Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So by Mark Vonnegut
I've thought about teaching! It's definitely an option if I can't get into grad school. I'm not sure how qualified I would be, but I feel like that's a personal issue, you know? I feel so old and so young and I'm not sure I'm authoritative enough to actually teach people! It would be awesome though.
Psych is SO FREAKING COOL but the science-y parts were way over my head! I've thought about a masters in guidance counseling or something too, since I have a BA instead of a BS. I'm excited that you're going to be out there helping people in ways I can't! I've heard it's a tough (but rewarding!) job. If you haven't read them yet you should check out Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So: A Memoir and Monkey Mind: A Memoir of Anxiety. Those books completely altered my views on mental illness in a good way!
