((Reblogging here because some people in the community are having issues with anxiety or relapse. Take care everybody <3))

In association with the music boxes, may I add Madeon’s Adventure Machine. You don’t have to be a fan to have some fun with this thing.

I also have found great calming (oddly) from playing Sushi Cat and its sequels, available for free on Armor Games: http://armorgames.com/play/5379/sushi-cat

It’s free, very cute, has cute music and animations, and is oddly meditative.  Yes, I spent 3 hours on the bathroom floor playing it once during a very anxious family visit.
