Psychology is not a joke. You would make a very good one because you know first person what it's all about. I'm a psych nurse. Imagine that!!! I'm a darn good one because if one of my patients is suffering I'm at the doctors throat like a pit bull. I know what it's like to suffer. The other nurses are not like me nor do they have a sense of urgency I have when a patient is in crisis. Again, I know from personal experience what it's like to be in crisis.

Please don't let you mental illness dictate what you will do with your life. Sure it may slow you down a little, it took me longer to get my degree but I was determined and you can do it too. I think you'll see it from a different perspective when you've been stabilized and are feeling better.
