Your Sanity Score
18
Based upon your answers, you appear to be in good mental health. Congratulations! You may experience specific mental health concerns, relationship issues, or other issues that come up from time to time in your life, but your overall mental health score suggests that you deal with these well. People with similar scores are more resilient than most people, handle stress appropriately, have good relationships with others, and are able to cope with the in's and out's of everyday life with grace and ease.

Well, I suppose it is not zero but getting close! LOL!
All that Zen work is paying off :-)

Hugs to all!! Wen

Wow! I didn't think that was possible. You must be doing something right.

Hopeful, lol :-) Well, it was not that long ago mine would have been in the 100's or higher (thankfully I have never touched drugs so that has helped greatly). But when I consider that I am a survivor of severe childhood sexual abuse (from age 2 1/2 - 10) and was labled with borderline personality disorder when I was 26 (11 yrs ago) , well I answered this test honesty and I was surprised by the score.

I love this site because it helps so many people out who are going through so much. I've learned that I can never know what anyone else is going through because each person is unique. But I still desire deeply to be there for others as I am able to be without it being a poison to my own health.

For me, my sanity turn around has taken years of therapy, which I have not been to now in 7 yrs. And I own my sanity to both my own very hard work and to my T who is a wonderful human. Also to my experience of Zen, which has allowed me to see outside of myself while seeing my true nature and center in honesty.

I posted my score because I hope that others will see that sanity is not just a pie in the sky dream. I know for myself the anguish of a tortured mind. I was told by some people that I would never be normal. Now I have others come to me asking "Are you really as happy as you appear?" and my honest answer is "Yes."

Not all days are perfect. I don't always remember to do what I need to do to keep my mind free from the poison of stress, anger, guilt, and resentment. But I am finding that by just living each day with awareness of the truth of who I am, the past that has formed my road, the strength I have been given by nature, and the hands of so many friends who are waiting around each corner - many who are strangers, well sanity is a welcome change of scenery.

That's amazing! I don't think I'll ever be sane enough for an 18. Let's put it this way: I'm barely in high school and I scored 114. Now I feel like I'm really crazy.
