i love question 90

"do you have a specific plan to kill yourself?"

1. Yes

2. i'm working on it

3. no

Not really sure why that's funny if I'm honest.

[Brainy]

Tbh I chuckled at that bit.

I'm not laughing at the people who are working on it, I guess my immaturity is showing...

I was amazed at that to be honest. There's something not quite right about making light about taking your own life.

It's the way they phrased it. "I'm working on it". They could have quite easily put "I have considered options" or something but they threw that one in there instead. No one's laughing at the thought of anyone taking their own life, just the author of the quiz and their ridiculous way of phrasing things. I mean seriously, "I'm working on it"?!

I am mildly depressed so it seems. I am sure the OCD plays a huge part in this.

I know they're not and I agree, it is a totally ridiculous way of putting it. The thing is though, having looked after people who have had failed attempts to take their own life it really can be something like this that can actually push them into attempting it.

32/100 Mild symptoms............ probably down to the kids being off school this week

I scored 56, however, I think having ME contributed to a higher score as they asked about energy and loss of appetite etc.

But Katy, the questions gave an option that you had been diagnosed with something else that would account for that - a sort of opt out I guess. Did you select those options, cos you might be less depressed than you think!

And doesn't all this create a vicious circle... you feel down, you take the test, find out you're more depressed than you thought, which is in turn depressing...

[Trav Le Bleu]

I am still keeping my spirits up.

I like to think I'm keeping other's spirits up!

[Guest]

I wish someone would keep my spirits up. Vodka or tequila will do.

Depression tests are depressing.

Chocolate on the other hand...

Fecking hell, here's hoping Southend cheers me up

[Trav Le Bleu]

For all you manic depressives out there.

I know it's a little facile, but it works for me.

After such a great weekend, I have come back down with a crash.

Haha, yeah I did click it when it was mentioned but that was only mentioned about twice. I don't think I am depressed, I know when I have been depressed and I'm not at the moment. This bloody thing gets me down a bit though sometimes.

Hey, don't worry Lease. You have Saturday to look forward to, not long to go now
