I just wanted to open a discussion on how everyone is dealing with struggle when in comes to studying specific sections. I am a self study and I find myself getting very emotionally attached when not performing well when studying. It then makes me feel discouraged, but the opposite is true. If I do well I will spend extras hours studying to boost my confidence. How do y'all handle this struggle? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

I should!!!
That's what the BR calls are for! Seriously @harrismegan369 , you should join us!
I am a really emotional person! To deal with the abundance of feelings about the LSAT, I literally just talk it out. Nothing is better than letting all of your frustrations out with someone who can just listen. Sometimes it really helps me workout my next plan of attack :)
Read something in a psychology book that said "let your frustration drive your motivation." That's how I deal lol.
This is really solid advice. Emotional management is one of the very most important (and challenging) aspects of the LSAT.
Talking about struggles is depressing... Strategies to improve help a lot more
I think the most helpful perspective is to not get too high during your successes and not get too low during your struggles. No one PT or problem set is indicative of overall knowledge and performance; on the contrary, it takes a lot of data to form a complete picture of your abilities. There's always more to learn. Take the long view during your prep and all else. Have confidence in the process.
