Does meditation help at all?

For non-OCD folk, it really helps keep the brain from running around in circles. It can de-rail the temporary insanity train.

    Can't speak for OCD, but I have ADHD and can relate to the incessant mental chatter and yes meditation did help. But it's also extremely difficult and I have never been able to maintain a habit. It comes and goes.

    My suggestion is to try other mindful activities, for example I got really into whittling. It's a hands on activity and you have something to show afterwards, it's good to lock on your mind/focus.

    Like someone else in the thread suggested crochet
