I'd say I'm at an 7 right now. Kids are doing well. Relationship is going well. Work is busy and I got two bumps up last year. It might be higher if it wasn't for caring for an elderly patent that has a lot of issues. But overall I think for me where my mental health got better is when I stopped watching/reading the news so much. I got in the habit of consuming a lot of "news" when I was living in the US and it made me a less patient and angrier person. As I told a friend of mine that seems to be in that mode right now, "shrink your world". Concentrate more or the things closest to you and you can have influence over.
