I performed and improvised this track during an episode of intense anxiety. I thought it would be a therapeutic experience to capture myself in this heightened neurotic state musically.
I think the track sounds sad. It sounds like I have been fighting a battle and have lost. But I love it, and I wanted to share it with you this month.
For those of you with anxiety, one thing I have been doing that seems to help me at night, is the following:
Starting with the letter 'A', rattle off random words that come to your head that begin with A. Keep saying words until something feels interesting to you. Avoid words that have anything to do with your feelings or your job. Just random words. Once you've chosen your word, think about that word for a while. Imagine a scenario or memory including that word. Once you're done, go on to the letter B. Once you've done 3-4 letters, get ready for sleep and think about the four words until you doze off.
I hope this helps someone out there.
Love Xani
