This is beautiful, and SO relatable! My therapist once told me that there are going to be times where meditation will be so valuable to your mental health, but that mindfulness can be a double edged sword - if the thoughts and feelings are too big/triggering/intense, mindfully focusing in on them won't necessarily help. She advised taking space from meditation until the feeling of drowning was lessened. Now, before I meditate, I check in to see where I am mentally and am much more gentle with myself if the answer is that I should use a different tool. As always, thank you for your openness and sharing your experience! It certainly helps me feel understood <3
