Hello there!

[apollolux]

Thank you, Jake2015 and TheRealJustin, for your recommendations.

The main reason I wanted to start with ASC was because I felt I needed the confidence boost sooner than I needed the emotional healing, and thought that my current possible depression was indeed heavily influenced by my lack of confidence. However, if there will be resistance to ASC or EPRHA erases it for some reason (e.g. the ASC didn't fully take or I developed a false sense of confidence or something), it makes sense to do the latter first.

I will be switching to EPRHA tonight, try to run it for 10-12 hours, and hopefully I don't have any emotional breakdowns while out in public during the next couple of months (especially after the fall semester starts and I'm back in classes). Near the 3 month mark I'll decide whether my impatience to start over ASC will win out or not.

I may or may not elaborate on what I'm hoping to resolve in a journal here, since that seems to be a thing to do here, though I'd honestly not be doing it for an ego trip or something. I do currently go to a therapist regularly as part of the conditions of me returning to college from medical leave and have talked with him about the vast majority of the problems I'd likely be dealing with during the EPRHA run, including the stuff happening most recently and currently.

Thank you, Shannon, for providing EPRHA and ASC for free and I look forward to making progress on the journey that is bettering myself.
