What is your therapy?

What is your therapy?
What, or who, do you turn to when life gets too much?
What is my therapy? Making Music!
Sometimes by myself - just playing - working through difficult sections or enjoying a beautiful, lyrical melody. Sometimes I need that "working through difficult sections"! The process of breaking down the rhythms or notes can help me work through issues 'outside' of the music. And sometimes I just need the peace of a beautiful melody to soothe my soul.
Sometimes the therapy is NOT playing by myself, but playing in a group where we have to work together to 'make music'. It's not always easy to make music in a group. You have to deal with other people. You have to deal with other people's thoughts and emotions. You have to work through different interpretations of what the music should be. You have to realize that sometimes a different interpretation of the written symbols on the page can be what the music demands, and it's not about your own interpretation. It's about making music. And being part of the musical process. And letting the combined efforts of everyone transcend the individual in making a united whole of beauty.
And, sometimes, it's just listening to others make music. Not having to put forth any effort at all. Just allowing someone else's music to wash over me . . . soothe me . . . fill me . . . pull on and release my emotions.
So what is your therapy?
What is your creative outlet that helps make you whole?
What helps you transcend the humdrum difficulties of life?
If you can't answer that question, then reach out to me privately. I'd like to help you find an outlet. 
We all need a therapeutic outlet as we try to survive life on a daily basis.
