Depression quiz - ARE YOU A CABBAGE?

      "If  you don't follow through on your dreams 
       you might as well be a vegetable."

      "What kind of vegetable?" the small boy asked.

      cabbage!"  From the film,

Happy healthy hopes and dreams are hugely important when it comes to depression. Is it possible to be depressed and live your dreams at the same time? See what I mean? It doesn't get much bigger than that.

BUT...it is tricky to stay coherent while you learn to live your dreams. There are a lot of places to trip up. But don't let that mean you have to be depressed.

This depression quiz is about only one aspect of depression. There are many more important aspects to learn about.

Quiz for Bonding and Connection Discover some of the issues you face in loving yourself or others. Connection, feeling safe...your need for closeness and solitude, can be tender. Depression is linked to these issues.

Quiz for Nurture and Support Are your needs being met? This short quiz reminds us to have sympathy and caring for ourselves as we learn and grow. How does lack of support or poor nurturing contribute to depression?

Quiz for Values and Inspiration Who doesn't have "worthiness" issues? This is another common cause of depression. Do you feel valued and acknowledged, inspired or honorable? What do you value most?

Quiz for Courage and Power To what degree do you accept and live your truth? How are you powerful...or not powerful? What are you afraid of?

The "Too Much Me" Depression Quiz This depression quiz is a bit long and non-specific. I call it the "caterpillar goo" quiz. Did you know that caterpillars turn into total goo before they transform into butterflies? We do that too... everything--inside and out, melts down.
