Honest self-checks

A gentle way to recognise what you're carrying.

These are recognition tools, not diagnoses. You cannot fail them, and nothing you tap is stored or shared. They simply help you notice a pattern, in plain words, with a warm read of what it often means.

The short version

This check is about "the responsible one," the eldest-daughter and good-child pattern many Indians grow up inside. Answer eight questions honestly. At the end you will get a gentle read, and a next step if you want one. It takes about two minutes.

Is this "the responsible one" in you?

Answer for how things usually are, not just today.

I'm the one everyone comes to when something goes wrong.
Rest makes me feel guilty, like I'm forgetting something.
I confuse being needed with being loved.
I was 'mature for my age' long before I should have had to be.
I find it hard to ask for help, even when I'm drowning.
I manage other people's feelings before I notice my own.
Saying no to my parents feels almost physically difficult.
I'm seen as the strong one, and I fall apart quietly at 2am.

Answer all eight to continue. Nothing is saved.

Each one is a recognition tool, written in plain Indian-English, never a clinical verdict.

Is my "fine" actually burnout?

For the tiredness that sleep does not fix, and the guilt that comes with rest.

What's my attachment style?

Why you might pick the same person every time, or stay when you want to leave.

Am I numbing, or resting?

The difference between a nervous system exhaling and one that has gone quiet.

What a self-check is

A structured way to say what you are already noticing.

These are the same screening questions a therapist might open with. Answering them yourself does two things: it turns a vague heaviness into something specific, and it gives your first session a place to start.

  • Nothing is stored against your name, and nothing is sold.
  • You can stop halfway. There is no score for finishing.
  • The result is a description, never a diagnosis.
After the check

A result is a sentence you can now say out loud. That is the whole point of it.

What it cannot tell you

Whether you have a condition, how severe it is, or what treatment you need. Screening tools are blunt by design, and they do not know anything about your life. A clinician asks the follow-up questions a form cannot.

About the self-checks

Before you begin one.

No. The check runs in your browser and the answers are not sent to us or stored against you.
It means the questions caught something worth talking about, not that a verdict has been reached. Take it to a therapist rather than sitting with it alone.
Yes, and it is genuinely useful. It gives a first session somewhere concrete to begin.
No. These tools measure specific things and miss plenty. How you actually feel is the more reliable signal, and it is reason enough to talk to someone.
When you're ready

Recognising it is the first step. The next one can be a conversation.
