>'She didn't know what was real': Did 10-day meditation retreat trigger woman's suicide?
A young woman from Maryland, who considers herself happy, but grapples with anxiety, decides to go on a 10 day meditation retreat (location not in article) and emerges afterwards suicidal and in psychosis. She wrote a note to her boyfriend on a piece of mail: "Please forgive me for doing this...I remember what I did at the retreat. I finally got that memory. I can't live with me." She then jumps off a bridge to her death.
What did she do at the retreat, /x/? Can meditation of this intensity fuck your mind up this bad?
The volunteers at the center didn't say much. When Megan's parents asked if she was taking her anxiety medication, the volunteers didn't know what they were talking about.
The volunteers allowed only the mother to see Megan initially.
"Kris came back 15 minutes later in shock," Steve Vogt said.
>All three of them then went into the room where Megan was, but she would not make eye contact with them.
>Megan didn't believe her sister, Jordan, was physically there. "You're a projection," Megan told her.
>"You could tell she didn't know what was real," Jordan Vogt said.
>The people running the center provided no explanation and shuffled Megan into her parents' car.
>"As the guru and leader of the retreat, she should have had some insight for us," Kris Vogt said. "She could have said maybe this happens sometimes. But all she said was to Megan, 'Be strong.'"
>Megan Vogt tried to bolt back into the center, asking for a knife to kill herself. They got Megan back into their vehicle and starting driving home.
>Vogt immediately began trying to kill herself by attempting to jump out of the moving vehicle. Steve Vogt was driving Megan's truck and could see the doors of his wife's vehicle flying open on the highway.
she did something she considered bad but her mind repressed it. usually a memory gets repressed cause its too traumatic for the brain to handle, so it puts it in a compartment to never be remembered again. she found her repressed memory and couldnt deal with it. couple that with ego death thru meditation and you got yourself a dangerous brew.
