xxmadsenxxI think I might want to change my major to Psychology. Who knows if I'll ever finish school...but we'll see. I just think it's really interesting...especially Abnormal Psychology. I had a test in my Abnormal Psychology class today and I think I did really well. I'm really interested in that stuff, and it comes easily to me. I could easily diagnose 15-20 different disorders, I think. I think it would be fun to do something with that. Or with substance abuse treatment, although I'd have to be clean for a LONG time to be able to deal with that. Most substance abuse counselors that I have met have a history with substance abuse though, so I think I could do it. I actually think it helps to have that history...it makes you more relatable. I know that I have been more able to relate and trust professionals that have that background than those that don't. They understand what it's like.
Who knows if I'll EVER get a degree though...and especially a higher degree, which is what it would take to work in that field.
Damn ADD. That's a huge part of my frustration with school, but I can't take anything for it. I tried Strattera, since it's non-stimulant, but that didn't work and it just made me sick and miserable. I can't take Adderall or anything like that, given my past, so I'm just stuck with trying to deal with my ADD and get through school with it on my own. It's hard, but so far so good I guess.
Ugh. I only got about two and a half hours of sleep last night. I'm dead tired today.
