I definitely feel like this. Becoming a peer specialist could be a good way to give back by helping someone else who is struggling with a mental illness. I applied to train and was accepted but my symptoms were still too bad to actually attend the training.
I'm still at the point where I'm struggling a little and need to focus on staying put where I am and continuing to work in accounting for a nonprofit. But I feel like I could be doing something so much more impactful.
So yes I definitely wonder what I could do with my mental illness.
