I had a psychotic episode and was admitted voluntarily.
I also had a really nasty bout of depression after being discharged.
I'm still under the care of the early intervention team.
I REALLY want to apply to uni to do nursing (Mental Health ...predictably) but I'm worried that my past problems will mean I wont even be considered.
I feel better than I've ever felt, ADs have changed my life (a bit dramatic but true!) I feel ready for a new challenge, ready to help others. I'm going to apply for the course and hope for the best.
Any MH professionals on here that can give me any advice? Anyone with a history of MH probs that has gone on to have a sucessful career in MH?
