music will save us
Sometimes I'll put on a pair of headphones and listen to a song over and over at high volume because I want the music to wrap me up and swallow me, to fill an internal vacuum. Classical music does this best, I've noted, though acoustic guitar or vocals in a minor key with piano accompaniment also often do the trick.
On a related note, Rufus Wainwright's voice is like an aural hug.
