I can be either cheerful or sad, depending on the circumstances I feel calm for the most part I have no sleeping problems, and get as much sleep as I need. I have no difficulty in falling asleep My appetite has been much the same as usual I have no difficulty in concentrating I have no difficulties starting new tasks I am interested and involved in my surroundings, and this gives me pleasure I view the future with confidence. On the whole I am quite satisfied with life My appetite for life is normal

I feel a bit low for the most part, though sometimes it eases up a little I sometimes have unpleasant feelings of unease I have some sleeping problems. Sometimes it is hard to get off to sleep, or I sleep more lightly or restlessly than usual My appetite has been poorer than usual Occasionally I find it hard to concentrate on things that I would usually find interesting (e.g., reading, or watching TV) When I have to get on with something, I find it more difficult than usual I feel less strongly about things that normally arouse my interest; it is harder than usual to be cheerful, or to be angry when there is cause Sometimes I am self-critical and think I am less worthy than others Life doesn't seem particularly meaningful, though I don't wish I were dead

I feel thoroughly low and gloomy. Even things that normally cheer me up give me no pleasure I am constantly plagued by feelings of uneasiness that can be very strong, and which I must make an effort to overcome I sleep at least 2h a night less than usual. I wake often during the night, even if nothing has disturbed me I have had almost no appetite at all. Food seems tasteless and I have to make myself eat I find it particularly hard to concentrate on things that usually require no effort (e.g., reading, or talking with other people) It requires great effort for me to get started on simple tasks that I normally perform more or less without thinking I feel no interest in my surroundings, not even for friends and acquaintances I brood over my failures and feel inferior or worthless, even if others may not agree I often think it would be better to be dead, and though I don't really want to commit suicide it does seem a possible solution

I feel so utterly low and miserable, that I can imagine nothing worse I have dreadful, persistent or unbearable feelings of anxiety I sleep very badly, no more than 2-3h a night I haven't felt like eating at all. I need persuading if I am to get anything down I am quite unable to concentrate on anything at all I can not get started with the simplest everyday tasks I no longer have any feelings. I feel painfully indifferent, even toward those closest to me Everything seems black to me, and I can see no glimmering of hope. I feel I am thoroughly useless, and that there is no chance of forgiveness for the awful things I have done I am quite convinced that my only solution is to die, and I give a lot of thought to the best way to take my own life
