Am I ok to do this????

[Brownie]

Hi everyone,

I have decided to go to college this year to be a phycology major so that i can be a therapist/phycologist. I want to mainly be a specialist with panic, anxiety and all other realted disorders, but I feel like I would be sort of a hypocrit being that i myself am still suffering with these dissorders myself. I am going to be taking all the pych courses I can because i want to help anyone I can. I've had my mind on this for a while and i have finally decided to go forward with it. But now i am second guessing myself! I dont know if anyone is going to reply to this but any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for listening

Hi Christie,

I did a psychology degree a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed learning about anxiety in more detail although I can't say that it has really helped me overcome it. I think you should go for it. As you have anxiety yourself, you will know exactly what other people are going through.

Good Luck

Hi Christie,

yes go for it[^]. Another member who is away in Las Vegas at present getting married has just finished her degree in it.

Don't let the anxiety hold you back,
love Tess

You are the best person for the job- you will know what your patients are describing and you will know tips and secrets to resolving panic.

I am tempted to do a course of this naature at uni this year too- good luck, i hope everyting goes well xx

I would definately go for it ! [^]

You aren't just spouting text from a book, you have realife experience.
What better way to help someone, than to give them the wisdom of your experience and share your knowlege.

Good luck and go for it !

Love, light and Best wishes

Hello,
I definately agree with the other posts. You should go for it? You can relate like no other. I wish there were more empathetic therapist!

Thanks guys for the great feedback it helped, a lot! . But ya sure its not really being hypocritical? being that i myself am not even close to being "Cured" of these disorders??

Hi Christie,
I think it's a great idea!! Just think of how many things you'll be able to learn about panic and anxiety. You'll probably be cured before you have your degree!!!!!!
