I didn't get very far with it. There were questions about taking care of one's children and relationship with one's partner on the first page. I don't have children or a partner and there was no NOT APPLICABLE button, so I didn't continue with the quiz.

I take care of my children at home NOT AT ALL, but that doesn't mean I'm a bad mother. I just don't have any children to take care of. LOL. There's no way to indicate that information on the quiz.

I decided that I tend to give up too easily, so I went back and finished the quiz this time. I got 56. Apparently, I have a problem with smoking. Who knew? well...... I'm surprised by how low my depression score is and I'm surprised that I scored higher on obsessions/compulsions than anxiety.

I scored 71. ??? I seem to have serious self esteem issues. It recommends that I see a psychologist. I don't have one now. I don't want to have one. They always leave. I'm not kidding. Whenever I get a counsler, after a few months or about a year, they have to leave for some reason or other. It's happened to me about 4 times already. I'm over it. Grrrr.
Has anyone tried online therapy? Was it helpful? Was it expensive? How much? Is it cheaper than live people therapy?

I'm wondering the same thing. I got a 21 on borderline traits. It didn't come up as one of the minor concerns, though. I think our scores are pretty low.

There's an article on the home page that lists personality disorders and it explains it there.
Yeah, I can see myself in that. Hmmm. This is very interesting.

Schitzophrania? No way! I may get a little paranoid every once in awhile about people not liking me-does that make me schitzophranic? Or do you think it was from another question I answered?

Based upon your answers, you appear to be in generally good mental health, with some specific concerns or issues in your life. Most people have such issues to varying degrees -- some seek outside help for them from a mental health professional like a psychologist, psychiatrist or psychotherapist, while others are happy with the way things are in their life. People with similar scores sometimes feel overwhelmed by the occasional stress in life, but usually recover and are fairly resilient.

Your specific subscores are below. Under the graph of subscores, you will find additional information regarding the meaning of any significant scores or areas that may be of concern.

I had the same questions in my mind when answering questions that didn't pertain to me. I don't have kids and I don't have a partner. I just answered "not at all" to those questions concerning them since it was the closest to the truth.

Dissociation? Ah never heard of it before, but seems to suit me good.

I think I need more help than I thought, I'm going to show my doctor this. I guess my medications aren't working. That really sucks.

I just don't understand how I can still have problems when I've been on meds for years. I thought i was doing good, or ok I guess. Is medication just a joke?
