SELF ASSESSMENT | Depression Self Testing: Are you depressed?

77 what now

I just stopped counting at 76. I’m really tired.

I scored a 71. This is so shocking because it makes me more clearly see how bad my relationship is and how lost I feel.

I scored 42--= moderately depressed.  It's relieving to know that yeah...that's where I'm at.  I find I can accept where I'm at if I can put a word to it.  And there are so many emotions flowing around, I thought I'd come to this forum again.

I'm at this score because I've just finalised the property settlement with my xBPDw.  The divorce happened back earlier this year, so this property settlement is the last really big thing.  The last boundary.  I'm out and can move forward.  And I think all the pent up grief, regret, and relief is pouring out...all mixed up.

I scored a 30, meaning moderately depressed.  I feel like my ADHD, anxiety and dealing with a uBPDw contributed to this moderate score (due to the FOG), more so than actual depression.  Nonetheless it's great to be aware of.

Scored a 49 in January and a 24 in May.  Counseling and realizing my wife of 25 years is uBPD has helped A LOT.  Owning that the constant onslaught of emotional abuse created my own self inflicted codependent depressive thinking and working my way out of it with a lot of self evaluation and reflection has helped!  Putting a BPD name to the BS has been a God Send!

Putting a BPD name to the BS has been a God Send! 

This was so true for me as well with my uPBDw.  The minute I realized the cause of the chaos I could definitely look at our relationship differently and make the changes necessary.

I do not have an option for changing my answer.  In 2022 I was moderately depressed with my situation, now I am unhappy (score 9).  Please re-enable the ability to change one's vote?

Also, I have learned through many sources; BPD family was a big part of this which has allowed me to process wtf was going on with my pwBPD.  With the help of therapists, this site, and others, instead of being reactive, I am now proactive with my pwBPD and making good changes in my family dynamic - in turn this has reduced my depression to the point where it really isn't an issue any more.

Thanks BPD Family.

Wow I got a 57...severe depression...makes sense.

I'm at an 85.

I just wrote up what I'm going to say to her on Monday. I'm breaking up with her. All I do is cry or numb myself.

I wish there was a fast forward button.
