No need for help. My thoughts just race 24/7 leaping from one subject to the next unless I have something to distract me from something.

That wont stop by ignoring them. But with practice, over time like building a muscle, meditation will quiet the mind.

Forget 90 minute sessions, you can meditate 1 minute, 2 minutes. No special setting or place required, anywhere comfortable and quiet. You can do this a few times a day, youll notice slight improvements in aa little as a week or so.
