You said you tried music but you tied it in with meditation. Have you tried aggressive music to pace your mood? And then maybe some more relaxing music after.

(I'm curious if people here chime in to say this is a bad idea for some reason.)

Death metal is my go-to work music for when the fight with entropy feels like a losing battle. Especially as the rest of our capitalist society tells you to be happy all the time, death metal offers you the intuitive sense that you're not alone in the pain, and some solace in the fact that some people are brave enough to lament their difficulty out loud.

I think catharsis is really important and people should teach themselves to seek it the way they seek their professional goals, food and companionship.
