I’ve had bad experiences. i know it’s supposed to be relaxing,
but it always gets intense real fast,
puts me out of my body and closer to psychosis.
Sometimes it’s painful.
anyone else have this kind of thing ever? am i spiritually messed up or what?
i don’t know why this happens.

This isn’t uncommon for people with psychosis to say their symptoms are exasperated by meditation. Maybe it’s not for you I have a lot of trouble meditating also. I don’t see that much appeal in it anyways, but then I’ve never done it correctly so who knows how it is when you do it correctly.

Meditation makes me uncomfortable too. For me when I try it I feel like my body gets lighter. The quiet of the room makes me uncomfortably paranoid as I was told the room needs to be quiet. Sometimes I get a heaviness in my chest. I can’t do meditation.

that’s interesting.
i thought it was just me, it’s good to know it’s not.

I’m really tired of the 20 pills I take everyday.
I don’t feel different when I take em. They make my voices few and quiet…

I do prayer, but when i was in a monastery for a week with lots of silence and meditation all my mistakes and bad experiences became so huge that i started to be half-psychotic. I still fantasize that meditation can help me find back medfree sanity, but in practice…nah.

When I meditate my ruminations get louder not quieter. The worrying stands out. I don’t like it but I keep trying thinking there’s something wrong with the way I do it. But you all make me think maybe it’s not just me. If i can never successfully meditate I won’t blame myself.

When I meditate voices get louder

It’s the lack of stimuli or distraction that makes voices louder and frequent

when I try to meditate, I become too focused on my breathing and it stresses me out. It also makes me very aware of how much my body hurts, and I start feeling very uncomfortable.
