Thanks for the replies.
I'm not currently in treatment for anything, though I probably should be. I really struggle with other mental health issues (dysthymia with major depression), so there's a lot to work on. I just don't know where to start. I'm in the U.S., so things are kind of complicated. I haven't been able to afford any kind of treatment until very, very recently, and now that I can, I don't know what to do.
Staying out of specializations that would be tempting is really good advice. It hadn't even really occurred to me. I'm still researching programs and specializations, and that's definitely something I'm going to look into.
I've wanted to do this since I was 16, and I spent a good 10 years screwing up my life before I managed to get to a point where I might be able to make this happen. I want to get better and finally do it.
