I guage my depression level based on the PHQ-9 score. I'm moderately severe as oppressed to severe.

Phq-9 is pretty reliable and there are lots of online versions where they score your answers without submitting anything to the server so your answers and score are completely private.

Though I still don't have motivation and negative thoughts continue. But the good news is that I'm taking better care of myself.

So a mix of good and not so good but I'll take any good I can get at this point.
Slowly but surely, Scooter, slowly but surely...
