scored 76 and my trust level is zero

just took the quiz, results said I was severely depressed,, but I feel if I was to call anyone they would just send the white jackets and padded van.

I have been %#@&#! on so many times already why would I trust anyone to seriously give a damn now?

Trust is a very difficult thing to master and I may never accomplish it. But I keep trying! Depression is a horrible thick fog that clouds every ounce of our existence. I have that too.

Every one here at PC is very concerned and wants to support you. Please keep reaching out and asking questions. You'll find a lot help here.

I guess I shared the wrong score there, my sanity score is 161 severely depressed. I dont trust to call any hotline knowing they will trace my number and send cops to haul me away wand steal everything I have left from me.
I have been screwed over by the workers comp system,screwed over by the drs they hire, screwed over by the overwhelming bias against a single middle aged white man today,, cant even get food stamps because 2 vehicles are in my name, never mind they are both 20 or more years old and have 160K and 230K or more. I havent had an income in over a year and survive, endure only by selling off possessions I worked my entire life to acquire. I endure tremendous pain from 3 buldged discs in my neck that the workers comp system now denies. I even went to a free clinic for help and got a bill for $375 for a fifteen minute appointment because I am white and not a brown female with 15 screaming kids but a single white man. My day begins and ends in pain, I wake up in pain,, about 5 am and am in pain all day and havent "gone to bed" in two years,, I pass out from exhaustion about 2-3 AM instead. two years now and no relief, none. Everywhere I go there are more roadblocks and denial of what is going on. I am running out of stuff to sell to buy groceries and pay to even keep my lights on. I go to buy groceries once every two weeks and the prices are climbing and climbing, the struggle seems worthless and insurmountable. what possible reason could there be to continue?

lost,and trampled by the gov.

Frankly, I don't think this test is more than a screening tool. Unless a person has traits associated with psychosis, I would be more concerned about how YOU feel about how you're functioning in life, than I would be with the test results. If you have had several bad experiences that lead you to mistrust others, consider whether they seemed to come "out of the blue," or whether you played some role in putting yourself in a risky situation. (Note: There are lots of people who will always blame you, no matter what the circumstances. Don't associate with those people.) An example of an unforeseeable event would be getting in a car accident that you didn't cause, having one or more people who happened to be there promise to be witnesses in your favor, and then having them all renege on their promise. Hey, that would do it for most people, eh? I mean, you have to consider your life experiences, and how strongly they affected you. Maybe you were deeply shaken because your initial trust of others was unrealistically great. I mean, there are a lot of possibilities here. Which ones apply? You know, it is YOUR call. On the other hand, to get back to my first point -- symptoms of psychosis should not be ignored, and probably can't be handled without psychiatric help. These are of a different order than anxiety, depression, mistrust based on overgeneralizing a series of truly bad experiences that would get most people down, and so on. I think Discover magazine just had an article about that -- about treating these as soon as they manifest. But from what you say, it doesn't sound like that is your problem.

I am so sorry. I misunderstood your latest post. I posted again, with detailed advice, and the forum declined my post. God, if you do feel beseiged, I don't know what to say. It was a good post.
