@Chumly,
Thanks for sharing the website!
@Chumly,
I was too anxious to take the test.
Seriously, I scored a 59. Better than I thought. Hard to answer accurately as some of these same answers are due to having an arrhythmia being the cause and not anxiety.
Existential Anxiety
14
Your score on this scale was quite low, indicating that you are generally satisfied with life and are able to handle the fact that there are things beyond your control. You likely feel pretty good about yourself on the whole, and don't experience a debilitating amount of worry over the future. Individuals with this profile are typically able to find some kind of meaning in their lives, which alleviates the occasional feeling of futility. You may have the rare flashes of existential anxiety from time to time but are able to get a grip on them before they send you on a downward spiral. This positive outlook certainly has a profound effect on the way you view the world and your role in it.
Who knew! Moi! Thankfully, that 'bout sums up life
these days ~ 'tis wonderful
(give or take the odd curveball that needs to ripple out )

this time a lucky number
I scored a 7...and I am delighted that I did.
@Frank Apisa,
Frank? You're only 7 points away from Nirvana.
61 for me. I'm surprised it's that low.
@Chumly,
For what it's worth (probably not much hereabout), try one or two two tabs each of 5-HTP, St John's wort, kava kava, and ginseng

You got a D- Roberta! HA! I got an A-! I win!!
I took the text twice. First time answering how I feel now, then again on how I felt 10 years ago when things were bad.
First time 17

From the past...

You have a high level of existential anxiety, which can be best explained as a sense of dissatisfaction with life and a feeling that things are somehow beyond your realm of control. Overall, people with such an outlook often feel helpless, as though nothing is predictable or stable, and wonder why they are not as happy as other people appear to be. They may sometimes feel out of control, afraid of the future or even question whether life has any meaning. Your regular flashes of existential anxiety could send you on a downward spiral if you don't get a grip on them. Adopting a more positive outlook could have a profound effect on the way you view the world, your role in it, and your level of anxiety.
Good news for someone experiencing anxiety is that things can change, for sure.
I got a zero so I guess I'm not anxious.
@Bennet,
Also...as in almost every psychological test...there were ambiguous questions...questions that I wanted to qualify the answer I gave...but had no way to do so.
