Hypnagogia

I was in a hypnagogicor hypnopompic state today morning (4.30 am). Had clarity of thought with obvious solutions to problems - I was able to view everything with remarkable clarity.

Emotionally I feel stable and my mood is positive. Is this positive phase of an oscillating rhythm?

Still upbeat

Went out with the Sgr team - visited all the gardens on the boulevard.
It has been very cold recently, last night it touched 0°C, now it is 3°C. Billy is now sleeping with me - keeps one warm.
Mood still upbeat despite a severe cold. May Allah give me the strength to carry on as now.

Relief

The relief and peace that I've been having since yesterday evening is unbelievable. Though the medical model for psychiatry believes in giving medication for conditions like depression, external stimuli can have a significant impact on one's mental state. Hence I believe that counselling can be very effective as treatment for depression etc., unless there is an underlying organic cause.

Breakthrough

SO called! after 11 + days and I was TRULY elated. We had a meaningful interchange; no accusations, no emotions running high. SO decided to introspect and get back...
Keeping fingers crossed.
PS: Praying to Anjaneya seems to help.

Visit to Psychologist

Today I had my second appointment with my counselor. It was impromptu fixed. Mainly spoke about my relationship issues. It was good. Came out feeling better.

PS: After my first appointment with her I felt her to be a mumbo-jumbo person. First impressions can be wrong.
