I had similar concerns when I was looking at career options. But I finally decided that mental health is my passion so now I'm now in school to be a therapist.

One of my therapists was really against me pursuing this career because she felt that I couldn't help others if I'm not well myself. She definitely has a point! That's why I'm working hard to get my issues under control. But I think having struggled with mental health issues makes us more empathetic to our future clients.
