was going to begin studying again today for a possible retake and got heckled by parents saying to just chill out till score comes in.. but I am such a crappy lsat'er that I fear basically a month off will do too much damage.. is this just me being neurotic ? Would retake in June / Sept.

If you were planning on February, I would say don't wait. But for June or September, you'll have a lot of time. Maybe just do a few drills to keep the concepts fresh in your mind.
Give yourself a break and don't go overboard with PT's and the whole shebang though.

yeah def wouldnt be pt ing. would just be drilling basically.. i think I'll take your suggestion and go super light. I don't think I'll understand life without the lsat which is a strange thought. Its just taken up such a big part of my time / caring for so long

It could be different for everyone but in my experience I never had a problem with taking breaks and losing much progress. I took a couple of month long breaks over the year that I studied and the concepts always returned very quickly. If anything, time away helped the concepts to further solidify and become clearer when returning to studying. Just my personal experience

feel like I would lose what I learned very quickly, if not the understanding at the very least a dramatic loss in speed

+1 on this. I took the June test. I stopped studying from June to August and the first PT I took my scored jumped over 5 points from my June LSAT score. I think the time off to relax helped, but even more, everything I had been learning had been given the opportunity to turn into long term memory verse short term memory.

anyone into meditation at all? going to begin doing it consistently, 20 mins a day twice a day. I began reading "the power of now" and it is a super interesting book

This is exactly how I felt. I still haven't finished it...I only have been watching like 45 minutes each night. I still think Leo was hottest in his Titanic days. Ugh, swoooon
