What are your thoughts on meditation? I have decided to start meditating 10 minutes x 2 every day. Maybe it could do something with my anxiety. I’ve heard cases of people with sz getting psychotic from it, so I will go carefully into it.

For how long did you do it? It can take time for your brain to start changing from it.

I tried it for two months I think. Coincidentally this was not long before I got psychotic.

When I was at my most manic point and couldn’t sleep to save my life, I’d lie in bed trying to rest, but my mind would go 1000 miles an hour. I would do this guided meditation (well… at this point, the guidance is a memory I play in my head) I was taught in a psych class that really helps me clear my mind. It worked sometimes.

Funny you say that. I stated doing it heavily at about 17 and that’s when things started to go south for me.

What kind of meditation are y’all doing?! C’mon, you know better than to open the meditation tape and play it backwards while you stand in front of a mirror in a dark bathroom.

I started with self hypnosis. I bought a book on it and recorded the hypnosis script on a cassette.

I got my first psychosis not longer after starting a specific form of meditation (loving kindness meditation)
I don’t know if it was random or if it’s a connection. Never had problems with regular meditation.

You meditate by breathing deeply and slowly, then try to empty your mind of all thoughts.
