Meditation is awesome!

Which is true, but I have yet to meet anyone with ADHD that could learn how to do it fast enough to learn how to do it.

It’s possible! Lots and lots of practice, but it’s absolutely doable. I recommend progressive muscle relaxation, since it gives you something to focus on more than just “let your mind go blank.”

This video was the tool I needed to figure out how meditation is supposed to work. Then it's just a matter of practice afterwards.

My problem has always been that I find breathing too boring to ever manage to focus on it for any length of time.

That's like saying you can't learn to swim because the water is always too cold. Yes it's cold, you just go in the water anyway. It's okay to feel bored. Just be bored and continue.
