Wrong meditation technique
Many Westerners think meditation is about having a blank empty mind with no though occurring at all.
They get upset when they can’t achieve an empty thoughtless mind. But actually this is an incorrect understanding of meditation and the wrong goal to aim for.
You’ll never get a blank empty mind, meditation is actually about observation, just watch whatever is going on, witness it without getting involved.
Be just a witness without any action or reaction to whatever you witness.Namo Amida Buddha

If you were looking for a sign that your “fresh start” will actually be a fresh start this time, this is it. Your fresh start begins now. You’ve healed, you’ve grown. It is finally time.

You seem to want instant insight, forgetting that the instant is always preceded by a long preparation. The fruit falls suddenly, but the ripening takes time.
