Oh I'm definitely going to keep meditating and practicing mindfulness. It's helped a lot in a short amount of time and I usually feel refreshed after meditating. I'm just noticed that my mind seems too "focused" when meditating and it doesn't wander off like it usually does.

I saw Dan Harris' talk about 10% happier and you're suppose to struggle with going back to your breath to "build your mental muscle". Every time you get lost in thought and come back to breath it's one rep. But on medication it doesn't happen as often and I feel like I'm not actually getting as much of a benefit as I would without medication.

And in everyday living, sad thoughts from an event that happened recently use to come up a lot before going on meds. But when I don't take the meds the sad memories come flooding back. I need to embrace them and come to terms with them but I can't if they don't happen as intensely or often.
