Hi Tams,
Another tip to make Facebook better is to join groups for hobbies and things you're interested in. I did this with photography and writing groups/pages. Now my Facebook is full of awesome pictures and funny memes about writing etc. I also followed some science and psychology/neuroscience pages and have some interesting articles pop up about current research into depression etc too. It becomes a much more positive place!
Hi Pepper,
Thanks for your kind words 🙂 wanting to become a psychologist was a bit of an accident. I was studying marketing and found I was drawn to the psychology side of it, thought I'd try and study it at uni to see if it held my interest and then it went from there. I never knew there was so many different parts to psychology. It's such an interesting thing to study. I think having experience in mental illness is really going to help. I know there's been many times when I've thought the psychologist had no idea. I'm hoping that the people I help will never have to feel that way!
With photography, I'm very passionate about it. I haven't had a hobby like that for a long time. My profile picture is an example of my bird photography. Then I've taken landscape pictures, waterfall pictures, mushroom pictures, milky way pictures, sunset pictures, the list goes on. There's something special about looking through the viewfinder and really noticing the things around you. I found that with birds, there were places that I had been to many times and never noticed them, yet when I went there specifically for bird photography there were so many around! As humans we miss so much around us because our brains block out what it deems as unimportant.
I hope Grandy reads this again, I realised I misspelt their name twice! How embarrassing! Sorry Grandy!
Anyway I hope everyone has a great day!
