hello i luv ur blog <3 im in college right now and my grades are shit but i really want to get my masters in clinical psych & i was wondering how feasible u think it is to even get into grad school with a low gpa ?

Hi friend, thanks for the kind words. Thinking back on it, I don’t recall if my graduate program had a minimum gpa one had to have to gain entry in the program. Although we did have a minimum gpa we had to maintain once in the program in order to stay in the program. If I had any advice when it comes to academics, perhaps changing your course of study for your bachelors. My graduate cohort had people who had studied all sorts of different things for their bachelors degree. You just have to have a bachelors degree to get into the masters program, it doesn’t matter what it’s in, so perhaps you could find something easier to do. Otherwise, I would suggest seeing if there’s a mental health club on campus or maybe getting a job in a related field like being an inpatient mental health tech at a hospital. Because graduate programs require an interview portion in order to gain entry and this gives you an opportunity to kind of sell yourself so to speak. Having experience in a related field is something you could draw on if maybe the academic side isn’t so strong. And honestly most of being a good counselor comes down to your way of being, how you can hold space for someone, and the rapport you build with people to make them feel safe, seen, and heard. That’s not something that’s determined by how well you did in college. So if it’s something you’re determined to do, I think it’s definitely possible with some hard work. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

Just now my therapist was like “imagine you had the power to live in a world where you didn’t put everything off indefinitely, but instead you lived in the world where everything was just completed?”

And I was like “… sounds fake but OK, ha ha”

And she says “you do live in that world. You just have to think you deserve it.”

So anyway that’s when my head exploded 🤯

Just realized that it’s been 15 years since my ADHD diagnosis, 25 years since my mom (z”l) died, and 15-20 years since everyone had caller ID on their phone and a texting app in their pocket … and I still am paralyzed with guilt about the disorganized state of the entryway to my house, and generally don’t live in my living room because WHAT IF SOMEONE CAME OVER UNANNOUNCED???!?

Like the “hide the couches, we can’t tell people we sit!” thing is so real in my head? It’s a fossilized fear that has absolutely nothing to do with reality.

(Also, I have a murderous attack cat, so no one wants to come to my house anyway? And he’s twelve, so that’s not new either.)

But noooooo my brain is still stuck in the mid-1980s when my mom would just “drop in” on her sister or stepmother for a cup of coffee, and God forbid if they were engaged in housework or not dressed and ready for visitors. Back when people still just randomly knocked on your door and tried to sell you stuff!

Back when I would come home from school, and my mom — brilliant, bored, and almost certainly exhibiting symptoms of OCD — would have rearranged the furniture in my bedroom and be sitting by a pile of crap on my bed that needed to be sorted and organized RIGHT NOW.

Nowadays, even my best friends — the ones I trust to talk me through a panic attack — still text me and knock on the door. Absolutely no one is going to barge into my home on zero notice and judge my housekeeping and/or dishabille. I broke up with the girlfriend who said my housekeeping made me “unfuckable” (and we’ve both had a lot of therapy since then).

But my nervous system apparently still considers this boundary violation to be a terrifying and constantly credible threat. Nice one, brain. Let’s fix this, yeah?
