I almost became a psychologist. I interviewed one in my late
   teens. I saw one a couple of times as a kid. The only thing that
   helped me was Biofeedback training when I was 11. "Breath
   through my feet" "warm bottle in the sand" while I made a
   computer Beeping noise go down with my mind.

   Anyway, I asked about the difficulties of being a psychologist.
   He told me. I asked about the 50% suicide rate among
   psychologists heard of. He said it was bit exaggerated but yes
   it happens more often than most people know.. I asked "is it
   because they're searching for their own solutions and some of
   them despair because they can't help people as much as they want
   to?" and after a long explanation that was over my head, I just
   said, "sooo...?" - he said "basically, yes."

   One interview with one psychologist but it was enough to know
   that "yes, I could do this as a profession" but "not the way
   it's set up".

   The most disappointing thing was finding out they really can't
   give advice... not overtly. I like giving advice, even if it's
   wrong, but I try darned hard to be right.
