My therapist uses a different questionnaire that has more negative questions like "Little interest or pleasure in doing things" or "Poor appetite or overeating". I tend to do alright on that one.
However, I score over 2 on only a few of the items on the list you posted, and a lot of them are solidly 1. There's a feeling of tension, anger, and frustration I just can't shake.
There's a big difference (to me anyway) in the wording between "Feeling bad about yourself – or that you are a failure or have let yourself or family down" and "I’ve been feeling good about myself"
I wouldn't say that I feel like a failure (and I have nobody who cares enough to let down), but I sure haven't been feeling good either.
I don't know quite how to express this doctors and mental health professionals in a way they understand, though, and this scale really kind of illustrates it for me, so I'm wondering what that means?
