So this is how I developed an interest towards psychology and how it went from not being on my radar to being one of the only topics I could think about. I will in middle school when my parents got divorced and the house shifting, the fights, feeling abandoned and unwanted made a smashing cocktail that had me getting bad grades, isolating thus losing friends and basically, it took away who I was. So from a cheerful, ambitious person who always had a flask full of confidence with her I became someone that wouldn't want to do anything, cried every morning and became vanilla. After a couple of months of not wanting to exist, a classmate suggested I consult the school councellor and I had nothing to lose so I did. Just ranting and crying to her every morning had me finding solutions to my problems. After I healed a bit, I grew curious about how she knew the underlying thought to all my elaborate narratives of my problems and how she not only helped me become independent to solve my own issues but also had me stand in the other person's shoes, why they're doing what they're doing and how it's more about what they're going through rather than what they feel about me. The mind and how it works intrigued me, studying people and their actions became a hobby and when I began studying psych as a subject it was everything and more than I had imagined. Helping someone get out of the prison they've made in their head, helping them find reasons to live, being a conduit in them connecting with themselves, liking their own company and them being genuinely happy, according to me is the greatest thing one can do and if I can make even a kernel of difference in this big bad world then that's enough for me 🙂

Hey, very nice to know about your experience, so glad you found psychology and you were able to find help. More power to you ! Good luck and hope you're better now .
This is very well written and I would like to say that it is absolutely amazing to see you share your story. More power to you 🙂 But one thing I would like to add is that, we shouldn't look at psychology as trying to help people come out of their prisons, cause then, what if we have clients who we cannot help, that will for sure make us try harder. Which will really take a toll on us. But i would also like to add that you are very strong and i am so happy to see you interested in the subject 🙂
Interesting, Nice writeup, I hope You don't stop and continue with same spirit. All the best.
Crying is not a weakness. I can understand how strong you are. All the best. Continue as you are.
My story is a but similar to yours, just that my school counsellor wasn't helpful, and there was no divorce, and endless fights, even today. Are you okay now? and even though I'm a complete stranger, I'd like to ask if there's any problem, you can tell me or talk to me. I;ll always be there, and you should believe yourself. You're the best, okay?
Thank you for sharing your experience....it's really great that your turned a tough phase phase into bringing something positive to the world...very motivating
Hey there ! Thanks for sharing and more power to you 🌸 💕
