    I talk to God and I have a cookie and I am sure to thank GOD for the cookie.   It looks like a sarcastic answer, but deep down it does work.  I am able to relieve my anxiety about my feelings and just accept them calmly and be serene about it and watch it pass.  It's a blessing.

    This is so much a goal for me, often, the approach you've shared (for me, with or without food - - but I'd be better off, in general, if I ate more.)

    Sometimes ... like if I'm tanning ... I will stay there.

    Or, I'll just get up and go in.

    Most often, I listen to music if I can.

    Two pieces in particular came to my mind --

    "Neptune"  the last movement of Holst's "The Planets"

          (It's so quiet that every video I found is still very soft. The entire movement. Ethereal. And that last minute with the far-off vocals. The movement makes me practically cry with beauty.








    and "In Paridisum" - - the last movement of Gabriel Faure's "Requiem" - - OMG, literally

    Self-loathing is what I do and I'm very good at it.

    I hope you're OK, my friend.

    And I mean this in the best of ways - - your answer made me immediately think of "Eeyore" - - as you know, my favorite character in that whole Pooh cast.
    :)

    Eeyore seems to be my spirit animal or something. Not sure if that's a good thing.;-)

    There's something about him that speaks to me, too. Ever since I was a young kid.

    And I  like to play the piano sometimes Just for me (not for my job). In a big empty room.

    Composer Robert Muczynski's piano compositions are my favorite to play, just for me. And when I have an opportunity, I'll play his music for others. These six preludes are the first pieces I played of his stuff. They remain a part of me. Muczynski has bettered my life immensely.

    please -- anyone - - if you haven't heard his music before --  give a listen
