i done this test which i know theres loads and it probably is the answer everyone else has but i can relate to 95% of this
On the overall affectedness scale you are probably anxious and or depressed much of the time. More than likely it is hard for you to enjoy life on any consistent level. You are always second-guessing yourself and the world around you. You are over thinking and obsessing and you hardly ever experience peace of mind. You’re often fearful, worrisome, and unhappy. You don’t like being this way but you don’t know what to do to change. Things are too much work and no one understands the way you feel. You go from worry to depression, to worry again, wearing yourself out with your thoughts and what if thinking. You probably hate yourself much of the time for being so miserable to be around and yet you can’t seem to find comfort when you’re alone. Nothing makes you feel safe or happy, and life is just one big struggle. Please, get help. You can be happy and confident again. You just need a clear plan of action and the right tools.
You find yourself feeling down and emotionally drained much of the time. You feel sad, worried, and tired often. You probably don’t have much energy and feel like the effort it takes to do things, such as socialize or make love to your partner, is just not worth it. You feel like there is a dark cloud hanging over your life. Nothing is working but you aren’t sure why not. You may cry often or easily. Possibly you find it hard to eat or you are over-eating. You may have a difficult time sleeping or you want to sleep all the time as a temporary escape from the way you feel. Possibly you feel that you are a drain on others, bringing them down as well. You feel that no one understands and that life is very difficult. You aren’t excited about things and nothing seems like fun anymore. You may have thoughts of suicide or find yourself thinking about death more frequently. (If this is true you should talk with your doctor or therapist). This could indicate possible clinical depression and it is suggested that you talk with your doctor about your feelings immediately. Depression is self generated to some degree but severe depression can also be a biochemical/genetic issue that needs the assistance of medication
At times you can be disappointed in yourself and others. You sometimes want people to know what you want without you having to tell them. At times, you can be someone who is hard to please. Depending on your mood and the situation, you can feel let down or disappointed with people, things or situations. You can be hard on yourself at times as well. This type of thinking can create anxiety, stress, and depression because you feel unhappy and dissatisfied with life, people and yourself at times.
Your anger can get the best of you. You often feel irritable, frustrated and downright mad. Sometimes you don’t even know why. It is not totally your fault that you are angry. Anger is passed down through generations. It is a learned behavior. You have learned to be angry by watching others. You probably overreact to things and take things very personally. Anger can be a very effective tool for creating a false sense of power. It is an addictive behavior that you have gotten comfortable expressing. Possibly you are secretly concerned about your anger and you are, at times, embarrassed or ashamed about your temper. Feelings of anger can make a person feel bad about him or herself not to mention putting a person in a consistently bad mood. Feelings of anger can create anxiety, stress, and depression and create of sense of feeling “out of control”. To take control of your anxiety and depression you must gain control of your anger
Negative attitude and negative thinking will surely affect the outcome of your daily life experience, if not your entire life. You are a negative person although you may not realize it. You tend to be skeptical, cynical, and to see the negative side of things. More than likely, you talk negatively and think negatively, and you worry and obsess about negative things. You are constantly waiting for the ball to drop, the bad thing to happen, the end result to be negative. You have a hard time believing that good things can happen and even if they do, they won’t last. This type of thinking makes it hard to feel good, or live a happy, productive life. It is also this type of thinking that actually creates anxiety and depression and keeps you “stuck” there. Negative thinking and the obsessive worrying that goes with it are what cause much of your anxiety and depression. It is absolutely imperative that you learn to change this way of thinking to take control of destructive anxiety and depression
You are someone who needs to feel in control of most areas of your life to feel comfortable. You need to control your comings and goings, how long you will be there, whom you will be with, and what will be happening. You need to feel in control to feel secure. You worry about losing control of yourself and about losing control in certain situations. Control issues can be problematic for you and fear of losing control can be a problem for people with anxiety and depression. To gain “control” of anxiety and depression one must truly understand the concept of true control and how real control, the kind that lasts a lifetime, is manifested. It is by giving up the need to control things that a true sense of control achieved.
