how depresed are you

[Elie]

I got a score of 4 looks like I'm pretty normal here

[Sasq]

13 and ditto what Helivita said.

[Jon P. Inghram]

Thinking about it some more, I can't really remember ever being depressed. Sick and tired of life, yes... frustrated and angry, yes... disapointed at everything in general, yes... but not depressed... weird.

[KvHagedorn]

I think it is quite normal to be depressed if you are:

Alone
Unloved
Poor
Getting older
Suffering any ailments
More aware than others of the awful state of the world..

If these things are really there, then you are just insane to be jolly hoho Santa..

..but when these things control you, invade the inner peace of your soul.. then it is clinical depression, and must be dealt with as such.

[Jon P. Inghram]

Getting older

Who doesn't that apply to?

[KvHagedorn]

Well, if I was 14 I would not worry about getting older.. it would just mean more and not less.. in the short run, at least.

[UtwigMU]

I've been feeling very great lately, so 3 . There were periods of down before.

[Guru]

12

[Fat Tone]

I got 15, but I think mainly because there weren't any positive options and the scale was too coarse.

Now if you guys want to look at positive things, take a look at my www.personalitystrengths.com site. It is much improved since it was first launched. Please also tell all your friends about it.

No apologies for self-pimpage.

I got a 12 today but I might be able to score a thirty tomorrow, I fluctuate between miserable and level.

[SitFlyer]

Life is good. My score was ZERO

[VJ]

How depressed are you?

Do you mean before or after the test?

If you believe in this way of getting depressed, so be it. It's a load of dangerous codswallop or bullcrap. Dangerous because it could tip the balance to deeper depression if somebody doing it was really depressed. That having been said, I got 4. And I don't get depressed because I'm older: yes, I may not be able to sprint 100 m in less than 10 seconds (or 20!), but who the hell cares? I certainly don't. Getting older also has its compensations, you know.

Nice reply Brian

If you think your depressed, you'll become more depressed.
If you think you're life sucks, It will.
......
The mind is a very powerful thing.
If you think you life is...... it will be.
If you dwell on bad.... it shall be that way.
If you dwell on good... This is a hard one for the dreary.

Bottom line - You are what you think you are.

Don't worry... be happy (damn I hate that song), worked for turning my life around.

A lot of people get down over things 'out of their control'.

ah... if only things where that simple

Don't worry... be happy (damn I hate that song), worked for turning my life around.
