I vote for the "Shaping Your Story" lesson!
No need to apologize, we appreciate the authenticity! I deal with anxiety more than depression, and have taken Prozac in the past. It affected my sleep schedule (weird dreams, trouble falling asleep, waking up disoriented) but it didn't negatively impact my studies.
That being said, everyone reacts differently to even minor changes to the chemicals in their brain, so talk all this through with your doctor. It also depends on how you feel right now, and how soon you're taking the test. If your OCD makes studying impossible or unproductive now, any improvement would be better for you and your score. I just wouldn't advocate adding new medicine if you're taking the July test, because there isn't enough time modify the dosage or change medications if it doesn't work for you.
The LSAT is an obvious stressor so it's especially vital to take care of yourself. Personally, I aim to do yoga and weights in the mornings, and study outside during lunch/on the weekends. I'm sure cutting down on caffeine and sugar helps, but I haven't successfully done that yet. When I feel panic-y, I like to visualize a beach or glowing green energy. It's weird but it works. PT-ing and study groups have made me much more confident, because those tests are no different than the "real" thing. Hope this helps, and good luck! :smiley:

Finally finished my review of CC (second time's the charm?) and feel more confident in LG. I'll be on this week's call, thank you for tagging!
Is there an estimate for when the explanations would be available?
Thank you so much!
