I might be one of those few people who become uncomfortable and anxious with meditation. I’ve tried all types of meditation and at one point I was meditating daily for almost a year. Then all of a sudden I felt resistant to doing it and couldn’t bring myself to do it again for a few years. The one meditation that seemed to relax me was a Tibetan singing bowl meditation but I only tried that once. Recently I’ve tried guided meditation again. I keep thinking it would be a good thing for my stress and anxiety... Maybe I am not truly wanting to let go of my stress and anxiety?? Maybe that’s where the resistance and irritability comes from... something to consider. Interesting that you found an article on the very thing I had been wondering about.
