Yes....for many years. It's an ongoing "event" and not something just "learned" and abandoned.

Mindfulness is good for all of us at all times, imo. Though few can maintain it with the "world" attacking, imo. It's being fully "mindful" of where you are right now... what you are doing right now... and with the meditation aspect, it includes thinking about your breath (breathing) and clearing your mind of thought... imo...

Being in the here and now is good for depression too, I think. Because so much of depression is remembering past negativity and projecting dark futures... but often the very here and now is ok. Right now...sitting here... typing this... drinking my limeade... I'm ok.
