Am I Okay? Easy & Free Self-Tests for Mental Health, Addiction, & Eating Disorders

We have all asked ourselves that question at 3:00 AM, staring at the ceiling: “Am I okay?” It is a question that often surfaces after an evening where your relationship with food felt out of control, a moment of hyper-vigilance that left your heart racing, or a week where the weight of unmet emotional needs made getting out of bed feel impossible. In our fast-paced world, and especially here in Atlanta, where the pressure for women to appear “polished” and “perfect” can be suffocating, it is easy to dismiss these red flags. We tell ourselves we’re just tired. We tell ourselves we’re just stressed. We tell ourselves that every woman feels this way.

But deep down, you might suspect that “stress” doesn’t quite cover the “root causes” of what you are experiencing.

The gap between suspecting something is wrong and actually walking into a clinical office can feel like an insurmountable canyon. For women, fear, stigma, and the worry of being labeled often prevent us from seeking the help we deserve. This is where self-tests come in. They are private, objective, and pressure-free tools that allow you to hold a mirror up to your mental health in the safety of your own space.

At Revelare Recovery in Atlanta, Georgia, we believe that clarity is the first step toward reclaiming your life. We have developed a comprehensive suite of free, confidential self-tests to help you gauge your symptoms regarding mental health challenges, substance use, and eating disorders.

Disclaimer: These tests are screening tools, not diagnostic instruments. They cannot replace a professional medical evaluation, but they can provide the critical insight needed to decide if it’s time to take the next step toward healing and professional support.

Why Start with a Self-Test?

Before exploring the specific assessments we offer, it is important to understand the value of these tools in a woman’s journey to wellness. Often, the symptoms we struggle with, whether it is a fixation on food, a sudden emotional “shutdown,” or a reliance on substances, are actually survival strategies. We use them to manage stress, trauma, or pain, and because they help us “cope” in the short term, our brains often convince us that there isn’t actually a problem.

Self-tests act as a gentle interruption to that narrative. Here is why they are a vital starting point:

• Bypassing the “High-Functioning” Mask: Many women in our Atlanta community are experts at appearing “together” while struggling internally. A self-test doesn’t look at your career achievements or your family life; it looks at your internal reality. It provides an objective look at your feelings and behaviors, moving past the “I’m fine” mask we often wear for the world.

• A Safe Space for Truth: Shame is one of the biggest barriers to recovery, particularly regarding eating disorders and substance use. These tests provide a completely private, judgment-free environment. You can answer honestly from your own home, without the pressure of a waiting room or the fear of being “seen” before you are ready.

• Building a Vocabulary for Healing: One of the hardest parts of seeking help is finding the words to describe an invisible struggle. Seeing questions that mirror your specific experiences—such as “Does your heart race for no apparent reason?” or “Do you feel a loss of control during meals?”—gives you the clinical language to explain your needs to a professional or a supportive friend when the time comes.

Below are the specialized assessments available to you. Each is designed to help you peel back the layers of your experience and determine which path toward reclaiming your true self is right for you.

Mental Health Self-Tests

Anxiety Self-Test

Take Our Free Anxiety Self-Test
Everyone experiences stress, but for many women, the “alarm bell” in the brain gets stuck in the ON position. High-functioning anxiety often masquerades as “having it all together” while you struggle with persistent worry, restlessness, or an inability to relax. This self-test helps differentiate between the normal stressors of life in Atlanta and a clinical disorder like GAD or Panic Disorder.

Signs of Clinical Anxiety in Women:

• Physical Symptoms: Chronic muscle tension, racing heart, or unexplained headaches.

• Mental Loops: “What if” thinking and assumes the worst-case scenario will happen.

• Avoidance: Skipping social events or work opportunities because of overwhelming dread.

• Sleep Issues: Difficulty falling asleep because your brain won’t stop “rehearsing” the day.

How We Help: At Revelare Recovery, we use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and somatic work to help you “downshift” your nervous system. By treating the underlying anxiety, we help you break the cycle of using food or substances to quiet the noise in your mind.

Bipolar Disorder Self-Test

Take Our Free Bipolar Disorder Self-Test
Bipolar disorder in women is frequently misunderstood or misdiagnosed as simple depression or hormonal shifts. If you’ve been experiencing extreme mood shifts, periods of high energy followed by deep lows, or sudden changes in sleep and focus, you may be wondering if these are signs of a larger pattern. This self-test is a simple, private way to explore your symptoms and gain insight into your mental health.

Common Indicators to Reflect On:

• Extreme Mood Shifts: Significant fluctuations between “peaks” of intense energy and “valleys” of debilitating sadness.

• High Energy Phases: Periods of “pressured speech,” a decreased need for sleep (feeling rested after only 3 hours), and uncharacteristic impulsivity.

• Changes in Focus: Noticing your mind racing or jumping from one idea to another in a way that feels beyond your control.

• The Emotional Crash: Deep depressive episodes that follow a “high,” often leaving you feeling physically and mentally paralyzed.

