:P Everything takes practice! You're essentially forcing yourself to stop doing things that you've grown accustomed too. Even the most practiced people make mistakes. I used to have rages every few weeks (More like every other week) and it's spaced to every (2?) months which is a vast improvement. I also used to break up with my boyfriend a few times a year and it's almost been two years since I last did it! It's not supposed to be easy and it's not supposed to be an overnight change. You should feel really good about yourself because you're taking the step to attempt mindfulness.

I have to do small goals or I won't get anything done. For instance: Breaking up my math homework so I do sections in 2-3 days BEFORE tests has helped me understand and comprehend. Plus I don't feel as pressured to stay up all night to complete the assignments.

I take lithium. It's deteriorated my ability to recall information and I have acne because of it. Make sure you drink a lot of water, and drink water (non-sugary drinks) instead of eating in-between meals. This is a huge problem of mine that I have to work on...haha
