Thank you SO MUCH for mentioning that meditation can cause psychosis. This rarely gets mentioned compared to how much people rah-rah meditation (which I love doing)
I didn’t get psychotic but during a 3-week meditation retreat in 2019, I was suddenly smack dab having a hypomanic episode - as in, I knew what I was seeing and hearing were just in my head and not for anyone else, but my whole physiology got jacked up.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I've never had that happen, but I think it's important to share all sides of the bipolar journey. It's nice to hear this from a real person because I never experienced it.
