Instruction:
On the next page you find 20 statements. With these statements we wish to get an impression of how you have felt during the past two weeks. For example:
	I feel relaxed
If you feel that this statement is not true at all, place a cross in the right box; like this:
I feel relaxed	yes, that is true	X							no, that is not true
If you feel that this statement is not true at all, place a cross in the right box; like this:
I feel relaxed	yes, that is true							X	no, that is not true
If you feel that this statement in not “yes, that is true”, but also not “no, that is not true”, place a cross in the box that is most in accordance with how you have felt.
For example, if you feel relaxed, but not very relaxed, place a cross in one of the boxes close to “yes, that is true": like this:
I feel relaxed	yes, that is true			X					no, that is not true
Do not skip any statement and place only one cross for each statement.
