The rest of my day has been fine. I finally turned in the keys to my old place, walked on my walking pad, and watched America's Got Talent. I also found a free career test that the University of Arizona had on their website. It took about 30 minutes to take. The results suggested a lot of professions with kids/caring types of professions like teacher, pediatrician, and children's counselor. It had some other helping professions as well.

For a bit, I was in grad school to become a counselor. I had to quit because of a really bad depressive episode. Then, I got sick. Part of me would consider going back to school, this time for a school counselor. But, there are some factors I'd have to figure out. A big one is that I do not have anyone to do practice sessions with, which is something I was having to do on a regular basis before. At the time, I had a boyfriend who was willing to help me. Now, I don't know anyone who would want to help me.

Another thing for me to remember is that I was manic when I very quickly decided to go back to school for counseling. So, if I do decide to go back to school for anything, I need to make sure I take the proper time to research and think about it this time.

edit: I just saw I received an email asking me if I'd like to return to school to finish my counseling degree. So, I have a contact person if I want to reach out and ask someone any questions.
