I couldnt agree with CApsychstudent more...
Im in a master's in counseling program. I have ptsd BPD, panic attacks, depression...being in the program has actually helped me function better. Getting started is roughbut hang in. Your experienc will be valuable as a counselor. And yes, do not disclose too much. I would say rather than be areful who you tell....dont tell anyone. It was the first bit of advicemy T gave me when I went back to school. He says they will discriminate against you, even though they all have their own issues as well...
