Thank you for the replies.

Ok it is not rubbish for everyone, agreed.

I don't see how being mindful can stop me from losing awareness of my surroundings (meltdown) and then coming back to reality to see that I've got bruises on my body and sometimes even a bloody nose.

Mindfulness doesn't even calm me down when I'm in the pre-meltdown stage.

I have tried meditation too, but with meditation I stay calm for about 10 minutes, and then after that I am agitated again.

I had to take extra Olanzapine during the weekend.

I am glad that mindfulness works for some, but it doesn't work for me.
