My belief seems to be slowly crumbling, and I just give up on anything at this point, because nothing's working, nothing ever works, and as hard as I focus, or try to, I can't.
I can't astral project - I can't make a psiball that feels warm or cold or does anything but sit and waste its existence, I can't even meditate because of my rampant thoughts - if I try, for example, to just think, 'red, red, red' within seconds I will be pondering some obscure unrelated video game or something.
This isn't just try for a few hours and give up - I've spent days at a time trying to do this, since 4 years ago when I started.
I don't feel like I can turn anywhere anymore. I've always wanted to astrally project or be telekinetic or telepathic or talk with spirits or something. I just feel like I'm blocked up in a barrier and I don't know what to do. Please help me.

As a skeptic, I'm inclined to use this as a point of proof, yet it saddens me to see somebody feeling there is no option other than to disregard and dispense their beliefs. Though I don't believe in Ki or anything related to it, I do believe in meditation. Though I myself cannot do it well, I find that 'Meditating' helps me think. Not necessarily at that moment, but soon afer I stop. I may not be in a deep trancelike state, as I am still aware of my surroundings, but clearing the mind and just taking a few moments to relax is really all a person needs to really step back from a situation and solve their problems from an objective point of view.

I can't "clear my mind." I can't "relax." Whether it's my stupid damn breathing problem or just being damn stupid, I can't just get rid of my thoughts or any of that.

I had these problems myself but after a while of doing it I got that hang of it, it just takes longer for some people.

For your meditation try concentrating on your breath. Count it if you want. If you find yourself wandering then just realize what you're doing and go back to it. It'll become easier with time.
And I'm still having difficulties with astral projection so you're not the only one.

I had a simular problem when I started. ~thinks back and gets all dreamy for a few moments then snaps out of it~ Anyways, you're focusing on the when, and the goal, even if it's on a subconcous level. I found my key to be to detatch. Don't really care, but still have a goal. Does that make sense?

Honestly man, I think something is bugging you, either that or you are being guided back to your dharma. I would reevalaute why you are currently doing what you are doing and see if any spirits have any advice.
