment?

Maybe, I'm not sure if I could. I mean I had a loaded gun to my head once but a friend has since told me I could screw it up and end up paralyzed.

37! Last year I hit 60+ so I'm getting better.

The main problem is most of my friends moved away, so I've got nobody to do stuff with, just get stuck inside all the time. And I can't make new friends because I don't leave the house :S Vicious cycle.

That and I have severe insomnia, it blows.

Your friend is probably right, though you'd have to botch it pretty bad for that to happen.

54, wow
and to tell you the truth, this stuff doesn't help me feel any better.

You know, Im in college right now, Im the first person in my family to go to college before serving in the military. My fathers military disability is what is keeping me here and no matter what I do, or how hard I try, I always fuck it up at the last second. I dont think I was cut out for college or maybe I just wasn't ready for it but I dont know what else I could have done.

Well the gun was a .22 and I've heard those can bounce around in the skull thus pretty much ensuring I end up dead. Then again the barrel was in my ear so I worry if at that close a range it could've gone all the way through and done less damage.
