Quiz Outcomes

1.
You might be experiencing depression
Image Source
You have not suffered an emotional loss, but you still seem to feel sad and don't enjoy the things that you may have enjoyed before. You might be on autopilot and not feel any extreme emotions, which have caused you to become apathetic or even ambivalent towards life. If you have been experiencing these feelings for three months or more, please seek support and guidance as soon as possible.
2.
You might be experiencing grief
Image Source
You've experienced some kind of emotional loss or change to your daily life. This is not limited to the death of a loved one, but includes a wide range of loss and change that can be big or small. There is not one single definition of grief, and everyone experiences grief differently. If you have been suffering from grief for longer than a year, please seek support and guidance as soon as possible.
3.
You might be experiencing anxiety
Image Source
You feel on edge more than you used to. Most days you might feel like it's hard for you to focus, you don't get enough sleep, and you can't stop worrying about everything. If you have ever had tightness in your chest, muscle tension, a rapid heart beat, and/or shortness of breath from your worries, please seek support and guidance as soon as possible.
4.
You might be experiencing a mix of depression, anxiety, and grief
Image Source
You are feeling various emotions that cannot be narrowed down to a specific topic. There is a lot of overlap between grief, anxiety, and depression and it's sometimes hard to pin down exactly what emotional journey you are going through. A therapist will be able to help identify what you are going through. If you have been experiencing these feelings for three months or more, please seek support and guidance as soon as possible.
5.
You might not be experiencing depression, anxiety, or grief
Image Source
You might feel off centered every once in a while, but your emotions are under control. You haven't experienced a significant emotional loss and don't struggle with anxiety or depression frequently. Even though we don't all actively struggle with these emotions every day, it is still okay to seek support and guidance as you see fit in order to stay emotionally healthy.
