So, I've been suffering from mental illnesses since i was about 12. I am now 37. I got my BA in psych and thought I wanted to be a therapist. Then I got really sick and realized it wasn't something I can do. So now I want to go to grad school, a lifelong dream of mine. I want to get a MA in social psychology and hopefully a PhD after that. I want to do research and teach at the college level. Specifically, I want to do research on prejudice and stigma of people with mental illness, it's causes and effects. So I guess I am just asking for a good wish from anyone. It is a big step and I am afraid of failing and realizing that my mental illnesses have won and that my dreams will never be fulfilled.
