Ok...89 isn't that bad.. Says I have 4 serious issues tho.. Phobias, Anxiety, self-esteem and depression...

Wonder if taking the sanity score changes should one take it once a month? If I remember, I might just do that to see if things change...

But then I guess phobias and anxiety just don't vanish out of the blue..

I don't want to push the submit button...

ooo wow.. I just read this... explaining the scores...

Scores less than 100 don't mean anything in particular -- just that you're a pretty healthyjust that you don't have any serious mental health issues in your life at present., normal individual with some issues from time to time.

Higher/lower numbers don't mean anything except in relationship to the average score of 100. Lower than 100 doesn't mean you're "more" sane,

Wow looks like I am ok afterall....

I wouldn't take those scores seriously. They cannot "diagnose" you. You can be seriously ill, and still score way below 100. So don't believe them. Those scores all depend on how you're feeliing on a particular day -- not in general.

You obviously need a therapist, and I'd certainly see one!!! Don't figure that you're "okay" just because you took a stupid test! Make an appointment with a therapist, unless you already have one.

I wish you the very best Radio Flyer -- and please let us know how you come out, will you? You're important to us. God bless & PLEASE take care. Hugs, Lee

Guess I should respond, yet I don't know what to say..I agree a test/quiz can't diagnose one..but it might give a general outlook on one's wellbeing. Grant it, I might have "issues".. I just don't think I would benefit from therapy. Actually, I did therapy for 5 years and was told when I had a panic attack on the beltway, that I should stop to the side of the road and run around the car.. AJ, when a young teen, kicked a hole in his bedroom door and it was all splintery and one could get hurt, so I took the door down, and the T told me to replace the door, because AJ needed his privacy...I felt AJ needed to "earn" that door back because he destroyed it. Earn it by doing chores... BUT no, the T felt all that was needed was for me to replace the door.. shrugs shoulders

The T told me we could not have sex together, which floored me, because one of the issues I had was I did not want to be touched in a sexual manner and he said that to me.. like duhhhhhhhh .. Never even once did I even have a thought of having sex with him. yuk .Gave me the creeps when he said that...

SO just a few things I remembered when in therapy.. I just feel searching online for help is better for me than a real life T. Besides it free.. I don't need to pay someone to listen to my woes...

I've grown more from the "internet" and PC than I did when in therapy.... Atleast there is input, things to think about on how to improve and move forward..I like that. I like variety of opinions so I can see all sides and find one that is helpful to me....

Ok, so yes, maybe I didn't have the best therapist and there are many good ones, maybe more good ones, than not so good ones... I just don't have the money now.. ...
