Psychological Health

I believe my psychological health was pretty normal. After taking the depression test I told me I was not depressed. It asked me many question like did I lay in bed a lot or did I take multiple naps during the day. Some days are busier than others for me, and on the busier days I may need to take an occasional light nap to get my energy up. It also asked me if I was feeling down and not showing interest in things. For me, that’s not the case, I live an active life full of exercise and activities. Another good indicator for depression is having a poor diet, either eating more or less. My diet has stayed the same over a long period of time except for the rare treat every now and again. I believe that depression is my strong point because it told me that I was not depressed. For now I am a happy person and hopefully can stay that way. I feel that I am not depressed because of all the exercising I do. I work out at least three hours a day so that tends to give me energy and not depressed.

One of my biggest weaknesses is my stress. Over the last couple of months my stress has risen. Sometimes I find myself having trouble falling asleep or waking up in the middle of the night. It seems that when my stress is high it means that I probably have more than one thing to do at a time. When I have more than one thing to do that’s when my stress is the highest. There are also other factors to my stress, such as school. I get stressed when I feel like I don’t have time to put my full effort into it. It seems like all my professors got together and wanted every assignment due on the same date. But my stress has gone done since last year. Last year I was so unorganized and I couldn’t sleep and I was always wondering if there was something I was supposed to do or forgot.
