Also to help ground me back into society and become an agent for change rather then keeping it all to myself.
I got extreme deja vu the moment I signed up and confirmed the course and I know it was the right decision, it felt like I had already made the decision even before it came to my mind to study psychology.
Yes I agree, it's one way to look at the world, it's pretty fascinating. My advice... when you take abnormal psychology, don't diagnose yourself or your friends, or let other people diagnose you lol. Never took psychology classes in university actually, but friends took it and were assigning each other different disorders. I know there's a "syndrome" for that (as a joke of course).
That's awesome you want to become an agent of change! I was actually in the public health field before and we learned/attempted to do a lot about that. The best thing is self knowledge. Really. Asking yourself who you are and what you believe in, and why you believe change needs to happen. Often times it becomes about the "should/could." Lots of "mean green meme" types who believe things should be a certain way and get fanatical about it.
