Struggling not to act on my impulses all the time, doing foolish things before thinking and not being able to go more than a brief period without embarrassing myself. I thought everyone dealt with impulse control issues. Oh hey Adhd, nice to see you.
Meditation helps with this. Well at least it's better than nothing. Well at least you can feel superior over others because you meditate.
As somebody with diagnosed ADHD, it doesn't work to "sit down and meditate" if I'm not rnaodnly finding myself in a setting where it would be a guided meditation where somebody else would lead. I am saying randomly because due to the fact that I cannot sit down and just do it, I don't have much experience doing it, thus its hard to make the practice an interest and therefore ultra hard to make it a routine or a something I'd do. I could want to do it super bad but I won't.
I would feel stressed attempting to relax and spending the time to meditate.
Yes I've been trying for close to 20 years. The only thing that works is to meditate while doing a physical activity. Something repetitive and my brain will eventually get quite. Once I stopped trying to do it the neurotypical way, it got much easier.
