i want to be a psychiatrist when i am older but i think i am depressed and i am a self harmer.
Do you think i will still be able to become a psychiatrist when i am older?
Because i havent told anyone how i feel because i'm afraid i won't be able to fulfill my dream if i seek professional help.
Please help!
Thanks x
it's wierd though because my worst nightmare would be going to see a psychiatrist yet i want to be one...
do you think you can lie to a psychiatrist atall or is it like IMPOSSIBLE?
 
that's weird cos i am in the EXACT same position as you. i think no matter if you get help now or not you will be able to do it. you can do anything you put your mind to.
it Just shows that you are more of a stronger person if you deal with all this stuff now ... you will become stronger, independent and more able human being. you can do anything you set your mind to and don't u DARE let anyone tell you otherwise.
PLUS you would end You being a better psychiatrist in the long run because you can give examples and speak from personal experience. that's the one thing you would have over everyone else.
personal experience.
wishing you all the best
