Meditation

When I first started meditating, I wasn’t aware that I had ADD. At the time, I just thought my mind was constantly racing, and that staying focused was a personal struggle I couldn’t quite control. Sitting still and concentrating felt like a mental challenge I couldn’t easily overcome, but I assumed everyone else experienced the same thing, so I thought it was normal. While it’s true that everyone can have a whirlwind of thoughts at times, for neurodivergents, it’s often more intense and harder to manage. Not knowing I had AD(H)D, this constant mental chaos felt both frustrating and overwhelming.
