Yesterday I was doing nothing, as usual. I had a plan
actually with a few mates in the evening. At noon I was slouching on bed, doing
nothing and feeling bored. I picked my phone and scrolled the screen, jumped
from one page to another, basically tried to find something a bit interesting.
I typed something on Google and a few suggestions appeared.
It was a search about a particular quiz. Absentmindedly I opened the first
page suggested and did the quiz. It was a quiz about depression. Standard
questions and nothing piqued my interest. As the result was out, I saw that I
just had 30% of depression and it was a low at scale. Yet the result suggested
that I had symptoms of bipolar, so they offered a link to bipolar disorder
quiz.
Naturally, I was baited.
Once again, the quiz had standard questions and nothing piqued my
interest. Since I thought it was just like the previous quiz, if not lamer, I
waited for the result to pop without any interest. You can guess what
happened? The result showed that I had very high scale at depression. By
number? It was 100% of bipolar disorder.
I only have a very vague, little knowledge about bipolar
disorder. Was it a multiple personality stuff or something? That result fished
a bit more interest from me, because I didn’t think the result would vary very
differently from the previous yet similar quiz I’ve taken.
Of course I knew how silly those quizzes are. The web also
stated that the quiz was just meant for information and fun and you shouldn’t
take in a a real diagnose. I also didn’t have any interest to know what bipolar
disorder is, since I thought the quiz was just stupid. Okay, I was lazy. So,
no, this story wasn’t meant to tell you about how I ended up thinking I was
having a bipolar disorder and started to justify my life story with the
informations I gathered about it. No, that wasn’t the highlight.
After reading the result and thinking how amusing the
difference in the results...then, I wondered:
how did I get here?
Do you remember how this story started? After the slouching
part, people. Yes, I typed something on Google.
What did I type?
how close you are to suicide
