> she keeps asking me over and over are you angry? and i say no. She must ask if i am angry at least 3 times a visit .. and i keep giving her the same answer ... what is the deal??? Does she want me to be angry or what?
she is probably trying to assess whether you are able to express anger / annoyance / irritation or whether you numb out / push it away. if you feel annoyed when she keeps asking you if you are angry then you could tell her so. took me months before i found the courage to say 'i'm getting annoyed with your asking me that all the time!' then we had a discussion about why it was so hard for me to feel anger and how i felt about feeling angry (ashamed mostly).
> Just getting tired of that question.
numbness... not even a little bit of irratibility / anger in there somewhere?????
> i am not depressed at all
what do you take depression to be? feeling sad? do you think you aren't depressed because you feel numb rather than sad?
what do you think anxiety is about? fear? do you feel that?
> Could anyone help me understanding why i would have very negative depression results but not depressed?
probably because you think depression means something a bit different from what the test takes depression to mean. anxiety and depression are significantly correlated. it wouldn't be unusual for someone with one to have the other...
