This isn't a screening test — it's a moment to name how you're feeling, without judgment or a score at the end. You pick from a short list of feelings, see a brief acknowledging reflection, and can optionally follow it with a short guided breathing exercise (a simple slow-count pattern, similar to box breathing) if that helps in the moment.
Nothing you select is saved, uploaded, or shared — there's no login and no tracking of your specific answers. If naming how you feel surfaces something more serious, or you'd like an actual clinical measure, the DASS-21 and K10 are validated next steps, and our helpline directory lists free people to talk to. If you're in immediate danger, call 000 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.
Is this the same as a mental health screening test?
No — it's a lightweight emotional check-in, not a validated clinical instrument. It won't give you a score or a diagnosis; it's simply a private way to pause and put a word to how you feel.
Why does it suggest a breathing exercise?
Slow, paced breathing can help settle the nervous system in the moment, particularly with feelings like anxiety or overwhelm. It's optional — you can skip straight back to the results or close the page at any time.
