*Not surprising at all. I've felt somewhat depressed my whole life. I don't think it's severe depression. Seems more mild/moderate to me. Definitely chronic. I really don't know any different. I go through phases a bit. Some days aren't so bad while others I feel like crap, but overall, I've really never been a happy person.
The depression experienced in dysthymia sufferers tends appear almost as a personality trait. They tend to be self-critical and negative, with low self-esteem.
Absolutely makes sense to me. Being negative and depressive and lacking confidence is just the way I am. It's all I know. Part of me doesn't even want to be happy. I'd like to feel better enough to be functional, but I have no desire to change my pessimistic ways.
I was actually reading in my psych book that personality disorders are the disorders students most frequently se in themselves because it's so vague and has symptoms most people can relate to. Makes me doubt whether anything is wrong, and then I remember I don't need to fall under a category to know there is (me and my silly need for labels :😛:)
Was that implying that students will recognize when they have a personality disorder more often than if they have some other type or disorder? Or did it mean they tend to falsely believe they have a personality disorder more often than other disorders? I can see various traits of avoidant, obsessive-compulsive and schizoid personality disorders in myself. But while I can relate to some degree, I really have no idea where they put the threshold. Often symptoms are listed as severe this or that, or the symptoms must cause significant distress in order for a diagnosis to be made. But what exactly does severe or significant mean? Where is the line drawn between mild and significant? That I don't know. That's one thing that makes me very weary of getting help. I don't want to go see some psychologist and say, maybe I have this, this and this, only to have them tell me I'm wrong because it isn't that bad. But that's exactly where a professional comes in. I know me better than anybody else does, so of course I'm gonna be the first to say, hey, that sounds like me, when I read about something I can relate to. Other people would never pick up on these things because they don't know all my secrets and aren't that observant. But the right professional knows about the details. They'll know where the cutoff is. And yes, just because one does not quite meet the criteria for some disorder does not mean that nothing is wrong and that they should be brushed off and ignored. Not all issues warrant the diagnosis of a mental illness.
I don't think this test is accurate. Most of the postings show high and extremely high in more than one category for mostly everyone.& there was very little questions for the amount of categorizes this survey had.
I don't recommend taking it, unless you want to fret about something you probably don't have

Tests like this usually aren't completely accurate. They're only meant to give some insight.
