Okanagan, @melissabeapple and I are coming your way and offering this up, a weekend meditation retreat in support of your recovery.

When I started this meditation journey, in part I was trying to perform a lobotomy on myself. The mind was so busy all the time with chitter-chatter that it was exhausting. I wanted to find a way to shut it up.
17 years later, I want to offer you a bit of a hack:
It's not a lobotomy.
After all this practice, turns out, I still think. Sometimes even on the cushion, the mind is real busy.
Meditation is a relational practice.
It transforms our relationships. With our feelings, thoughts, with people we love, with people who we find irritating AF. In my experience, that's what changes.
Stillness is great when it happens, but perhaps it's not a realistic expectation for you to have a completely quiet or silent mind as a result of practice. That would be a bit awkward in social situations, no? But you can def be less entangled with thoughts. Less pushed around by them.
My $0.02, now I suggest we get our tushes back on the cushes. 🧘
