Hi Em,

As a fellow psych patient (Schizophrenia) I find that the benefits of meditation definitely help with mental health problems, personally I'd start back at the beginning, just doing 10 - 15 minutes until your practice deepens, my meditation practice slipped due to a lot of stress in my life but after a couple of weeks I've got it back up. Remember the thoughts of being overwhelmed by trying to meditate are just forces in your own mind trying to keep you from the Dharma. I'd watch Aloka-D's linked videos, I found them very helpful when they were linked to me on another board when I expressed an interest in meditation.
