How do yall clear your minds with adhd?
recently just had a breakup and everything in my mind always leads to her somehow and it’s affecting every aspect of my life do yall have any advice?
@Jonburrow
Very sorry about the break up. :(
Not sure if this will be good advice but I'll do my best. To be honest I haven't found a way to fully clear my mind personally, however I have found some ways to distract it with thoughts of other things. Listening to music is my favorite way, as I tend to have an active imagination and come up with my own stories. Listening to audiobooks is another. Basically if I can focus on the sounds of other things, be it through music, stories, talking to other people, nature sounds, etc., it can temporarily take my mind off of certain things that are bothering me.

Hi Jonburrow, I use things like breathwork, a particular type of meditation that works well for people with adhd, spending time in nature and have been experimenting with doing cold exposure to clear my mind. I try to use the first three on a daily basis to help prevent overwhelm and burnout. I find that by doing these things I can be more resilient overall to stress when life throws me a curve ball. Breakups are a part of life and difficult to go through no matter what, so give yourself the space to fully grieve the loss of that partnership and know that in due time you will be ready to put yourself out there again.
