It's happening again. Yet another episode. How many more years must this take, or is this just how it is now? Tired of this crap.
It might be that your meds are causing a lot of problems for you. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to get off them. Even though you sound like you're doing great physically, it's easy to have a hidden infection or a gut microbiome problem or inflammation or heavy metal toxicity,... without knowing it. There is a list and a reference for things to check here

About meditation, I don't do that myself, but I have noticed a few people here getting a huge benefit from it. They also say, though, that you have to keep at it seriously for a while before anything happens.
