How to Cope: Music

Hey there,

I think music is an intrinsic part of our lifestyle as we remain sensitive and particularly prone to life's upheavals in terms of clinical depression. So,tell me, what do you listen to when depression is kicking you? What do you listen to when you feel stable? What triggers you? What soothes you? Thank you for sharing!

I generally listen to BTS. Nowadays it's the only thing that can keep me somewhat grounded. The songs are beautiful as well as the message it provides. A lot of people make fun of me when I tell them about it, so it's not something I can talk about without fear. But nonetheless, it's actually amazing how much it can help.

I sometimes find solace in some music by J.S. Bach, some songs from the St. Matthew Passion. I also sometimes play then piano, for exampleDas Wohltemperierte Klavier I, and to do some piano improvisation trying to let go of all troubling thoughts and just immerse myself in the flow of the music for a moment. I hope to maybe one day record my music and offer it to other people's benefit, provided they like it of course.

I listen to a lot of rap myself. I think I find it relatable and it stimulates another part of my mind. I also enjoy a good YouTube lecture for distraction when I'm feeling low.

I like listening to music I can relate to. My three most favorite artists are Girl in Red and Twenty one pilots (TOP is a two man bach btw) I just feel a connection to their songs and they make me feel less lonely.

I like the now classic rock of my youth, but in reality almost any music helps when you have tinnitus, silence is painful and miserable.

Whenever I feel really down or worried I listen to kpop. Often it's BTS. Their songs are beautiful and the meaning of the lyrics really helps me to keep going. I particularly like ther trilogy Love Myself: Her, Tear, Answer. It helps me to think with more positivity

This is a nice thread.

For me, when I'm in my lowest, I lose interest in everything, including listening to music. So for days, I listen to nothing, or I just have some yt vlogs playing in the background.

But if I want to take my mind off things, I play bird/forest/sea sounds.
