I am a Communications major and have been extremely interested lately in studying Psychology. I’m a very observant and aware person and want to learn more about the psych and how beings work mentally. I battle with OCD, depression and anxiety and been curious about how it came about such as other mental illnesses. I’m curious about learning about myself. I woke up one day, “I want to study Psychology!”

The thing is though, I’m supposed to be graduating next year at my university. I plan on attending Graduate School and my parents say I should do Public Sociology.

My mom said that I shouldn’t because I dropped a psych class in high school but honestly, I dropped it because I was anxious and afraid working with others. I feared embarrassment. This was in 2012.

I’m not sure what to do.

Help? Advice?
