RE: The Story Behind Project Asapers And Why I Decided To "Go For It".
You know, I don't admit this often, and getting ready to type this has me shaking just that fast.
I was put on SSRIs, they made me suicidal, so I got off them too fast and went bat shit crazy for a while. A long while. Permanent damage was done to my adrenals, I can tell by what my body does but no one will even do a physical exam. They labeled me crazy and nothing I say or do will ever be taken seriously by any doctor ever again. I have learned to be a damn fine herbalist and alternative healer because I had to. The fine papers they will hand you upon graduation will give you a license to ignore all the "crazy" people who come to you for help. I wish you the very best on your educational journey, but if you wish to be a healer that degree may be a big impediment for you to overcome one day.
Peace and love, my friend.
Thank you very much for your comment, I appreciate it.
The passion I have to help those who're suffering from mental illness comes deep down, on a personal level and the passion came to life after being treated like a crazy person myself. With no one to believe the things I said, I often felt lonely, and still does, but I've managed to handle things a little bit easier nowadays... And much of that is due to myself.
The reason I want to become a treatment assistant, and why I want to study this, is so that I can get a job and help these people when no one else will or does. I believe that my personal experience will show and I also believe that the ones I can and will help, will see that. I won't hide behind knowledge from a book. I'll use my own experience instead. That is also why I believe that I can make a difference.
If I did not believe you would be WONDERFUL at helping people, I would not have bothered to say what I did. Just never forget.... hugs!
