In fact, I had one friend so mad I wasn't doing better and she said you are so smart and school is so easy. I wished I could swap brains with you.
See?
It made her mad I did not apply myself more but she had no idea what was going on at home and I never told a soul.
Most abused women don't tell.

I want to get my degree in psychology to go into research. I want to get my master's. My therapist, who is a psychiatrist, thinks I should consider med school. But that is so long. Maybe a research psychologist is a short thing to do. I don't know.

Speak with an adivsor; they can help you decide.

Remember, "you are" messages are usually lies someone else is telling about US. How dare anyone think they know us?

> I will GIVE IT A TRY.congratulations! You have nothing to lose! I think that thinking about stuff causes us to feel even more fear. Once we actually DO it, it isn't as bad as we made it out to be.

You are SO welcome, (((rsk)): I wanted to get my degree in psychology (after all, I counsel abused women), but may hve to stick to sociology, because I just know I cannot pass a math/statistics course (argghhh, and I work in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at a University).I am a born dancer, singer, writer and poetess....so anything math, computer related....I have a terrible struggle.
Go for it, gurlfriend!
Hugs, Sassy
