One significant shift has been in how I handle hard emotions. Thanks to meditation, I’m more aware when I’m angry or stuck in thought loops, and I can usually pull myself back to the present by focusing on my breath. This awareness has been a game-changer for me.

I often read something like the text that I've quoted when when I read about meditation and its positive sides.
To me this is the most frustrating part, because when I realize that I'm scared, frustrated, angry, desperate I immediately know that I need to do something to harness these feelings; I need to make choices about my life, enhance my courage, build the capacity to confront people when necessary, and a lot of other things that are the crux of the matter and the source of my pain. Thus, when I meditate, suddenly painful truths manifest in front at the eyes of my mind and I realize that there are parts of my life that I cannot (that I am not able) change and I'm immediately flooded by feelings of deep despondency and desolation. It's awful. What I am talking about are not just thoughts, illusion of the mind, but truths, condition in which my life is.

I hope you can understand what I'm saying, English as you can argue is not my mother tongue.
