TIL my go-to meditation app's guide exacerbated my anxiety instead of curing it
Honestly, I relied on a specific breathing exercise guide during a panic attack, but the instructions were too vague and left me feeling disconnected. Tbh, the guide assumed a baseline calmness I didn't have, making the whole experience frustrating and counterproductive. Ngl, I ended up more agitated than when I started, and it made me question the quality control of these digital guides. We need to acknowledge that poorly designed meditation tools can do more harm than good.
