I'm happy with the job I've had the last few months, but it's not my dream career. It's the kind of job where most of the employees are high schoolers or college students wanting work experience and a paycheck, while I have a college degree and need a living income. I've always been an academic kind of person (English, Literature, and History were my strengths in college),so I'd like to go back to school for a higher degree and get a job in a professional field. My degree would probably best qualify me for teaching, but I'm not sure I would enjoy that.

I've looked at going into law school, but I'm worried that with my past issues with self-harm and suicidal behavior, and my ongoing issues with depression and an eating disorder, would lead to problems passing the bar exam. There's a section where they evaluate if someone is morally and mentally suitable to perform as a lawyer, and they can actually request medical records.

I've also thought about psychology. I've always enjoyed documentaries about how the brain works and such, so I can see that being an interesting field, and if I went into therapy, it would also give me the chance to help people who have gone through some of the same issues as me. The problem with that is to get a master's or PhD in psychology, I'd have to hold a Bachelor's in that field, so I'd have to backtrack and go through undergrad again.

Does anyone with experience in either of those fields have any insight to offer? Or can anyone think of another career path I might want to consider?
