    Ended Up In A Psych Ward

    I already wrote a post about this a few months ago, but recently, as of 12 days ago i started feeling really intense energy sensations and anxiety, muscle spasms, depression and fatigue, the anxiety got to a point where every second i fear myself going insane or hurting myself or others and decided to turn myself into a ward.. I've been here for 3 days now and I've been spending every moment working on the anxiety and its getting better... It literally felt like i was dying constantly.. i lost all of my sex drive, appetite.. i was constantly fighting whatever was going on but i decided that instead of fearing that i screwed myself over and going insane and fighting it all that i should just accept what's happening, it was so bad.. ive never experienced such.. desolation in my life, i stopped energy work and only meditate when im having bad anxiety.. i try to ground myself and use positive affirmations and take my mind off of it.. does anyone have any tips for how i can get better?

    Just keep meditating and find things to keep your mind busy, like art- refocus your attention on things that don't cause you anxiety.

    First, let me say, been there, done that (though my admission to the psych ward was involuntary). I won't write out that whole story, but I will tell you that the thing with which I was diagnosed is not a thing for me any more, and apart from a few lingering neurological/emotional scars from my troubled childhood and early adulthood, I'm pretty functional, and with greatly and powerfully expanded awareness.

    This will pass. Try to keep a focus, keep meditating (just do basic, calming, mindful meditation; I've found it's extremely helpful to stay as much in the moment and the present as you can). Know that it will pass, because it will. I think it's a good idea that you stopped the energy work for a while. Let that rest, and there are probably already lots of things in motion in that area, so just let that be.

    Severe anxiety sucks, and I feel for you, I really do. Focus, present moment, try chanting if that helps (you can chant anythign you like; I have some simple phrases that I use to help calm myself when my anxiety gets out of control). Try to avoid caffeine and other stimulants, at least for a while, as they can make anxiety worse.

    Just ride the wave as best you can, and don't struggle against it if you can possibly avoid it.
    May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.

    Stay away from tobacco. I know it's popular practice amongst the people on the ward.

    remember...

    When I did my first 10 day meditation camp I felt like that too. I felt soo lonley so anxiet so hurt but I faced it and it made me grow and strong. Dont know if that helps you but just to mention that this is rather normal when we start practicing spirituality.

    All the best

    Can you garden? Get your feet and hands in the dirt, nurture some plants? For grounding. Or art - artistic expression can transmute and requalify. Are there good counselors there? Also, if in your meditative practice can you do a visualization with the uncomfortable, anxious energy shooting out of your left hand straight into the ground.

    One thing I say to myself (with the conviction of my faith) when I feel attacked by strong anxious energy is "God did not give me a coward soul." In other words, I evoke that what is infusing me - attacking me - has no idea who its dealing with. For me, this stops it.

    Maybe an affirmation, evocative of strength for you could be of help.

    May you receive strength, understanding and peace.

    Okay, I know this is easier said than done, but you really, REALLY need to work through that fear as soon as possible. Set the intention to resolve that starting yesterday (you can do that; time, like space, is an illusion).

    Fear is a very strong energy of belief, and when you fear something... well, let me quote the Bible when I note Job saying, "That which I feared the most has come upon me". This has been my experience of a lifetime. That which we fear gets a lot of attention, and where attention goes, manifestation happens. Fear is a very powerful energy, and it's not one that's easily controllable, either, so it's best to just release it as completely as possible, as soon as possible.

    I was very much afraid of going into a psych ward, and guess where I ended up? I didn't know what kundalini was (only learned about it in the past ten years or so, and my big transformation was in full motion a couple of decades ago), but I was very much afraid of whatever was happening to me, even though on some level I understood that it was a healing process. I believe that part of the reason my transformation was more of a spiritual emergency (that, by the way, is now officially listed in the DSM, the "Bible" of psychiatry, though I don't think it was at the time) than a joyful awakening. There were other factors at play with me, as well, so I don't want to frighten you more (I was a complicated mess, to say the least; the term "real piece of work" is not inapplicable), but my fear and resistance made the process considerably harder than it had to be.

    So I urge you to try to let go of your fear, even though that seems like a big task. Intention is the only way I know of to get that process going, the process of releasing fear. For all we know, your fear-release has already begun, however, because time is an illusion....

    You do not sound at all insane, by the way. You don't feel that way, either (yes, I'm exceptionally empathic, though I'm very guarded and I don't just scope out everyone who particpates here, but you're asking for help, so I'm just doing a little perception). You feel confused, exhausted, a lot of things of that sort, but I'm also picking up resistance, like, you want to keep as much control as you can. While that's understandable, please believe me when I say that the harder you hold on, the more difficult it will be, the longer it will take, and, frankly, you won't be able to resist the forces of spiritual awakening (beause that's what this process ultimately is), so you may as well just let go and know that you're not going to drown or be lost (at least, you won't lose anything you need, though it may seem needful at the time) or become irretrivably insane. You are safe, because "you" are as much an illusion as everything else, and the true self of Consciousness is unchangable. This "you" thing is a character, a mask, that Consciousness uses to interact with the illusion. (Right now, that may sound all guruspeak and stuff, but it will make sense in time.) So it's all good, even if it doesn't feel that way right now.

    I hope this makes sense to you. I am so familar with what you're going through, and I hope my experience can help you.
    May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.

    Everything you said makes COMPLETE sense to me, all of the thoughts i had surrounding that, i have a fear of accepting that, because i wish to live yet this process makes me feel like im dying.. i have too many things to do.. i guess i just have a hard time accepting those things.. im trying too hard to control everything and im prolonging the process and making it worse.. i love everyone and everything and i wish to live.. i should just surrender to the process right? and trust that it's for the best...
