Yep, Norah jones is one of mine too. I'd always imagined a deserted Californian beach when I listened to her and a few years back we went on a US road trip.....and I found my beach. Drakes beach, we took a little video, so now I am able to play it back, those waves are very restful.
We've finally had our bathroom refitted and I am looking forward to winter evenings in the bath doing exactly as you described!
I saw a maxillofacial surgeon recently with regard to dry, sore mouth and although I know this, he explained again how the anxiety is able to make the brain produce the weirdest sensations and symptoms. He was very kind and he could see how bad the anxiety is. He also talked about the good angel and the bad devil on our shoulders, one trying to help, the other trying to sabotage our good intentions and our more rational thoughts (when we have them)! He saw right into my head. rebel2 you have proved this to yourself and like you I try to keep myself distracted. Not so easy with the rotten weather we have been having, but keep at it.
