    I hope this wont come off the wrong way, but Tehillim can be the best form of therapy around. Music is also good, but not just anything.

    Hatzlacha!

    kapusta- i agree with you about the tehillim… by best friend once gave me the best advice when i was going through a hard time, she said “if you feel like you have to cry, say tehillim so your tears will have a direction!” and it always helps make me feel better knowing the tearss/emotions are going somewhere!

    Cofeefan, tears always have a direction. Straight up to Shomayim.

    Excersizing or dancing to music really works for me. It gives my mind a break from thinking about whatevers bugging me, and when Im done I feel amazing and strong- like I could handle anything. The music cheers me up alot too.

    In the morning I do a hundred jumping jacks just to get my day started with a good feeling.

    Usually the last thing I feel like doing is the most helpfull..

    Also, If Im gonna cry, and I just remember to cry to Hashem, (as opposed to simply my pillow) and this crazy thing happens.. the tears just completely stop after a few minutes and this very comforting feeling washes over me.. I havent experienced this with tehillim, I guess cuz it doesnt feel as personal..
