| So I kept most variables stable, and still got depressed after starting to do more mindfulness meditation. I then continued to be depressed while doing mindfulness meditation (like 50 minutes a day). In sum, and I've noticed similar things before, mindfulness meditation (meditating on sensation of my foot, or hand while holding something, or on sound) doesn't seem to prevent or reduce depression. Might help a small bit but not a big effect. I did notice that my attention during meetings seemed better than before (easier to pay attention) and there were some fun effects like being more attentive during sex. I think mindfulness is useful for improving one's ability to pay attention, for sure. | |

| Got depressed yesterday despite meditation. Meditation didn't seem to help at all, since I've been meditating more often than usual, but still got stressed. I do think that maybe if I took the time I spent meditating, and put it towards for instance going on a date on the weekend with a girl, it would make me happier than if I spent that time meditating. | |

| Probably 30 minutes yesterday, including time walking to work and middle of the night. I enjoyed planning during the middle of the night as well. I think I realized where I want my relationships to go in life, so that was useful to realize. I wouldn't want to have meditated all during that time instead. | |
