Dancing in the dark to loud music.
Painting or photography.
A luxurious shower or bath.
Journaling.
Cooking myself a fancy meal.
Reading here (reminds me I'm not the only person struggling, and therefore not a complete freak).
Making a pillow fort and hiding in it.
Hanging out on a friend's back porch.
Borrowing a toddler - toddlers are masters of blunt, honest, and open, and great to fingerpaint with.
If all else fails me, email my therapist.
If that fails, a xanax.
Thanks for this thread, the suggestions are awesome.
