How many people here have taken up a form of meditation? Has it helped? I am wondering if it might help with catching the bus. It might help maintain stable pursuit of the goal and basic courage to go through with it.

Bitcoin (BTC):Ethereum (ETH):Monero (XMR):This is an interesting perspective. How mindfulness could be used to CTB I've never thought of this before, but it seems plausible. I think where things get tricky (for me at least) is my emotions take over and they tend to lead the show over my head. I'm a new student to DBT, but it seems to be another waste of time imo.Yeah it could help precisely be managing the emotions. I know some monks have ctb'd as protest by setting themselves on fire and they appeared to be able to fully manage the fear and pain. So maybe increasing my meditation practice will at least help with CTB when the time comes since I don't think it will revolutionize my life enough to make CTB no longer desirable.
I do....i normally meditate while microdosing legal ketamine troches. I think it helps with my anxiety to some extent
That's interesting. I assume they work well together then.
What kind of meditation do you practice?
Btw I added a Poll.

Where's the "No, I don't practice meditation" choice? Seems there should be a "No" choice, also.
Mindfullness meditation... Yes they work well together I think
I guess I'll add it by way of request. The first question in my post was how many people do it but I am mostly interested in what people who do it think about using it to help ctb. But it would also be interesting to know if there is a significant group of suicidals here who do meditation, just for curiosity's sake and a few yuks :).
Actually I don't see an option to add it. If you want to create a new poll I'll throw in my vote and get it going.It's kind of hit and miss whether it helps me feel better. Maybe if I was more consistent I would see a bigger difference. In any case, it's something that interests me. I like the concept of mindfulness, even if I have a hard time implementing it, and, if nothing else, I think it would be very helpful for my chosen method(s) should I finally decide I'm done.I might create a new thread with a poll with better response options. Since I can't seem to change the poll options once they are created I will just post the revised options here first and see if they capture things better:
No
Yes, a little and I think it will help with CTB
Yes, a little and I don't think it will help with CTB
Yes, a lot and I think it will help with CTB
Yes, a lot and I don't think it will help with CTB
Yes, a little but I don't know if it will help
Yes, a lot but I don't know if it will help
People can reply here or in whichever new thread(s) get created.
I personally do it a little but I am not sure if it will help yet.

Naw, that's ok. Just thought it would be a bit more accurate reflection for assessment if the "don'ts" were also included. Not a biggie.Similar threads
