Meditation helps me a lot but at my lowest ebb I find it hard to concentrate. I have found spoken mantras or prayers can help (tbh I don’t think the tradition really matters - I tend to gravitate to Christian ones because they are comforting and familiar to me). Whatever tradition you pick, I think at these times it’s really important to accept that you don’t have to reach a certain moral standard to be able to pray. It is fine just to show up and ask for help. Suitable music can be a great support as well.
