I'm not sure but you should mention it to your therapist. It might be perfectly fine but it might not. I don't know but I do know for some episodes/conditions meditation is contraindicated and your therapist should be able to provide some guidance. At the very least you should talk it through with him/her and relate your experience.
For conditions like severe anxiety and some forms of depression there's a very specific therapy program that incorporates meditation techniques called MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction). I think there are also some similar programs for some (but not all) types of personality disorders. I think it's for BPD and called DBT (Dialetical Behavior Therapy).
These are highly regimented therapy programs though and for treating specific conditions.
