Level 60. I'm depressed and alcoholic. I have a generally excellent life: great housemates, lovely and trustworthy partner, abundant social opportunities, purposeful and varied work, extreme flexibility in my daily or monthly planning, no ongoing problematic aspects of anything.
I've been trying to log in and talk to a listener sometimes, but then just log off. There's absolutely nothing to say. I'm miserable. I can't take it anymore. I spent the last twenty years hoping that things would get better, and now that I have nothing to complain about, there's still nothing worth living for. I can't imagine there ever being such a thing. Irredeemable.
Lately, as I've been doing this mindfulness meditation, I've been better about keeping my feelings to myself, not letting them spill out on my partner willy-nilly, keeping a straight face. I don't know if that is that related to the meditation. My partner thinks that step one to getting better is "fake it 'til you make it," so he, at least, is thrilled.
Got to step 10 today. MY favorites are the close you eyes, listen, and meditate steps.

I learned that it's important to live the moment, be aware of yourself and your body. There are many more things to see, hear, feel, ... than I notice because I'm busy, focused on something else or just because it's all routine for me.
So I'll try to be aware of these things every day, as often as I can :)
@Tanja, That's a wonderful lesson learned. Keep living in the moment, and remember we're always here at 7 Cups if you ever need some support :)
@MrsAshleyMarie Thank you 
I've learned that time can heal but it also can hurt...
@Mencas True, it truly depends on how you choose to look at things. Perspective matters.
Step 10 ! One step at a time :)
@llileec, Congratulations! You're doing great. Taking things one step at a time is great advice. Keep at it and I know you'll do wonders! :)
