For those of you who have seen the show perception.
What does the main character do? I find it completely interesting learning different ways the brain and mind aorm. Especially in a mentally ill person. I guess like a psychiatrist. I'm 21 year old female and I'm at that point in my life where I am completely lost on what career path I want to go down. I'd really like to get into the whole paychology/mind/brain stuff. But I have no idea then differences of what. I'm not sure how to put it in exact words. I just know I'm really really interwsted in the whole idea. I've always wanted to work in a psych ward. But I don't want to be in the medical field. Ie. Nurse or doctor .. I just really want to see how far I can go within the mind and brain. And learn more about it. If anyone knows what I'm teying to say please. Help me. (link)
Hi sounds like you could become a Psychotherapist or something along the lines of this, most jobs that are about mental health tend to be in the Medical Field, unless you go towards teaching or being a lecturer like the guy in Perception, maybe have a look on google or ask someone at college.


I am a 14 year old female. I live in the United States. My grandmother is very ill. She lives in mexico. We found out on 4th of July that she was in the hospital. My mom is very very very strong, just like the rest of her family. It's just a couple of months ago she lost her sister, due to some heart issues. It seems that my grandmother is having the same issues that my aunt (the one who passed away), also had. Right when we found out, my mother and I wanted to go to Mexico to go see her. Although it isn't easy. My aunt lived in San Diego which is about 2 hours away, It was must easier to go visit her. While my grandmother lives in Mexico, a different country! Airline tickets and too expensive and I have a phobia so we decided we'd go driving there. We found out she had surgery and she was handling it just fine. Also we were suppose to leave on Thursday, July 11 but today Tuesday, July 09 we received a phone call. My grandmother was doing better a couple of days ago, and now they found out she has an infection and is very ill. Now we have to leave On Wednesday. Honestly I'm very scared. I get car sick easily, I get claustrophobic easily, its a full day and 3 hour drive. I am leaving for 2 weeks and I have never been away from my sister, father, and home for that long. It worries me that it might just be to much to handle and i'll just have a huge break down. I try really hard not to cry in front of my mother. I wanna be as strong as she is but I just hate the fact that I'm going to see her and the rest of my loved ones in such a bad mood. Please give me tips on how to comfort them and how to comfort myself! (link)
You are only 14 so don't expect to be able to handle everything just yet, the fact you are asking this and caring about it shows that you are very loving and kind towards your family and for that you should be very proud.

Try to stay in the moment, the best way to do this is to breathe deeply and try not to let your mind wander to tomorrow concentrate on the things you must do today.

When you are driving down make sure you keep your windows open in the car for fresh air and if you get claustrophobic ask your mom to stop for a bit.

I lost my aunty at 14 and I loved her so so much, but so i know how hard it is, the best thing you can do for your grandmother is give her as much love for her as you can.

I hope this helps in some small way, I am 23 by the way so still just learning about life!
Good luck and blessings your way to you, your mom and you grandmother.
