YOU TAKE YOUR HUG AND YOU SHOVE IT2fish said:It made some sense but there is a ton of emotion mixed in there, hard to read that on the internet. So just in case I am going to have to take the saftey off.
I do agree that these tests are very easy to mis use and end up an an extreme end. Also if i mis read your post please correct me after you get some rest, rest is more important than correcting someone on the internet.
We need to find a set of these tests and see if they line up
Nah, seriously, just kidding. Yeah, I think you got it down.
I also meant to mention how even if you didn't get a full score, you were apparently suicidal and needed help. And if you weren't suicidal, you were depressed and teetering on the edge.
Maybe this is just me being all fucking archaic, but "depressed" is supposed to be a pretty heavy word. It's not another way to say "a little bit sad". It is a serious term with serious consequences.
It's lost all gravity being tossed around by melodramatic teenagers, but when there is a test like this it kind of picks all that weight up again. We're trying to see who's GENUINE depressed, here. Not just disappointed mummy didn't get you that pair of shoes you love so much.
There was a point I was trying to get to but halfway through typing this my brain apparently decided to revolt by running itself through.
So I guess take all this as you will. I'm off to cradle my head and whimper in the corner.
52, so that makes me extremely depressed, apparently. "You are having suicidal thoughts, consult a doctor immediately."
Bullshit. I'm a depressed person, but that's because I'm an adolescent with a modicum of intelligence. It's practically prerogative.
It's not exactly a subtle test, either. Anyone edging on minor depression with a flair for dramatics is going to hit the extreme answer to everything on that list.
You need questions that people can answer without giving what they think is the most effective answer for convincing themselves of depression.
...I think that makes sense.

I got 5 and the only reason I even got that was due to my moderate to severe diagnosed insomnia which was theorized to be a melitonin deficiency. In short I'm not depressed, which is great since I'm going into psychology, can't really help a patient when you're becoming a basketcase yourself
Oh god I hate that.Wardnath said:
All time worst in my opinion though is 'buck up'.
