Hello,
I am looking for some advice about a possible career for me. I struggle with depression and anxiety, although I feel I have a better control of it now. From Grade 6 - Grade 12 (graduated HS in 2012), I was an academic champion. I received all kinds of accolades, competed and scored well in speech competitions,and did well in sports.
Upon leaving HS and entering Uni, I wanted to go into medicine because I had a deep love of the human body. I was also considering law, politics, or psychology because I have strong interests in those areas. Sadly, my father hates lawyers and did not want me to pursue a degree in a field with no jobs. I decided that an anatomy and cell biology degree was right for me. Once I got into university (Sept 2012), I did very poorly in my chemistry, cell biology, and math classes. On the flip side, I scored very well in my psychology, ethics, and English classes. I also realised in my second year of university(Sept 2013-April 2014) that I had anxiety and depression issues. I still was of the mindset that I could continue down the science path because my poor grades were a result of depression. This mindset caused my to do poorly in my 3rd year as well (Sept 2014-Apr 2015). After that year, I decided to take a year off from school. It was very painful because I truly love to learn. Thankfully, I was able to get help for the depression.
My parents (both of them have their suns in Taurus) do not know about my academic troubles and do not believe that I have depression because apparently no one in our family has this illness (we are a heavily Christian, pure african family).
I am going back to school in September of this year and I will be going back to my original plan of a psychology degree and from there, going to law school or finding a job in politics. Nothing is absolute, but I'm interested in seeing what the stars say about my current path. Thanks in advance!
