preface: this is the opinion of someone who has yet to go to grad school but is in the same boat as you. I think if you just want to have a professional career as a counselor/therapist/social worker then you can do a master's degree that will help you get some from of clinical license (MSW, CCMHC, LMFT). I'm working in a direct care/nonprofit job before I apply for my master's just so that I know what I'm getting into before I lock in to a career doing this for the rest of my life lol. Getting prepared for a PhD is trickier because it's more competitive; you'll need research experience since that is mainly what a PhD student is doing (writing academic papers rather than working directly with patients). Since you've already graduated, you would need to do a post-bac program/volunteer in a psychology lab at a nearby university/or find a job doing psychology research to get that experience. I don't think a master's degree in psychology alone is the move unless you plan to go on to get a PhD.

high school/first-year college writing. education is… in a bad state right now, but so truly can’t imagine a world where I do anything else.

Sometimes all I want to do is have someone listen to me talk about it. It’s not realistic though and it’s annoying. When I write in my diary and I read it back over it feels like someone is listening

You can learn so much about what’s going on when you’re not there. It’s fun to speculate about what made them. The snow is good for keeping records of things
