Anyone here try art therapy?

[JadeNguyen]

Hi. Has anyone here ever tried art therapy like moving your body with the music, or writing down your emotions and drawing randomly with colors? Does it really help?

Hi JadeNguyen I've been trying writing down what emotions I've felt over the year for the past few days and in my case, it help ease the strain I've always felt, you can try it out too. I mostly post how I feel here so you can try it out, just write them as they come, don't try to think bout them

I hope it helps✌️

Thank you DontJudge .

Do you have any technique to deal with loneliness. I’m dealing with it deeply recent days. I don't have many friends. And when I talk to them I don't really feel happy and connected. I don't know what to do.

[DontJudge in reply to JadeNguyen]

My technique's not pretty good cause it hurts me more than good. When I get lonely, I drown myself in movies, I could watch for hours without doing anything productive and it doesn't do me any good.

I also enjoy listening to cool music too though, that might be better, I think

Hi DontJudge . So sorry to hear that. I myself try to be busy with some housework and stuffs on my laptop. But when there’s nothing left to do, the feeling of loneliness returns and I don’t know what to do, just sit and cry. I even booked returned tickets from my city to the neighbor city just to be with strangers on the train. It’s suck and sad.

Hi JadeNguyen, anything that moves our muscles and focuses our thoughts on something

positive can help. I have used Tai Chi in the past which helped immensely in relieving

the tension of the body as well as the stress of the mind. There is no right or wrong

with the methods that work for you. Music, Art, Meditation and Breathing are my

releases of excess Adrenaline. Wishing you Peace. Wishing you Calm Namaste xx

Thank you Agora1

I tried several methods of mediation but it didn’t help much. I used to be occupied with thoughts and anxiety instead of focusing on the breath or the present. I’m currently trying art therapy with music and drawing. It helps at the moment but not last for so long. Could you function your daily activities and go to work normally? I could not go to work, and mostly I’m in the state of anxious and depressed. The anxiety and panic disorder prevent me from many activities, I feel down with my current situation.
