the part that frustrates me is that someone who i introduced to the field (psychology) told me its not for me, which respectable i agree as well. i dont have the mental strength to do it or the money to pay for therapeutic services so guess im fucked

See I was in a similar boat. My passion is actually psychology/clinical psychology, but I went to undergrad for biochemistry. I tacked on a psych major. I was in despair upon graduation, realizing I fucked up very very badly I'm in a clinical mental health grad program now 👍 There's a lot of room for movement and careeer path shifts!!! Ts is very common!!

So you can either switch fields right now (not very uncommon to change majors halfway through) Or you can put it off and try for grad school in a different field
