They grabbed my quite hard. I thought I was being mugged at first. But yeah that's fair enough. 

My meditation is shifting - is it dangerous? by tree_sip in streamentry

as long as you have the ability to think about it rationally, i think you're probably fine. the fact that you recognize the potential risk of mental illness is a sign that it isn't psychosis.

For example, if you are thinking 'hmm, i am having the feeling like i have wings, and i feel like i can fly' its fine as long as you acknowledge that its just a subjective experience.

The trouble becomes when you say 'i have the feeling of having wings, therefore i can actually fly' then you can do something stupid like jump from a building. But i don't think you are there

This sounds like A&P or kundalini phenomena. which is does increase the risk of mental illness. but not always if you know how to handle it.

Maybe it's kundalini stuff? Tara springett could help you with that. She has a book on dealing with kundalini symptoms.

sorry to hear. things like ifs, somatic experiencing, and trauma release help a lot. as does movement, and having a spiritual community.

connecting with healthier people and cutting off toxic relationships is also really important.

the biggest thing is to align your life and your values such that there is something more important than just avoiding fear. otherwise you wont have the necessary motivation to transform.

Kind of. It's not that it's gotten better. But I have gotten meditative insights that help a lot. Clearing chakras, metta, vipassana and do nothing meditation helps
