Hello, I would like to know if I am the only one for who meditation and relaxation techniques don't work at all ? (For those who have practiced seriously)
Are you in this situation, or have you been there ? Any advices ?
Even in ADHD situations I don't see anybody on the net who seems to be in that situation..
In fact for me it has worked only a few times while I have practice all the kind of meditation which exist and all the kind of relaxation techniques, each one I have give it a try of many hours. Also I have been in a meditation retreat of 8 days without noticing any effect..
Techniques that I have practiced on my own and with CBT therapists. In fact I am the only one patient that they know for who this techniques doesn't work.
At the beginning I have been treated for social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder but now it is sure that I have inattentive symptoms and maybe ADD, even if one of my therapist think that all this inattentive symptoms maybe come from my anxiety disorders, I don't know..So now I am treated by a doctor specialist in ADHD, I will see.
In meditation and relaxation I think it is my focus that cause the lack of result : in fact I have no selective attention, during meditation for example, when I focuse on an object, at the same time I am distracted, it takes less than a second every time, I lose my focus every half second, when I focus it is like I observe the breath (or other) and during all this time the thoughts NEVER stop, even a few seconds, because my selective attention has zero intensity, I can't even concentrate my focus on an object, my attention go back and forth at very hight speed.
I have practice a lot and read a lot on this subject (meditation and relaxation) so please don't speak about "it takes time" "it is normal", and don't give me meditation advice.. I have a lot of knowledges on this subjects and psycho, neuroscience, etc. So I know for sure that at the moment it doesn't work.
! No relaxation from relaxation techniques, no boost in attention and mindfulness from meditation.. ! :weep:
It is very frustrating to know what can effectively reduce/cure my anxiety disorders and inattentive symptoms, when in the practice I don't get benefit..Moreover I am very passionate about this subject and a very spiritual person, so it is a very important aspect that I want to add to my life with effectiveness..So for medical reasons and spiritual reasons..
Thanks in advance for your responses, I am very desperate of this situation..