How We Help: At Revelare Recovery, we specialize in women’s mental health and understand the unique way mood disorders manifest in the female nervous system. Our team provides compassionate, evidence-based care in a supportive, women-only community. We focus on clinical stabilization and identifying your specific triggers, helping you take the next step toward a life of stability and healing.

Depression Self-Test

Take Our Free Depression Self-Test
Depression is a liar; it tells you that you are lazy, unlovable, and that things will never change. For women, depression often looks like “masking”—showing up for your family and career while feeling completely hollow inside. This assessment explores the nuance between temporary “blues” and Major Depressive Disorder.

Key Indicators:

• Anhedonia: A total loss of interest in hobbies, food, or intimacy that you once loved.

• Biological Shifts: Significant changes in weight (gain or loss) and sleeping too much or too little.

• Executive Dysfunction: Feeling like simple tasks—like showering or answering a text—require a mountain of effort.

How We Help: We provide a safe haven where women can uncover the root causes of their depression. Through individualized psychotherapy and a supportive community, we help you rediscover your energy and reclaim the “color” in your world.

Mood Disorders Self-Test

Take Our Free Mood Disorders Self-Test
If you feel like your emotions are constantly in flux or that you are “too sensitive” to the world around you, you may be struggling with a mood disorder. This category covers a broad spectrum of emotional instability that can interfere with your ability to maintain relationships and a stable self-image.

Signs of Emotional Dysregulation:

• Intense Reactivity: Feeling emotions more deeply and for longer durations than others.

• Chronic Emptiness: A pervasive feeling of a “void” that nothing seems to fill.

• Relationship Chaos: A pattern of intense, unstable relationships characterized by shifting between “idealizing” and “devaluing” others.

How We Help: We utilize RO-DBT and emotional regulation skills to help you build a stable internal foundation. We focus on helping you navigate your emotions without being overwhelmed by them.

PTSD Self-Test

Take Our Free PTSD Self-Test
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is not reserved for combat veterans; it is a common reality for women who have survived childhood trauma, domestic issues, or significant life stressors. PTSD is essentially a “memory injury” where the brain refuses to believe the danger has passed.

Common Red Flags:

• Intrusive Memories: Flashbacks, nightmares, or “body memories” where you feel the trauma physically.

• Hyper-vigilance: Constantly scanning a room for exits or feeling like something bad is about to happen.

• Emotional Numbing: Feeling “checked out” or disconnected from your body and the people around you.

How We Help: We are a trauma-focused facility. We don’t just ask “what’s wrong with you”; we ask “what happened to you?” Our specialists help you process stored trauma through evidence-based care.

Trauma Self-Test

Take Our Free Trauma Self-Test
Unresolved trauma is often the “silent driver” behind eating disorders and addiction. This test helps you identify if past experiences are still dictating your current behaviors and coping mechanisms.

Signs of Stored Trauma:

• Difficulty with Trust: Chronic struggles with intimacy or feeling safe in relationships.

• Physical Stress Responses: Digestive issues, chronic pain, or a “tight” chest that doctors can’t explain.

• Dissociation: Feeling like you are watching your life happen from a distance.

How We Help: At Revelare, we use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and somatic work to help your brain finally “file away” the trauma so it no longer triggers your present-day nervous system. Our goal is to help you rebuild a sense of safety and trust within yourself.

Identifying these patterns in your own life is an act of profound courage. It marks the moment you move from a place of uncertainty to a place of clarity, trading the “3:00 AM questions” for concrete insights. However, recognizing the symptoms is only the beginning of the journey. Because mental health challenges in women are often intertwined with trauma and unique physiological factors, a specialized approach is required to move beyond simple symptom management and into true, lasting restoration. At Revelare Recovery, we go deeper than the surface level of a diagnosis.

Our women-only center in Atlanta is designed to be a sanctuary where you can explore the “root causes” of your distress in a safe, trauma-informed environment. Whether your self-test results point toward a single struggle or a complex overlap of several conditions, our clinical team is equipped to provide the integrated care necessary to calm your nervous system and help you rediscover your authentic self. If you are ready to see how we translate these initial insights into a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan, we invite you to explore our full range of services. From specialized therapies to a supportive community of women who truly understand your experience, discover the path forward on our Mental Health Program Overview page.

SUD (Substance Use Disorder) Self-Tests

For many women, substances act as a “biological reset button” used to manage emotional overwhelm or numbing out from stress. In our fast-paced society, heavy drinking or “pill use” is often normalized as a way to cope with the pressures of work and home life, making it difficult to recognize when a habit has become a dependency. These tests provide a confidential mirror to your current habits, helping you see the compulsion behind the use.

Alcohol Addiction Self-Test

Take Our Free Alcohol Addiction Self-Test
Alcohol is the most socially accepted drug in our culture, which can make identifying an addiction incredibly difficult. If you’ve been drinking more than you intend, using alcohol to cope with stress, or noticing that it’s affecting your mood or daily life, you may be wondering if it is a sign of a larger issue.

