(no subject)

Because I'm now a medical test person, (PET scan tomorrow, which means no coffee in the morning! argh!)there are numerous questionnares that I'm also supposed to do. Almost all of them are for mapping my eating patterns and seeing if I have eating disorder etc. Ok, I have no problems answering questions like "Do you feel that after you have started eating, you can't stop?" (no, I don't)

But the last questionnaire, it's freaking hilarious, and, at the same time scary as hell. It had four pages of questions like these: (you have to pick the one that suits you best)

a I don't feel sad
b I feel sad
c I'm always sad, I feel like I can't get rid of it
d I' m so sad and miserable I can't take it anymore

a I don't feel punished
b I feel like I might be punished
c I'm waiting to be punished
d I feel like I'm being punished

a I don't cry more than usual
b I cry now more than before
c Nowadays I cry all the time
d I used to able to cry, but now I can't cry even if I wanted to.

a I'm not disappointed of myself
b I'm dissappointed of myself
c I loathe myself
d I hate myself

a I havent thought about killing myself
b I have thought about suicide, but I wouldn't do it.
c I want to kill myself
d If I had the opportunity, I would kill myself

(I picked the first one on all of these)

Okay, I can understand that since the test is about brain chemistry, they have to pick out all clinically depressed people with chemical imbalances, but to the subject person to get this far, they already have to be declared healthy! It's just really weird to fill out questionnaires about whether ot not I would like t kill myself, that's all.
