I was diagnosed with ADHD over 20 years ago. I took medicine to help cope it with it for much of my life, by choice, I chose to try to find other remedies on it.

This is certainly not medical advice and is very much anecdotal, but I do find that simple remedies of getting outside, meditating, and exercising regularly help me a lot with managing my negative symptoms. I appreciate your view point and can see your point. My goal was to share something that has anecdotally helped me in the hopes that it might help someone else.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond, it means a lot.

Great, I have an ADHD diagnosis as well. In fact, my coping strategies are pretty similar to yours. Framing what is otherwise an interesting idea for a mindfulness practice for the masses as an easy "cure" is not only speaking for all of us, it diminutizes the condition for those who don't understand what life is like when you just can't point your mind at the thing in front of you. I get enough of 'well, everyone has trouble focusing sometimes,' which is why I even bothered to dig up my login to comment. Thanks for the level response, I had reservations that any response might turn into a poo-slinging contest and I'm glad it didn't!
