Well after going through several miscarriages, almost losing my little girl at 9 mths of age, after going through difficult pregnancies, experiencing depression anxiety, feelings of trauma, loss, going through the almost loss of my marriage of 22yrs. Having so many things that seemed to keep me broken and lost of why all of this has happened and what am I meant to do with my life. Well, it has now hit me like a lightening bolt, of what I am meant to do.
I have gone through all of this for a reason, and to be honest I felt like it was a direction in life I wanted to persue after my first two miscarriages, but tbh, life got in the way, it just mustn't have been the right time.
Well, now it is the right time, my husband is fully supportive, and I am so excited at my decision.
I want to help people, I want to become a councellor, and help people through the most difficult time of their lives.
I am going to go to university as a mature aged student, (very mature aged lol) and study for a bachelor of social science degree or bachelor of psychology degree.
I don't think I have been more sure of anything in my life, and I have to say, I feel so very excited. I know a bit late in life, but better late than never I say. I feel like it seems to be a calling. I am leading more towards the bachlelor of psychology. It will go for four years, and I'm thrilled at my decision.
I just feel like I am meant to help people, apart just from being a mother and a wife and what a fitting way to face the rest of my life.
Thank you TT, there had to be a reason why I experienced all I have, now I feel I know why. Crazy I know, but I guess these thing needed to happen to get me to move into this direction of my life, to make it a better future, and what better way of one feeling good about yourself than to help those in need.
It is so great to see you excited and been able to move forward. I think you will do great because you have so much to offer to help people. Good luck.
Re: Finally I know what I am meant to do in my life
Oh csab...ive have been wondering how you are. This is fantastic to read. Its an awesome feeling when you just know what it is you want to do. And you will be amazing at it
Thank you, kazzo, fo3, traveller and Jaycee. I appreciate all your support. Now here I am doing my research on fitting everything I want to do in our life. I love how my dh is keeping me motivated to do what I want with this, he keeps calling me his little councellor. I did tell him that he won't get charged for my services. Lol.
That is great. I am/was a psychologist and I love it! Hard work (I did a 3 year degree, honours and then masters) but totally worth it. As soon as I did my first psych subject at uni I knew it was for me. There is a balance between the science/academic stuff and the touchy feely relational side which suits me as I couldn't do a job with just one of these.
Congrats ..sounds to me that you will really enjoy the challenges and enjoyments towards getting your degree in psychology or social science. Good luck
Great to hear hun!
I know exactly what you mean. I've wanted to be a teacher for years + years (since I was 10/11) and have always had something stand in my way. I'm now in my first week of 4 long years of my bachelor of education
Finally I know what I am meant to do in my life
