Has anyone tried meditation? (discuss.online)

Hi all, I was wondering who here's tried meditation - have you?

If so, did it help? What kind of meditation did you do? How long till you noticed the benefit (if any)?

If not, had you heard of it being used as a behavioural intervention? Would you try it?

I'd tried it before (before I realised I (probably) have ADHD), but didn't stick with it long enough for the results to show. I mean to start it again, but... well, you know the rest.

I've "tried" it by trying to be calm and do what is assumed to be meditation. I've not looked into the science or methods behind it.

I find that I can reset a little if I do my own thing; however, a more structured method and pattern would probably work better for me.

I'm curious if anyone here does it and how it works for them. I'd also like to know what they do so I can attempt it too.
