Expressing yourself creatively

Hi Hugs,
 
It sounds like finding something similar to this would be very beneficial to you.
 
Check with your local Community Center there could be a lot of options in your area that you are unaware of.
 
Keep us updated on this!

Hi Ashley,
I used to sing in a choir, but it's something which I had to drop for caregiving.  I didn't consider it "creative", but the human connection nourished me, the spirituality in a church validated my values, and the repeated exposures in front of a weekly congregation of hundreds of parishioners eroded my uneasiness are all missed.
 
Rephrasing this proved to me how much it meant to me.  I've tried to look for something with less commitment over a long period of time, but I'm not successful so far.  Maybe I'll look for something a music school where it might just be a semester.

Anxiety and panic attacks can often be isolating and talking to a therapist or friend about how we feel can be difficult. For this reason, many have sought alternative ways to expressing themselves. Some have found solace in personal journals or distractions such as music or books. Others, have found peace by expressing themselves creatively by…

•    Sketching or Drawing
•    Watercolors or Painting
•    Composing a song
•    Participating in a play or theatre troupe
•    Drawing cartoons or animations on the computer
•    Writing poetry, short stories or scripts

Has expressing yourself creatively helped you? Please share your experience!
