DASS-21

I felt that I had nothing to look forward to

I found myself getting agitated

I was unable to become enthusiastic about anything

I was aware of dryness of my mouth

I felt I was close to panic

I felt scared without any good reason

I felt that I was rather touchy

I felt down-hearted and blue

I found it difficult to work up the initiative to do things

I felt that life was meaningless

I tended to over-react to situations

I couldn’t seem to experience any positive feeling at all

I experienced trembling (e.g. in the hands)

How often do you have difficulty getting things in order when you have to do a task that requires organisation?

I found it difficult to relax

I was worried about situations in which I might panic and make a fool of myself

I felt I wasn’t worth much as a person

I experienced breathing difficulty (e.g. excessively rapid breathing, breathlessness in the absence of physical exertion)

I was aware of the action of my heart in the absence of physical exertion (e.g. sense of heart rate increase, heart missing a beat)

I was intolerant of anything that kept me from getting on with what I was doing

I felt that I was using a lot of nervous energy
