its different for everyone. I was lucky enough that Zoloft cured my shit within a year then I got the hell away from that stuff after my brain was trained. Most will say it doesnt work for them, but my brain found similarities in zoloft and DXM trips that lead me to be cured. Im diagnosed ADD and OCD from serotonin deficiency. You can probably cure it through straight meditation but Im lazy and needed the extra crutch just to 'see' what a calm brain looks like, then work from there

to answer directly, Void meditation is likely the cure all

>Void meditation
how is this different from mindfulness meditation?
gpt
mindfulness has focus on breathing, and void is no thought at all including no focus on breath
human
how do you do that... how does one focus on nothing?

In addition to what the other poster said: If your thoughts keep intruding, start looking for the moment when the thought first starts to bubble up. Sometimes just by observing the initial thought impulse, the rest of the thought never appears. It might just appear as a vague 'flavor'of a thought that passes away. Be vigilant at the beginning of inhale and beginning of exhale. That's when new thoughts arise. This kind of activity isn't really 'focusing on nothing', because part of you is still monitoring. But after a little while, sometimes you can just stop monitoring. There are other methods, this is just one that's working for me lately.
