Enya is a great suggestion i too use her music to cry to and release my emotions I also use simon and garfunkle (really loud to 'sing' out my hurt during the day it exhausts me so i sleep better in the night)
Try writing your feelings down, i tend to find writing poetry helps me, it is a way of letting your feelngs out and be known, it is also a good way to resolve unanswered questions too, e.g why did .... happen or why do i feel ....
if i am really stressed or depressed i have a hot candle lit bubble bath with aromatherapy oils filling the air. I put the heating up high a while before, make sure the water is hot , warm the towels on the radiator, light the candles/oils, pour a small glass of my favourite wine, unplug the phone and switch on the heated blanket so my bed is warm to get in afterwards. then i say to myself 'ok there is lots of sxxt outside in the world none of which i can deal with at present, in here there is just me, nothing is going to change outside if i am not there, so it is ok for me to take some me time and to relax, everything will still be there in the morning when i will feel better able to deal with it after i have had a good nights sleep. ok it does not always send me to sleep but it does relax me enough to write, the writing usually sends me to sleep!
Thanks for this!
