Questions: 15 · 10 minutes

I expect to remain safe, but a supportive check-in would help.
I am uncertain and need another person or crisis professional to help me stay safe.
I am not confident I can stay safe because of current urges, intentions, preparations, or access to means.
3. When an ordinary setback happens, such as a rejected application or canceled plan, what meaning do you usually give it?
I generally see it as a difficult event rather than a message about God’s attitude toward me.
I briefly wonder whether God is displeased, but the thought usually passes.
I repeatedly interpret setbacks as punishment or warnings directed at me.

4. Suppose you hear a religious message centered on punishment. What tends to happen afterward?
I consider its context and decide for myself whether it applies.
I feel unsettled for a while but can regain perspective.
I replay it repeatedly and alter choices because I fear it was aimed at me.
I take it as proof that I am hated or condemned, and the resulting despair feels hard to manage.
5. During a strong wave of shame, how are eating, sleeping, hygiene, or other basic needs affected?
I generally maintain my basic routines.
One routine may slip briefly, but I recover without much disruption.
Several needs are repeatedly neglected because shame drains my motivation.
I become unable or unwilling to meet essential needs, putting my health or safety in danger.

I have not considered or taken preparatory steps.

I have not had those thoughts.
I had a brief passing thought, without wanting to act on it.
The thoughts have returned repeatedly, even though I do not currently intend to act.
The thoughts are strong or persistent, or I feel I might act on them.
8. How much time do you spend checking events, thoughts, or coincidences for signs that God is angry with you?
I do not engage in this kind of checking.
I notice myself doing it occasionally, then redirect my attention.
I check frequently, and it is difficult to stop without reassurance.
The checking or related rituals consume substantial time, disrupt daily life, or trigger intense panic.
9. When spiritual fear is weighing on you, what happens to your contact with supportive people?
I can usually tell at least one person that I am struggling.
I delay reaching out because explaining the fear feels uncomfortable.
I conceal most of it and withdraw, even when support is available.
I cut myself off because I believe my presence harms others or that I do not deserve help.
10. When a trusted person offers a compassionate interpretation of your faith, how are you able to receive it?
I can consider it without feeling that I must reject it.
It helps briefly, although doubts return later.
I struggle to believe it and repeatedly seek more reassurance.

I can accept the kindness while still taking responsibility for my actions.
I accept it, but I feel uneasy or undeserving for a while.
I distrust or pull away from the person because I feel unworthy of care.
I reject the kindness and seek suffering or punishment because receiving care feels forbidden.
13. How does fear of being unwelcome affect prayer, worship, or another spiritual practice that matters to you?
It does not keep me from participating in the ways I choose.
I sometimes hesitate, although I can usually continue.
I often avoid the practice because I expect condemnation or rejection.

I shut down or withdraw briefly but do not move toward self-harm.
I isolate for a long period or seek material that intensifies thoughts of death or punishment.
