I’m having mixed feelings about my progress in Scholars. I felt I had come so far. I’ve been on depression meds for about four years and been in Scholars for 9 months. The last two nights I was really emotional and I thought, geez, this feels just like before I went on meds. Well, lo and behold, I HAD forgotten to put my meds in my weekly pill box and hadn’t taken them in I’m not sure how many days. So now I’m discouraged thinking that the thought work I’ve done wasn’t really working – that my REAL, unmedicated brain is still in the same place as it was when I joined Scholars.
