Perhaps I can get certified in it after I get my Music Education degree. Anyway, I almost decided to go to the college for Psychology at the last minute, because I got into Northeastern (a really fantastic college in Boston), but I decided to stick with Music Ed. I still want to take many many classes for it though. I will have to quite a few for childhood psychology, since I'll be study to be a teacher, but I want to take even more!

One of my favorite things in Psychology that I learned was behavioral and personality disorders, like Schizophrenia a la John Nash, and things like fugue, OCD, classic conditioning and Freud's theories like the Oedipus Complex. Body image disorders also really interest me, because I can relate to them deeply, and it fascinates me.

Is anyone majoring in Psychology? Interested in it like I am?
You and me are very alike Rye. I sometimes wish I was a psychologist who could play the piano. I want to be Frasier Crane.
I know, right? xD Plus the photography aspect.

As for the talk to friends and family, I honestly could not talk to my family about my current problems. They have no idea that I suffer really bad bouts of depression every few weeks, and that I'm so unhappy with myself. They would laugh and tell me to get over myself. They would not take it seriously, or even try to understand, because they're in the practice of "if you ignore a problem long enough, it goes away." The few times they've seen me utterly crushed about how I see my body and crying, they've actually YELLED at me. So yeah. xD

I talk to my friends a lot about it, though, and it helps valuably, but I really need more than that. The majority of them tell me that I should see a therapist when I can. I probably will one day, when I'm braver.
