The test said I had three serious concerns, being:

Phobias 83
Obsessions/Compulsions 56
Posttraumatic Stress 58

My fear was that I was already in therapy and while it helped me be a stronger person (I had a problem with telling people no and being taken advantage of by my "friends"), it was doing nothing for my phobias and other issues. Sometimes I think therapy might have made it worse...I really hated talking about them, I felt like therapy was all "Your fears are stupid and you should get over them" versus "This is why your feeling this way, let me give you some tips to help you" or something...I'm no doctor, but I just felt put down and like I was being annoying and that my fears are irrational (DUH! That's why I was trying to get over them!)...therapy only lasted 6 months before our mental health clinic got shut down, and there's no therapists for me to see until we move next month...and I'm scared to go back because it wasn't working.
