I really wouldn't worry about your GAF. Mental health types are required to assess all axes under the DSM-IV diagnostic rules, so they have to assign you a GAF. I got my records from an old pdoc and my GAF ranged from 50-55. It was probably due to suicidal ideation. It was no big deal. I knew I wasn't functioning too well, or why would I have come to see him? I've found out a lot worse things than that by reading my medical records.
However, I inferred from your previous post that you are familiar with your MMPI scores? Do you feel that they describe you? I'm a 2-7-8 and that really describes me. I like the MMPI way better than DSM IV diagnoses.
