I spent a good chunk of change to get tested for learning disabilities this year. I've thought I was dyslexic for a long time but never got tested. Was diagnosed with ADHD along with depression and anxiety. The doctor gave me a whole slew of resources to help with it all. It sounds silly but one of the things he advised was getting a guided meditation app for my phone and doing 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night. Changed my life almost overnight. I don't try and think about, "nothing". I just try to be aware of my thoughts and not to follow them. Almost immediately my mind became clearer. I haven't actually dug into all the resources I was given (recent diagnosis) but hopefully they will be just as helpful. I encourage everyone who have a racing mind or procrastination issues to see someone and get tested.

What app are you using? I've read that meditation is essential for treating ADHD, and would love to try it too.

  Simply Being. My doctor told me to check it out. It's does the job but it doesn't have a lot of options. That may be for the best though because otherwise I'd spend time messing around trying to find my favorite one instead of meditating. iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/simply-being-guided-meditation-for-relaxation-presence/id347418999 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/simply-being-guided-meditati... Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meditationoasis.Relax1&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meditation... Cost $2-$3 I believe. I set it on 10 minutes and use music 3.
