“Have you tried” comments from people without firsthand experience is basically asking others to be your guinea pig. I didn’t say “hard” I said “pain” as in a physical reaction. If you don’t have the same pathology I don’t think you can truly empathize or understand what you’re asking me to do (even if you think you do).
I’m glad you found meditation and that it’s helpful for you. I’m asking that you modify your evangelism in the future to give people maximum context on where your suggestions are coming from (and associated limitations).
Also, I don't think using stimulants or other adhd meds (like atomoxetine), if they're part of your routine is necessarily cheating. I like to think of them as 'training wheels', which will help you focus internally and less on your thoughts. It will still be difficult (like it is even for those who don't have ADHD), but it may help your brain start shaping those neural important pathways a bit sooner and more easily than it'd otherwise come unmedicated.
Mindfulness is not the same thing, but I’m not sure it’s a solution for us either.