• The “One Drink” Myth: Frequently promising yourself you will only have one or two, but ending up finishing the bottle. Loss of control is a primary symptom.

• Morning Regret: Waking up with guilt, shame, or memory gaps (blackouts).

• Using to Cope: Needing a drink to steady your nerves, handle social anxiety, or fall asleep. When alcohol becomes a medication rather than a beverage, dependency is likely forming.

Drug Addiction Self-Test

Take Our Free Drug Addiction Self-Test
Drug dependency can escalate rapidly, yet many women convince themselves they are in control because they haven’t “hit rock bottom.” Addiction is defined by the compulsion to use despite negative consequences, not by how much you have lost yet.

• Tolerance & Withdrawal: Needing more of the substance to get the same effect, or feeling physically sick and irritable when it wears off.

• Mental Energy: Spending significant time planning how to get the drug, using it, or recovering from its effects.

• Risk-Taking: Engaging in dangerous behaviors or neglecting family and work responsibilities due to drug use.

Prescription Misuse Self-Test

Take Our Free Prescription Misuse Self-Test
Women are frequently prescribed medication for physical pain or anxiety. This test offers a specialized look at when “taking as directed” has transitioned into a dependency that you no longer feel in control of.

• Signs to Watch For: Taking medication in higher doses than recommended, “doctor shopping” to obtain new prescriptions early, or feeling unable to get through the week without using them.

• Emotional Pleading: Resorting to manipulation or guilt-tripping to obtain more medication, insisting you “need” it to handle daily pain or stress.

Our Approach: We provide a safe haven for women to recover, focusing on the trauma that often drives the need to numb out. Our integrated clinical model allows us to treat the addiction while simultaneously managing the mental health condition the medication was originally intended to treat. Our team specializes in treating complex substance use disorders by digging into the root causes and helping you build a life that doesn’t require chemical escape.

Eating Disorder Self-Tests

As a leader in eating disorder treatment in Atlanta, we know that these conditions are rarely just about food—they are about a fractured relationship between the mind and the body. Often, these behaviors start as a way to manage stress or regain a sense of control, but they quickly become a cage. These tests are designed to help you identify the silent struggles women face with food, weight, and self-image in a private, supportive way.

Anorexia Nervosa Self-Test

Take Our Free Anorexia Nervosa Self-Test
Anorexia is often driven by an intense fear of weight gain and a distorted body image. It is more than just “dieting”; it is a clinical condition where restriction becomes a primary way of coping with emotional pain. This self-test helps you reflect on your relationship with food and whether your habits have crossed into a dangerous territory.

• Common Signs: Rigid rules around “safe” foods, obsessive calorie counting, or continuing to feel “large” despite significant weight loss.

• The Physical Toll: Noticing hair thinning, feeling constantly cold, or the loss of a menstrual cycle.

Bulimia Nervosa Self-Test

Take Our Free Bulimia Nervosa Self-Test
Bulimia thrives in secrecy and the cycle of shame. It is characterized by periods of binging followed by “compensatory behaviors” to prevent weight gain. Because many women with bulimia maintain a “normal” weight, the struggle often goes unnoticed by loved ones for years.

• The Cycle: Feeling a total loss of control during a meal, followed by an immediate, frantic need to “undo” the calories through purging, fasting, or excessive exercise.

• Signs to Watch For: Frequent trips to the bathroom after meals, damaged tooth enamel, or chronic sore throats.

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) Self-Test

Take Our Free Binge Eating Disorder Self-Test
Binge Eating Disorder is the most common eating disorder, yet it carries a heavy burden of silence. Unlike bulimia, BED does not involve purging, which often leads to intense feelings of disgust and powerlessness.

• Key Indicators: Eating much more rapidly than normal, eating until uncomfortably full, and eating large amounts of food even when not physically hungry.

• Emotional Impact: Feeling a deep sense of “numbing out” while eating, followed by intense distress and depression once the episode ends.

Orthorexia Self-Test

Take Our Free Orthorexia Self-Test
Orthorexia is a modern struggle where a focus on “clean,” “pure,” or “healthy” eating becomes a rigid obsession. While it may start as a wellness journey, it can transition into a disorder that limits your social life, damages your health, and consumes your mental energy.

• Warning Signs: Eliminating entire food groups without a medical reason, experiencing extreme anxiety when “safe” foods aren’t available, and judging your self-worth based on the “purity” of your diet.

How We Help: Our Eating Disorder Treatment Program at Revelare Recovery is holistic and designed to create lasting life changes. We utilize RO-DBT (Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and specialized nutrition counseling to help you move from managing symptoms to uncovering the root causes. Our integrative approach helps you gain control over your thoughts and emotions, empowering you to reclaim a healthy, flexible relationship with food and your body.

Knowledge is the beginning of your reclamation. If your self-test results have left you with questions, reach out to Revelare Recovery today. Our compassionate team is ready to help you unveil your true self and move toward lasting freedom.
