I tend to test as "moderately depressed," because I get literal-minded about the questions, and "nihilism" doesn't trigger a "depressive" diagnosis.
They ask, "do you believe that nobody loves you?" Of course not. I have a husband and kids who adore me, and many friends who value my company. Whether I think they're crazy is not covered by the test.
They ask, "Do you have trouble sleeping?" Sort of. I HAVE KIDS. My sleep habits have not been steady in over ten years.
They ask, "Do you feel that things would be better if you were dead?" No, I can't convince myself that anyone would be happier if I didn't exist, except maybe Wade.
I'd consider looking for counseling, except I'm pretty sure I (1) can't afford it and (2) wouldn't trust a counselor enough to talk to them...and I'm not will to play psychoactive drug roulette, trying to find one that helps.
