How Does Music Help You Deal With Difficult Feelings?

@Coco08061969

Anytime I'm sad I have to listen to music that promotes the opposite feeling! therefore I like listening to a lot of pop and hip-hop

Classic (70s/80s) love songs if I need to cry for release and old-school dance music because it's upbeat and changes my mood.

this is a awesome question! I listen to depressing music since it helps me cope with my mental health - artists like Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and many more!

I also like Nirvana, Jawbreaker, and also 90's hip-hop and R&B.

But Elliott is my favorite! His birthday is 08061969 FYI, that's why me username is what it is lol

Usually something I can stim to, things with fun sounds, or if I need to relax then something classical. Sometimes if I need to process feelings it helps to listen to songs I relate to with the specific issue. 😸

When I’m angry I listen to rock songs…and listen according to my mood

I like to listen to lofi, or indie rock (since they're both kind of mellow). For me, this works because if I'm ever stressed out, I will listen to mellow-type music and it helps distract from overwhelming thoughts that flood my mind. It's weird too, because music is the only type of thing that helps flood out all of my thoughts.

Whenever I'm not able to listen to lofi or indie rock, I LOVE to listen to my all-time favorite song: "Je te laisserai des mots" by Patrick Watson. This song gives me chills every time I listen to it, and it's honestly become my comfort song. (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcdO9UP0hp8), I really recommend you check it out! :D
