Awakening possible while on SSRI ?

[AlldayLoop]

I also highly recommend Leo’s video on body awareness. This is a foundational episode, especially for those suffering with mental conditions such as you and me. This will also help deepen your meditation and yoga practices.

I just watched this episode yesterday;  throughout the day I already started to notice just how often I clench my fist and raise my shoulders unconsciously. Also, I’ve dealt with eczema ever since I was a baby, and throughout my life I would always start itching my face, neck, hands, etc. whenever I was in a stressful situation. Becoming more aware of your own triggers and signs before they become too big to handle is key!

@Vagos I would focus more on not thinking for a while and building up your meditation, concentration, and yoga skills.

I find the questioning to be ineffective without first being in a calm mind state.

I'm in a very calm mindset now with the ssri though. I could do questioning for 3 days a week and not thinking for 4 days a week or something along those lines. Anyway, thanks a lot!

I've watched it in the past, maybe I'll watch it again, thanks!

One other thing I didn’t mention is I actually did ask this question before, just on another topic. You can read the answer from other user here.

Hopefully all these different perspectives you have been given will ease your mind about this.
