This website contains a disorder test…
I’ve done it…just to try ;

Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: Moderate
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: Moderate
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Moderate
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: Moderate
Dependent: Very High
Obsessive-Compulsive: Low

My comment : Well, I think the levels are normal
Except for the dependent part that is… :3
It made me feel like one @”!%=d up in head person
Or is it just me?

…And a Depression Test

Disorder	Your Score
Major Depression:	High
Dysthymia:	Slight-Moderate
Bipolar Disorder:	Very Slight
Cyclothymia:	Very Slight
Seasonal Affective Disorder:	Very High
Postpartum Depression:	N/A
Take the Depression Test

My Comment : No replacement to professional things
Not good…oh and no postpartum depression for me
Probably because I’m not a mother yet.
But I honestly hope I can beat this
Before any of those events.

Hotlines and Help…

” Pain is temporary…
I once said and firmly believe
That we go through the bad and rough situations
Mean and deceiving persons…
So that when we find the right person
We know how to cherish the better and happier moments.
So NOT give up, keep walking!
Do NOT throw your life away ” .

To be honest I am thankful
That there are more people that understand
And that actually do something to help others
…Who are in these situations.
To whoever reads this I sincerely hope it helps
And that is one step for your recovery
A wake up call. A helping hand.
If you need someone, I’ll be your friend 🙂
Take care!! 😀

p.s.: In case someone does wonder why I only or mostly
Write about these subjects…
It’s because I went through them
In some parts of my life.

For instance, I can’t talk much about other situations
As eating disorders or mental disorders…
Because I haven’t got much through them.
In any case I can leave some links or even videos
Of those. But I’ll check first
Then I shall post in case I find them useful;

p.s.: Sugestions or comments, etc
Are more than welcome.
Rude comments and such will be deleted.
Take care ! **

About Depression…

[English Only]
I’m not sure if anyone can relate to it.
I do know, no doubt that there might be people
Struggling with this…

Small story :
+8 yrs with school bullying
+constant argues at home
+breakup
+loss of best friend

Symptoms/ Consequences :
+ loss of self esteem
+ self hatred/guilt even self harm
(cutting)
+ suicidal thoughts and attempts
(contemplations…cutting once & drowning attempt twice)

+ loss of interest in doing activities
(writing wasn’t something I enjoyed at the time…
I used to love it…
Along with gaming something I quit)

+ being tired most of the time
(there were times when I woke up
that I felt tired already
Or that I only slept)

+ weight loss

+ unexplainable pain
(something I didn’t know
I only found out when I was diagnosed
in my case it was pain on my chest and back)

+ feeling of wanting to cry
sometimes not knowing why.

+ isolating from friends
and some more stuff…
anxiety crisis and breakdowns
insecurities.

On the other hand,
There wasn’t any drop in my grades
I was still a student with average to good grades.
On another post I shall write my point of view about it.

Wrong things! :
– Not listening, not supporting
Whoever has depression needs support.
– We do not fake and we are not drama persons.
– Telling us to get over it
And to smile won’t solve anything.

What to do…
– Listen (more than talking)
– Search or help that person
to get proper professional support
– Try to go out with
And DO NOT let the person isolate
Once the person isolates
Worthlessness and suicidal thoughts can arise.
