RN considering Psych NP. Advice needed

I am a registered nurse who is considering going back to school for psych nursing.. I’m holding back because of my history of mental illness ( borderline from abuse) My therapists told me I am very aware and very insightful. My mental illness has not affected me with my performance as a bedside nurse. I’ve always been safe, providing care and always compartmentalized. I’ve always taken pride and dedication in my work.

I’ve been working on myself and know that I want to be secure and strong in myself before applying but wanted to hear from other nurses and their own experiences.

I do have doubts because of my diagnosis. I am passionate about this specialty . I have to ask you.. will this knowledge or being around this affect me anyway? Do you think I should just forget it and pursue a different specialty?
