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
