I often find myself trapped within my own thoughts and dreams. There just comes a time when your mind is bursting at the seams, unable to keep anything in anymore and you just have to let it all out.

Am I the only one like this?

If not, what do you guys do to free yourself? I usually write (sometimes in the Vent it's teaflower story hour), but I also do stage work. Singing, dancing, performing... that kind of thing.

I used to draw. Sometimes I write music, but lately I'm in a mood to write words. I went so long feeling like I couldn't that I appreciate this option more than ever.

Personally, I write, listen to music and dance.

Ah, how I love to dance.

I write (journalling, blogging, poetry) and paint. Lately I've also taken to drawing cynical cartoons depicting whatever is on my mind.

To free myself?

I make music.

I research things.

I get drunk.

I have quality time with friends.

I shoot shit in the face.

All these things are incredibly retardedly very therapeutic for me.

I used to draw cynical cartoons inspired by my frustrations, too. *high fives*

Besides the mentioned methods I love to go jogging.
It is a great way to free my mind.

I usually write, talk to somebody, research what’s on my mind, maybe watch a movie, listen to music or sing.

And at times where I have become shut-in and depressed with my negative thinking, I go for a walk, or seek out my friends to give me a few laughs.

I used to write/live/breathe music etc up til 2-3 years ago but I quit that. Now I'm getting into cooking a lot more but it's not enough, and it can be expensive having to buy so many ingredients. My skills have improved 100x though!
I have very little in my life right now and it is driving me nuts. :-/
I stopped walking around the block when my doggy died a few months ago and I don't feel safe walking by myself, not in this neighbourhood.

yoga, walking, yoga dance, martial arts, reading. I also find that I do better when I have structure; regular meals and exercise, vitamins. Sometimes, however, if something is really bothering me and I get obsessive, not much helps and I just have to ride it out.
