posted because of the last two.
Have a pen and paper handy before you read any further. As soon as you read a question, write the answer right away.
Make sure to answer questions 1-10 before moving on...NO CHEATING!!
Read the following questions, imagining the scenes in your mind, and write down the FIRST thing that you visualize. Do not think about the questions excessively.
1. You are not alone. You are walking in the woods. Who are you walking with?
2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal is it?
3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing and before you is your dream house. Describe its size?
5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
6. You enter the house. You walk to the dining area and see the dining room table. Describe what you see on AND around the table.
7. You exit the house through the back door. Lying in the grass is a cup. What material is the cup made of?
8. What do you do with the cup?
9. You walk to the edge of the property, where you find yourself standing at the edge of a body of water. What type of body of water is it?
10. How will you cross the water?
1. Precious Keanu
2. Squirrel
3. We look at each other and it runs around up behind a tree
4. Medium large
5. The gardens are fenced in.
6. The table is made of dark wood. It's basically bare, maybe a tablecloth or runner.
7. Plastic
8. Leave it
9. Pond
10. Go around.
This has been a relational psychology test. The answers given to the questions have been shown to have a relevance to values and ideals that we hold in our personal lives. The analysis follows:
1. The person who you are walking with is the most important person in your life. That's an obvious analysis to the answer of a question like that.
2. The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems. I don't know that I'd say that, but sure.
3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems. (passive/aggressive) sounds about right.
4. The size of your dream house is representative of the size of your ambition to resolve your problems. I don't know how that works, but ok.
5. No fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer people not to drop by unannounced. Only special people can come into my garden!
6. If your answer did not include food, people, or flowers, then you are generally unhappy. Flowers I can see but why would food and people automatically be nearby?
7. The durability of the material with which the cup is made of is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship with the person named in number 1. For example, styrafoam, plastic, and paper are all disposable, styrofoam, paper and glass are not durable, and metal and plastic are durable. Good enough!
8. Your disposition of the cup is representative of your attitude towards the person in number 1. UNTRUE I WOULD ALWAYS TAKE YOU WITH!
9. The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your sexual desire. Wah wah.
10. How wet you get in crossing the water is indicative of the relative importance of your sex life. WAH WAH!
As far as general things, it's pretty obvious that 40mg/day of fluoxitine is the best for me. On Tuesday I found out that I had to present for the group meeting the next day. Even though I had only a day to prepare, I did well enough and didn't immediately freak out. Compare to that the last time i presented for the group meeting when I had the whole week to prepare and was so nervous that I had to stay home the day before because I was freaking out too much. Yeah, my coping skills are much better now. I got a perscription for another antidepressent that also is an appetite increaser to add to my fluoxitine and I didn't even go a full week because the side effects were so bad. It made me exhausted and dizzy like nothing else. It was really hard to even just walk and make breakfast, and I would get dizzy when I closed my eyes (so that made resting difficult). So I really am back to where I started six months ago when I went to the doctor to try to fix my appetite. The current plan is to work on planning meals with Brian so I know what we're going to do and it has to be made so that means I have to eat. Also taking a multivitamin in the morning should keep me from getting sick every other week like I did. That's at least better because I haven't gotten really sick this winter yet, so I really don't know what's what.
The stupid little test thing makes me kind of sad because I used to have so much fun playing around with my boys, and now I have to get myself drunk to be able to do anything. Maybe it'll go back to normal once I'm on my old drugs for longer, or maybe it's a seasonal thing. I hate having less than three layers on so of course I don't want to do anything naughty! Brrrrrr.
