Well this feels pretty ******, now I know I'm insane. Don't know why I took the test in the first place cause that's all it was going to tell me. Sorry for my negative attitude... guess I'm still feeling kinda down.

Not insane...probably dealing with depression and anxiety.

I am diagnosed with major depressive disorder and anxiety, and when I say I am crazy, my friends say, "you're not crazy, you have spells!" And then I demand a wand and a tiara. I got a 136 this afternoon - if I'd taken it last night I probably would have been about the same as you!

It seems like a pretty decent test when coupled with the FAQ and some of the content in these forums. Somewhat irresponsible, perhaps, to call it a "sanity score" because that does sound like a judgment, which is detrimental to an already depressed person! But I think the intent is good, and hope you use the information to find ways to help yourself rather than beat yourself up. I've found from dealing with depression for over 20 years now that the best help comes from yourself, and from allowing someone in, to listen and understand you, not "fix" you.

Best wishes...
jen.
