I'm posting the link to my results so you can see for yourself what I got. This doesn't bother me, just in case you were wondering--it's online, so I consider the info here pretty much public (my score was 103, FYI).

What bothers me most about the results is the depression thing. I took the depression quiz on PsychCentral and got the same results--but the strange thing is, I can be very very happy. I know I'm not supposed to take any of these quizzes as diagnoses, but something about that rings true, at least in part.

I dunno... I guess I'm just getting really really tired of feeling messed up, even to the little degree that I am. I know so many of you are dealing with issues that make mine look like diddly squat (hehe, I love that phrase) but I just... HATE this. I WANT help, but I don't know if it's what I need. >.< I actually managed to find the courage to send one of the therapists listed on the site an e-mail, which for me is kinda nuts. Now I just have to figure out when to tell my parents (again) that I'd like to talk to somebody.

I DO think the test is highly insightful, though. It's a nice bundling together of all the stuff you'd want to know, although the PTSD score is totally innacurate--that's not an issue of mine and never has been. I find it strange that I almost WANTED there to be more stuff on there, or a higher score on certain things, as if that would validate my seeking help.

here's to hoping,
