0 - Not at all

How much have you experienced each of the following symptoms during the past week, including today?

1. Feeling sad or down in the dumps.
2. Feeling unhappy or blue.
3. Crying spells or tearfulness.
4. Feeling discouraged.
5. Feeling hopeless.
6. Low self-esteem.
7. Feeling worthless or inadequate.

Now I hardly register on that scale, but 2 years ago I was at the top of it. I hadn't slept more than 4 hours in months, lost 20 pounds, I had a fully thought out plan for ending my life. Scary.
