Sorry for the lack of posts recently. Rehearsals are getting the better of me. This is being written far too late to be comfortable and expect that the coherency of this post may be highly debatable. And it'll be short.
A thing that I personally have been struggling with recently is my future. Picturing where I want to be in 5 or 10 years. A high school drama teacher or a school councillor are the two that spring to mind with the degree that's in motion.
But to be either, especially the second one, you need to be relatively easygoing, with your head screwed on right, and quite level headed. And that worries me. With no actual progress in my own councilling in regards my depression (dysthymia) I'm starting to wonder whether I've made the right career choice. To support students in particular, you need to be grounded and present. Instead I am often hiding, pretending. How can I support students in their own life and work, tell them how to deal with their problems, if I can't even do that myself. It's a problem that I worry about a little, and hope I'm not be only one hoping that their depression will not cause them to have to limit where they go in life. And knowing that people out there do do that, just makes it worse.
