Do I need therapy? Really?? I do???

Just retook the Do I Need Therapy test, and these were my results:

Although your scores were generally quite good, you scored well outside the normal range in at least one category. This suggests that you should probably consult with a mental health professional for further testing or treatment. There is most certainly a professional out there who can help improve the symptoms you are experiencing.

The following are the areas of concern detected by the screening:

  • You appear to suffer from obsessional thoughts.

  • You appear to suffer from compulsive behavior.

  • You appear to suffer from Panic Disorder.

  • You appear to be suffering from Anorexia.

  • You appear to be suffering from Bulimia.

  • Your responses strongly indicate that you suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder.

  • Your responses strongly indicated that you suffer from Hypochondriasis. (Yeah, that whole one question.)
The test also detected symptoms of one or more disorders that did not meet all the criteria, but that may still merit treatment.

  • You have experienced symptoms of a major depressive episode, but not enough to qualify as a full-blown episode, or as major depressive disorder.

  • You have experienced symptoms of a manic episode.

  • Although you meet the criteria for the frequency of symptoms, your symptoms do not appear to be severe enough to meet the criteria for Bipolar disorder.

  • You meet the criteria for the frequency of symptoms of Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder, but your symptoms do not appear to be severe enough to meet the criteria.

  • You experience some symptoms of Simple Phobia.

  • You experience some symptoms of Social Phobia.

  • You display some symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but you do not appear to meet the full criteria for the disorder.

  • You experience some symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

  • You experience some symptoms of Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia.

  • You have some symptoms of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, although you do not meet the full criteria for the disorder.

  • You appear to suffer from some symptoms of Dependent Personality disorder.

Maybe it's bad that none of this surprises me in the least. I don't know. Is it?
