> i agree fully, late every evening my brain normalises and i can choose what to think and am not bothered in the least by ruminating or anxious negative thoughts, only twice have i managed to stop this during the day, once for 15 mins after 2 hours of meditation and once for 30 mins after 12 miles of hard cycling, i have no doubt these caused a temporary flip back into normality but hey i cant keep that level up unless i become a cross between a buddist monk and maurice green!, the key is definitely chemical i just havent found the right one yet, im not against therapy being doubly qualified in it but it just doesnt help in many cases, or at least it helps a lot better with the right med

You could change careers, don robes and live in a
cave in Tibet, or build up your thighs & do the
European circuit.Seriously now.
At least you've got your evening respite to look
forward to, that has to be good.If this happens late every evening, could it be
due to less stressors?Is it the same on weekends or when you don't work?
Could it be related to fatigue or a chemical reaction
as your mind prepares for sleep?Have you ever travelled several time zones away, like
overseas, and was the onset the same?Just wondering. I'm sure you've examined all the above
and more.
When I had my short period of lucidity, I had just
ended several weeks of a full-day outpatient program.
My therapist tried and tried to attribute my clear
mind to the program. I won't say it didn't help,
but I have absolutely no doubt that it was chemical
induced.Good luck to you
