I can't have calmness and i worry I'm getting sick. And it all began with sickness

[Against_the_current]

I fell asleep in the afternoon and woke up nauseous. Sis is also sick rn but it's just a cold, she's not nauseous. I'm stressing up so much about what to study that I'm getting sick. I wonder whether to continue psychology as a master's degree or get logopedics. Mom isn't talking much (weird, and also worrying me) but yesterday she just told me "you choose but you can't even bear me and ur sis, what are you gonna do if someone comes to you r*ped". I don't think i will open private practice but the thing that logopedics gives me it's that it's 2 years and i can have health insurance and my parents looking after me for one more year otherwise i was going for the psychology. It's so much stress i feel sick. And getting sick at the first place brought me here, in this position, in home. Also wondering whether to give up my accommodation. All friends also left me. All therapists left me. I don't get money here for myself which to spend on therapy

I haven't heard of logooedics. I got a BA degree in psychology, but it was when it wasn't so expensive for 4 years at college. ( The first two years could be completed at a community college). My opinion is that, if you are interested in being a client of a psychologist ( or clinical social worker), or being the psychologist, it is important to know more about it. It is not a magic panacea for solving life problems. And "helping people" is a talent or gift that some have, and passing academic classes, getting a degree, or a license to practice doesn't necessarily show that you have that particular talent . You may have many other talents, however. I don't depend on my degrees for the ability to solve problems. I depend on experience. Talking about things can help just as much, if you find a good friend and is free! I know the APA will not agree! Hey, that rhymes. If logopedics is only 2 years, you will get practical experience sooner and so can decide sooner if you be are suited to it. Try to think of areas you don't normally think applies to you as a skill or talent you might have. Have an open mind.

I looked up logopedics abd now I know what it is. That woukd be a very important occupation. Many people who have speech defects can ve treated as if they are not snart. I don't know many people right now, only one, who has a speech impediment. She is extremely inteligent, but most people won't take the time to find that out. She gets leftout of the conversation. I don't know if you are feeling well enough yet to concentrate on an intensive study, but being only a two-year program to complete, instead of a Master's degree, you could help a lot of people and the results can be measured and really make a difference. I hope you can have enough peaceful periods to study and a place to live where you can relax!

Sorry about the typos. I'm really a good speller, but my keyboard on phone is very small, and letters too close together! I think my fingers are too big.😅

[SoporRose in reply to PuzzleArt]

Phone keyboards were invented by demons (I think of Crowley from _Good Omens_).

[SoporRose]

Logopedics is a new idea, no? I could see you doing well in that field. As always, I think you would make a stellar researcher.

I hope you and your sister feel better soon. You may well have a virus in addition to your stress. It is the season.

[Against_the_current in reply to SoporRose]

Yeah. Thank you. I also want to be a researcher but it's not secure i will find a job and it would take four more years of university after master's. Psych would be easier but we have logopedics in the university here (but i can't enrol) but can teach

[SoporRose]

What does it mean that you can't enroll but can teach? Is teaching something you want to do?

[Melody717]

I would continue with what you enjoy! If your mom doesn't have faith in you, know that we all do!

I have never met you, but you have shared some important events in your inner, mental life in addition to some chaos in your surroundings. I think you get quite a lot of responses because people "identify"with you. I put identify in quotes because it us such an overused word that it probably has a vague, confusing meaning. I seem to recognize the part about your trying to make changes without seeing any obvious improvement. I know I got kind of perturbed once when my daughter piped up and said to me: "You're acting like the grass is greener on the other side of the fence!" With any kind of advice, you have to put it in the context of your own experience. You can listen to it, but then have to find out how it fits with your own experience and personality. I can remember feeling like my situation was in chaos all the time. I think your name describes what kind of energy that can take. The frequency of times like that and the intensity if that has gradually lessened for me. It is one of the most distressing and serious of times, while you are waiting for improvement and see nothing at all to encourage you. I think a lot of people here are rooting for you.
