Oh to have the ability be a doctor someday and be restricted by my poor mental health https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Nachdenkliches Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nachdenkliches Gesicht">

*and NOT be smh

I& #39;ve always wanted to be a doctor since I was a little kid, so much so that I& #39;ve looked anything I could at the time. When I found out (clinical) psychology was a thing I was so fucking excited and I knew it was something I& #39;d want to do. 1

Before I discovered psychology I really wanted to be a surgeon or a neurologist. After I figured out psychology was a thing, it& #39;s something that I& #39;ve ways hyper focused on for many years now.

Learning about whatever I could was always an adventure for me, one that I could never be bored of. Reading all of the studies, diagnostic manuals (mainly the DSM-V, but now the section for mental disorders in the ICD-11), talking to doctors when possible, etc. -

Has always been enjoyable for me. I& #39;m not sure why, but it just is. Hopefully someday when I& #39;m not as restricted I can fulfil that dream and begin to help as many people as I can.

I& #39;m not certain what this thread was meant to be, but it& #39;s here and it exists now. I can promise this definitely wasn& #39;t brought on by watching various shows about this kind of thing or anything like that /s https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤠" title="Gesicht mit Cowboyhut" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Cowboyhut">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Nachdenkliches Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nachdenkliches Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
