I'm sure those things would help(the link you gave me) but being poor means my diet is whatever I can afford. I have to take what I can get, the cheapest I can get it. Meditation has never worked for me either, I've tried before thinking it would help. But my mind just doesn't shut up or quiet down, ever. I have ADD and am not medicated for it (diet changes have been said to help but again, poor, cheap, affordability) so my mind doesn't really have an "off switch". I can't remember a time when my mind was relaxed and blank of distractions. If it ever has been able to do that. I would like to try medication but the poor thing comes in again. Currently I'm on medicaid and it only covers family planning.
