Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I recently started going to a psychologist and she has given me the MMPI test along with some sort of test for Aspeger's. She wouldn't go into much detail about the MMPI testing scores; really only saying that my anxiety and depression were very high which I already knew. She said that two other things were off the charts, but didn't say what they were. She said one was off the charts at the top and the other at the bottom. I am freaking out and wonder what it could be. She informed me that someone else had scored my test and she wanted to review it to make sure it is correct before she goes into detail about what is going on.
She did say though that she thought we are getting somewhere with the Asperger's test. I have had a feeling that this is what's going on with me, but now that I have taken the MMPI I am terrified that there may be more going on than just Asperger's. :-O (That's me screaming on the inside)
My next appointment is Tuesday and I am not sure I can wait that long, but I have to because that is the first day they are open. I am stuck at home with nothing to do, but worry until Tuesday! I could go for a walk, but my mind would still be on that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Find a good book, a silly movie or your idea of a walk is good but put music on. that may sidetrack you for a while. that's when my house gets cleaned with the music loud... Be silly and dance with the vacuum or mop. Good luck, hope others give suggestions.
what are they looking for with an MMPI? Is it a health issue or mental condition (don't know what the test is for, so plz fill me in....is it about genetics?).
Know that with anxiety, we tend to blow things way out of proportion.
The best thing to do is if they are looking for something genetic and not something like a major health issue, it can have a solution.
I agree with pollybizz......find a good book..........
Find some friends to hang out with and chill out by doing something you love to do. Keep telling yourself positive things and reassure yourself that you are fine.....the doctors have a handle on what is going on with you. Try to find some humor in your thinking (I know it's hard....but it is possible).
Hang in there and be pro active in distracting yourself.....and know that even though it is difficult.....keep trying until you find something that works for you!!!
:D And she still might be wrong. So basically, relax. The fact that she didn't want to tell you tells me she didn't realise it would be an anxiety issue for you, which tells me she doesn't think it's something you need to be anxious about.
There. :) Don't look tooo hard at the logic behind that, just soak it up, and relax. :)
