But after a few weeks, I had a mental breakdown. All of a sudden, my mind froze up. I felt blocked. I couldn’t think, read, or write. My head hurt all day long. That went on for a few days, almost a week. I felt ill and I didn’t understand why. I couldn’t even think about why. And when I felt better, I just picked up where I left off. This time, I went on for longer, about two months before I hit another wall. But this time it was different again. No matter what I tried, I didn’t feel like I was improving or learning new things. But I kept going and pushing through the difficulty.
