I have taken the Depression Screening Quiz and I did not want to believe the results because in my "thinking" I did not "feel" depressed. Even tho I have taken the quiz many times and scoring "high", I did not want to "believe" the results.

So I asked what does depression feel like. Rather than seeing a score/result from a depression quiz, I could get an insight as to how depression feels. Guess it is harder to be in denial when one can relate to others that are feeling the same way. A quiz score, for me, can be tossed aside, maybe I just had a bad day when I took the quiz, or maybe I was tired or hungry and I wasn't accurate with my answers.

I think, for me, it is "validation" that what I am feeling is "real" because other folks feel the same, it must not just "be all in my head", there is some "validity to how I feel.

Anyway, thanks for the mentioning the link for the "depression screening". Looks like I've already been there many times..
