Sanity Score: 162 OMG I think I need help.

Clandestine · May 15, 2008 at 05:11 AM

I thought I'll get a low score but I ended up getting high ones, and I'm just 20 years old >.<

I'm shaking. I got a 162. I know for a fact that this isn't a diagnoses per se, but just an indication of several issues I may be having in life. But wow. ;[

I haven't been back on therapy nor meds for about 4 months now... I think I should start looking for a therapist/psychiatrist now. ;[

eh... judge by your life and the events in it... i keep taking this thing, but i don't know what to do with the info. I mean, it highlights the areas that i already know of. I mainly used it (in addition to curiosity) for the BMI score =)

are you already working with someone on some issues?

That's why I was worried... I'm not seeing someone about this at the moment. My parents know I had "clinical depression" but they aren't aware of my other diagnosis. They halted my medications and persuaded me not to see my psychiatrist anymore.

But lately, I have been shaking and having trouble doing things I'm interested at, which is causing me delay in my school activities. ;[

my parents also dissuaded me from seeking professional help when I was younger and still living with them. My mother thought it was embarrassing. I've had to hide it from them for ten years and it makes things really hard, and our relationship extremely strained.

Many parents are afraid to have their children go for therapy or counseling. In addition to fearing social judgment, another reason can be that they feel insecure about themselves and fear that all of the children's problems will turn out to be their fault. Another is that they want the children to have the parents' values and goals. When a friend or therapist encourages the person to speak up with their own needs and thoughts, the parent can sometimes perceive that as the therapist "putting ideas in their head." The same thing can happen between a person and their spouse, siblings, or friends. Ultimately you need to stand up for what you need and want, and they will have to adjust, regardless of their resistance to it. One thing I have liked about therapy/counseling is that a good therapist has the opposite influence - to help people see that they are not so bad as they feared. I would suggest that you look at your own feelings and needs - do you think it would help to have someone to talk to? or to discuss the scores with to give you additional insight?