You are an emotionally sensitive person. You can be easily hurt, easily made to feel guilty, and you often feel misunderstood. You probably take people’s opinions and comments about you too seriously. You are easily offended and don’t take criticism well. You may cry easily and you are sensitive to other people’s pain. Your emotional sensitivity creates anxiety and depression as a result of you not being able to handle your feelings. The pain is too much. It is necessary to understand why this way of thinking is so destructive and unhealthy in the healing process. To overcome problems with anxiety and depression you must learn how to be less sensitive and more sensible when dealing with your emotions
You are painfully challenged by the ongoing fear and anticipation of embarrassing yourself in front of others, being judged, criticized, or made to look foolish. You are extremely sensitive and take other people’s opinions and comments very personally. You put a great deal of your energy in worrying about situations that offer the potential for embarrassment. What if you look frightened, what if you forget what you are supposed to say, what if you make a mistake, what if you embarrass yourself? What would people think? What if you get sick in front of someone, what if you can’t find a private bathroom, what if you make a fool of yourself? Ironically you probably think you don’t care about other people’s opinions, when in fact you do. Much of your fear is based on being scrutinized or judged by others. You might put on a magnificent front of confidence and healthy self-esteem, but in reality you are constantly judging yourself. You are probably extremely uncomfortable talking in front of groups, performing in front of people, you are probably more comfortable socially when you can drink or take medications, it is likely you worry about people watching you or talking about you at times. It might be difficult for you to write, eat, or even go to the bathroom in public. Some people with this level of social anxiety even worry about sweating in front of others. Your life is a constant struggle to maintain your confident façade
You are an intense person who constantly feels on edge. You worry and anticipate about things in your life on an ongoing basis. You are often in a sensitized state. This means you are extremely sensitive to lights, sounds, and your surroundings. You probably have an anger problem and might even struggle with explosive outbursts. You feel like a car in high gear with the brakes on, you are all wound up with nowhere to go. Your mind races with a thousand reasons why you should worry. Physically you may experience intense inner nervousness, shallow breathing and sighing, upset stomach, headache, muscle tension, and even rapid heart beat. Probably you are someone who worries about your health. Do you have a disease; are you having a heart attack? You anticipate situations that you are concerned about for days, if not weeks in advance. These situations could include health tests or exams, travel plans, social or professional events or pressures. You have an extremely difficult time relaxing and might sometimes use alcohol or medications to help you calm down. You envy people who are relaxed and happy because both these traits seem to elude you.
You have re-occurring intrusive thoughts that you cannot turn off at will. Your mind spins with worrisome, repetitive ideas. It is extremely exhausting and can be very frightening. You want to just turn your mind off, but you don’t know how. These thoughts can be fearful, gruesome, or simply annoying. They can range from obsessions about death dying and illness or disease, to thoughts about hurting yourself or others. These thoughts can focus on your greatest fear, whether it is of disease, losing your mind, or a turbulent flight, or thoughts about the safety of your children. This ongoing circle of thoughts that ruminate, and make you sick with worry tortures you. It is difficult to be in the present moment because you are so absorbed in your own thoughts. You may also find that things need to “feel” a certain way for you to be comfortable. Things need to feel “soft” or be in a certain order. You might have to have food served a certain way or smell things before you eat them. You might have the need to repeat certain behaviors such as washing your hands, cleaning, or checking to make sure doors are locked or appliances are off. You might be superstitious, or have a need to count things. Possibly you are worried about germs and contamination. It is possible that you are an obsessive thinker, but you don’t really experience compulsive behaviors. However, if you experience compulsive behaviors you are more than likely an obsessive thinker as well. This type of anxiety can create a very difficult and painful experience for the sufferer. The only relief comes when you allow yourself to obsess; it almost feels like it will have an effect on the outcome, at least you are doing something because you are thinking about it. For those with compulsive urges, relief only comes when you allow yourself to perform the compulsive behavior.
