I took the Sanity Score and found that I have some major issues with things I didn't realize - like OCD and PTSD. I already knew that I have bipolar disorder, but these others were an eye-opener.

I didn't just rely on the test, though. I told my sister about my score and she agreed with the diagnosis. I wish she had told me that I showed symptoms of these things earlier.

The test can miss some major problem areas, however. After being sexually molested as a child (starting at age six and lasting eight more years), I have severe problems with the genitals of both sexes and can't achieve arousal without pain. The test indicated that sexual relationships are a minor concern.

I scored 168 and had 12 areas of major concern, 4 minor. I have a psychiatrist, whom I will be seeing in ten days. I plan on sharing my test results with him.

I was in weekly therapy sessions up until my counselor left two months ago. I'm waiting on a new one. I feel as though I am losing my mind and am taking steps to keep my sanity. I have joined two online groups that have audio/type meetings, started the forums here, taken the quiz and found the self-help book talked about on this forum. I figure if I concentrate on those things, I will find new coping mechanisms to get me through.

Thanks for having the test available.
