I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post, so forgive me since I'm new here. I have been depressed for quite a while, and I am slowly trying to get out of it. Through my experience I think I want to become a therapist. I want to help people battle what I went through. Not enough people talk about it or know how to get help. So I was wondering how to get started with that.

I am 28 yrs old with a Bachelor's in Political Science. I do have a minor in Psychology with an emphasis on Personality and Social Psychology. I am hoping that will be enough for graduate programs to consider accepting me. My grades weren't the best though unfortunately. (my gpa was a 2.8) And it's not that I'm not smart. I am. I was severely depressed and suicidal at the time so I was not able to focus much on my studies. Do you think I have a chance to be accepted to a masters degree program? Sorry for ranting, I just wanted to seek an opinion. Thanks.
