I wanted to be a counselor so badly and I went to school for it for a year and did really well. But, I have so many differenet disorders and issues that I came to realize that I probably wouldnt make a good counselor. I am really unstable, I have anger issues, I get overly emotional...I thought I would make a good counselor because I am a good listener, I know a lot about the different disorders because I research everthing...(i have been diagnosed with everything and I am so fascinated with it I have wanted to learn everything I can). BUT, I feel that the counselor/therapist should be "healthier" than the patient...and I am not healthy. I might be wrong about that, but that is my opinion.
I hate feeling like I cannot be a counselor...if I was just dealing wiht depression or anxiety I might be ok with it..but there are too many other factors involved.
