My score keeps increasing!

My score was 174 and now it's 191. What the heck is my problem!? I thought I did well till I saw my score, 13 serious problems! Crappy.

well, mine was about 185

At least I'm in good company. Thanks for sharing that!

Yeah, I felt somewhat normal with a score of 132 (daytime) and 146 (nighttime), but then I had a couple friends take the test and they scored in the 20's -_-

That makes me feel really crazy.

That 132 make me feel like a nut! I'm afraid to take another test. At this rate I'll really go over the edge, lol.

lol my score is actually worse, or should be. I just got out of a four year relationship which ended terribly, but since I have to check "not in a relationship" my score ends up a lot lower than it should be. Also, I don't drink, gamble, smoke, or do any drugs, so I have 0s in those categories. I think I might be a mess, haha. I mean, my friends got in the 20's THE TWENTIES??!!!?!?! WTF lol

lol My score is 100 and I so know what you mean! I can totally relate to the relationship stuff and the other stuff.

Just because your score increases doesn't mean you have a problem. It just means there are more factors in your life that could be increasing your stress levels. Ultimately, if you feel fine and are doing well, your score won't really matter. My score jumps all over the place (Generally within a 20 point range) My mood seems to affect my over all score. Don't worry about "going over the edge." You have managed so far with all the stress indicators. I know you can pull through

I think I'll take a break from checking my sanity score till I feel less insane! Lol. At least that will give me a fighting chance. I don't smoke or gamble don't drink to much anymore. I like to smoke pot it relaxes me, my pdoc wouldn't agree. But what he doesn't know won't hurt him!

Thanks pink mist,
It's good to hear someone say I'm not nuttin out! Sometimes I wonder. Do you ever feel that way too.?

nah, don't think too much of your friend's scores... if it's that low I'd be questioning whether or not they were actually honest when taking that test (intentionally or unintentionally so). lol

Bohogypsy, do you ever take the test? I had a 194 last time thought I should check for a pulse! Lol. Thanks for the post.

Hey,

Yes I did. I scored 43, but I still have stuff (plus triggers). A lot less than I used to anyways. For example, the other day I had an anxiety attack over my uni-essay and have been feeling a bit nauseous. Vomited and dry heaved a few times actually. Perfectionism issues that causes me to lose my focus on work I know I could easily do if I could push through the anxiety and brain-fog.

How does it get any better than that? just keep reminding yourself of that instead of beating yourself up about stuff experienced, that's what I do anyway. I keep carrying on and try to focus on strengths

Ok great score but yes some bothersome triggers I see. I've been under some major stress lately. Maybe when it calms down my score will chill a little.
Sorry about the vomit and especially the dry heaves those hurt all over! U rock. I used to think I was perfect or tried to the point I believed it, I thought everything I did was life or death. Now I can look back and see how it would have been better if I had eased up on myself and everyone else. I was tough on everyone.

Yup, bothersome but I went to see my GP yesterday and got her to give me something for nausea. What I experience is called nervous stomach anxiety http://www.buzzle.com/articles/nervo...h-anxiety.html

Thanks! you're awesome too and it's great that you've been able to ease up

Sometimes I do. I think everyone thinks they are "nunttin out." It all depends on how much stress you are undergoing and how well you can handle it.

Yes I see how thar could be. I am very stressed right now.

Sometimes I wonder whether or not the Sanity Score is reliable... I mean it seems pretty simplistic and broad. And with questions using words like "often" how are you supposed to give an accurate answer with the answers provided. Yeah I sometimes often think I'm a failure. lol whut?

Still, when my friends comment that I've been neurotic and depressed lately and score in the 20's and I score in the 130-145 range that must mean something's up.

I guess that's what psychologists are for. To get the details and flesh out the questions. I'm going to try and go to a free mental health clinic this week, but I don't have any proof of income, as I'm a student and am still looking for a job. If I can go, it will be my first time seeing a psychologist.

Good luck to you renner. I know my docs are a big help to me. So are all the members here at PC.
