I'm a huge music buff and music has always been a part of therapy for me. My favorite band, Metallica, has a song that perfectly describes my daily battle with anxiety and panic attacks. It's called "The Unnamed Feeling." Any time I'm having a particularly bad day, I'll put this on and sort of meditate. Sounds crazy to meditate with a heavy rock song, but it works for me. For those who might not be into hard rock or Metallica, here are the lyrics. But I definitely suggest giving it a listen, you can hear the raw emotion in the song:

The Unnamed Feeling

Been here before couldn't say I liked it
Do I start writing all this down?
Just let me plug you into my world
Can't you help me be uncrazy?

Name this for me, heat the cold air
Take the chill off of my life
And if I could I'd turn my eyes
To look inside to see what's coming

It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive
Each moment here I die a little more

Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away

I'm frantic in your soothing arms
I cannot sleep in this down-filled world
I've found safety in this loneliness
But I cannot stand it anymore

Cross my heart hope not to die
Swallow evil, ride the sky
Lose myself in a crowded room
You fool, you fool, it will be here soon

It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive
Each moment here I die a little more

Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Treats me this way
And I wait for this train
Toes over the line
And the unnamed feeling
Takes me away

Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away

Get the f**k out of here
I just want to get the f**k away from me
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I hate it all, why? Why? Why me?

I cannot sleep with a head like this
I want to cry, I want to scream
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I want to hate it all away

I do this too, I like you listen to heavier music and the song that always fires me up and makes me feel better is this is now by hatebreed!

Gotta say, I've never listened to Hatebreed. I find Pearl Jam to be very soothing too, for some reason. Eddie Vedder's voice just kinda relaxes me.
