I am so glad you've posted this.
I have struggled with feeling that something is terribly wrong with me, because I have not been at all successful with mindfulness. It's all mental health professionals seem to suggest - but for me, it was hellish.
Then I began doing some deep work with my therapist. In short, I am finding that as I'm genuinely "cleaning out" the severe traumas I've been through in my life, mindfulness is not having such a frightening effect upon me anymore.
I am not at a point of being able to truly practice mindfulness, but I can envision a day when it might actually help me, rather than hurt me.
