(If only I could slap some of those damn pop stars )

I find myself working on projects when I'm too restless to sleep, get motivation from a favorite song or when I'm getting thoughts of self-harm. My hair tie on my wrist "snaps" me out of the thought at that moment; the music, art and stories (I write) keep me out. When I'm anxious, I write it out. When I'm depressed, I draw it out. And when my mind haunts me with intrusive thoughts and flashbacks, I play music that eases my mind back to being mine. For me, it's about coping but it has changed me a lot.
It's more of getting yourself into that habit than having the motivation.

Also, really embarrassing, sometimes I have to make myself laugh and I'll dance at bizarre songs that I normally can't stand (I know "Best Friend" by Toy Box word for word and dance to that ****). It makes me feel silly and I imagine how I look in someone else's eyes. It's spectacular
When I'm adventurous, I'll do it in front of people.

Actually, doing any of these things would be radical for me at this point. Maybe I will pick up my guitar, wipe off the dust, and strum it a bit, introspectively.

That's better medicine than anything a shrink would prescribe, in my book.
