TALK TO ME

In my mind, I was determined to seek advice from a guidance counselor of the school I am teaching at. But as my classes are scheduled on the weekend, no one was available.
I have also considered talking to one of the HR officers of the company I am working with.

Because I have questions.
Do we have means of determining and monitoring the mental/emotional/psychological health, like tests, consultations, or something?
Do we actually monitor these things?

A lot has been going through my mind.
Whenever news dawns on me, especially if it involves family, I get distracted. I become confused. I get to be extra-sensitive and start over-thinking things: relationships, work, activities, and more. I feel conscious of the people around me: their actions, their facial expressions and reactions. I would worry more than usual.

And then I'm stuck with nowhere.

So I wanted to be sure. But I'm not sure where to start. Even when I looked it up online, I couldn't convince myself of the things I already knew beforehand.

I realized it's impossible for online tests not to exist. I took four.

So how accurate are they? How reliable are they?

In the end, I will need someone to talk to.
