Seems pretty useless to meditate much (aiming for real results) if one is very anxious or depressed. Sort of like running with mononucleosis.
I've spent months in a rut, and now that I'm slowly just feeling better in general, my baseline keeps improving with minimal effort.

Yeah but in all seriousness, just sitting is probably the closest I've had to a bearable meditation experience while really depressed.
Since it doesn't require anything, there's no real sense of failure.
But yeah, I didn't frame that well either: my point was it feels a lot like not improving in core skills, for a long time.
Hence the reference to running with mononucleosis. Your stamina will feel like it's getting progressively worse.
