my daughters derelization has been affecting her lately, she has ptsd from a past episode she had and she has been struggling very badly, she’s 13 years old. I’ve been pushing her to try to be stronger for herself and giving her all of the support she needs, and I’ve realized meditation has helped her so much. It completely masks her anxiety, and she’s able to feel at ease even if It’s for 5 minutes, I’m so grateful to have people like us in the comments to know that we are not alone. I pray my daughter will realize she isn’t either, and that this anxiety is curable.

Sounds like she is doing a good job and has great support from you. If you haven't heard of it already, I just wanna mention MCT (metacognitive therapy) might be beneficial. It can help with anxiety/ptsd/depression/panic etc. It aims to help the person decrease worry and ruminative thinking to decrease anxiety and apprehension overall. There is a british webpage that lists all therapists in different countries that are certified in MCT. I found one for myself in my country. Just an idea. Regardless, wish you and your daughter all the best

The fact that you have a clock in the background aduibly ticking is brilliant. I dont know if it was on purpose or not but it gives the person listening something real to focus on while you're talking, in case we cant hear anything where we are.

Anxiety is like a weight on your shoulder and never goes away never stops being heavy but with meditation and patience anything can happen I've learned to accept my feelings me fears and let go and find some sort of of peace within myself and meditation and mindfulness has had a huge part in helping with that. I wish anyone reading this to have some peace and love and tranquility bestowed upon you and just know that you are okay and everything is gonna be okay and god loves you and so do I

I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without psych medications. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.

This meditation somehow made me more stressed ... Your voice is SO lovely and the instructions to observe your thoughts and let them pass are perfect, but somehow the repetition of "I'll deal with that later" ratcheted up my anxiety more! I was unable to stay in the present moment ... why so many times?

I got my kicking spot back now so that’s good but I tried to impress the gir I like and she didn’t even compliment me.
