i like fidgets like tangles :)

i'm very interested in mental health, neurodiversity and psychology.

i'm one of those autistics who eat the same food everyday lol

  • Hiya,

    I am 17 too

    what part of psychology do you enjoy the most? I am currently studying it for a level and I think I want to do it at uni because it is just so amazing. I think my favorite thing that we have studied so far is definitely memory.

  • heeey soo my knowledge of psychology is from personal experience of mental health problems, social media and magazines/bookazines which is probably the most credible out of the 3 lol. 

    i've read the Psychology Now volume 4 issue except i can't figure out how often it is released oops. i read it from cover to cover and my favourite part was an article on finding meaning on suffering demonstrating how a psychologist developed a therapy called logatherapy which is based on the idea of finding meaning in suffering. 

    i'm currently reading the the Psychology and You magazine which is in the same style except again i can't figure out how often it is released. 

    for christmas, my older sister's present to me was that she will put £10 in my bank account a month till september to buy a psychology magazine lol so yea if you have any suggestions let me know.

    i'd like to learn about memory- sounds good.

    sorry i'm rambling. 

    i currently do biology, chemistry and maths a levels. i do regret it- i used to think i "wanted" to do medicine which i just chose as i didn't see my life ending in anything other than suicide. sorry a bit morbid- i am slowly getting better. i don't particularly enjoy my a levels. i suppose maths can be good when you understand it. it's my best out of the 3. biology and chemistry are meh/basically hard. the neurosciencey section was alright though. in fact, i first thought i wanted to do neuroscience at uni. 

    i just realised i didn't include- i've actually applied to study psychology at uni and i'm hoping to become a clinical psychologist :). 

    generally, i'd love to know more about neurodiversity to also help me understand myself as well so yea if i can find anything on that then yea i'd like to read it within the next few months. because i anyway enjoy reading psychology i'm hoping i won't be at a disadvantage at uni because of my lack of psychology a level.
