Well I’m doing well on my meds so not as frequently. But when I do I notice them and continue meditating. It takes a lot of practice but I’ve gotten to the point where I’m able to observe thoughts objectively and then let them go even if they’re paranoid or intrusive or disturbing
Sometimes when my mental health is bad though I don’t meditate just because I can’t calm myself down enough to do it. But lately it’s been a lot easier to do it.
