When you are depressed...

What music helps? angry angsty music? or sad? or happy?


"i do not want this"
by trent reznor


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i'm losing ground
you know how this world can beat you down
i'm made of clay
i fear i'm the only one who thinks this way
i'm always falling down the same hill
bamboo puncturing this skin
and nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall i'm drowning in
2 feet below the surface i can still make out your wavy face
and if i could just reach you maybe i could leave this place
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
you don't know just how i feel
i stay inside my bed
i have lived so many lives all in my head
don't tell me that you care
there really isn't anything, is there?
you would know, wouldn't you?
you extend your hand to those who suffer
to those who know what it really feels like
to those who've had a taste
like that means something
and oh so sick i am
and maybe i don't have a choice
and maybe that is all i have
and maybe this is a cry for help
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
you don't know just how i feel

i want to know everything
i want to be everywhere
i want to fuck everyone in the world
i want to do something that matters

It really depends, sometimes all I want to do is wallow so I reach for something moody like Dead Can Dance other times I just want to lash out so I go for like HateBreed.

 

[Ice Cold]

Pure 100% angst music, helps to mellow me out a bit.

 

[nasty]

When I'm depressed, I like to listen to happy music to tyr to get me out of the dumpsters.

 

[Silverluna]

But..

What if you can't seem to get better...can't seem to get "happy" or get over your pain.....

 

[Sillyman]

Pink Floyd is what I listen to when I'm down, but I don't think it helps me so much as compliments my mood.

Nothing for it but time Luna. In the mean time I suggest you find a good escape like a book or a movie and bury yourself in it. If nothing seems good, then just pick something at random and do it anyway.

Get more sunlight, and tidy up the house a bit. It doesn't have to be anything major, maybe just one small thing, but it might make you feel better.


I'm sorry honey, I wish I could do better for you.

One of my all time favorite things to do when I am at the beyond moping point. Sink into another time or place, let someone elses problems and worries take precedence over mine. Let me just fail to exist for a moment.

 

[Silverluna]

thanks Sillyman...*weak smile* but at 10:16pm central time zone...the idea of cleaning house...is a bit mutch....I've been like this for ...dare I say a few months? living but not Living.....
jesus...im sobbing...lol...I can't seem to get over this pain...i try writing but i rip it up...its never just the way it should be...art? HA! im just not good enough.......



BLAAH! enough about my shitty fucked up life...

 

[Wiggles]

I listen to music that best describes my inner turmoil.

And I wallow in it.

 

[Dillinger]

Depends whether I want to immerse myself in my depression for a whlle or not. Sometimes you really do have to go with the flow.

So - if that's the case - sad music, yes...

But... If I want to shake it off. Then the music has to ROCK!

I do that...but I tend to totally forget things im supposed to be doing....total loss of consciouness...atleast of my own responsibilties....

'Mr. Gorebachoff (spelling?) TEAR DOWN THIS WALL! ' R.Regan

 

[LRC]

A long hard bike ride helps lift a depression for me. Preferably with some really steep downhill glides. Wheeeeeeeeee!

 

[Silverluna]

ya know my daddy used to have a 75 yellow convertable corvette....
then he sold it for a 99 puter silver corvette.....RAWR!!!
*snifff* but he sold that one so i could go to college....

 

[RainWizard]

Luna it probably sounds goofy, but I like to listen to banjo music. Even the really sad songs about losing your dawg and your pickup truck breaking down sound happy. Just tuff to not smile at the sound of a banjo.

There like bagpipes...put em out in front of the army and scare the hell out of your enemy's...or at least hurt their ears;-D

Plus it irritates the hell out of the neighbors cat!!!

 

[Silverluna]

FRRREEEEEDDDDOOOOMMM!!!

Ah yes....too bad I am Irish...not scottish...(braveheart )
I'll crank the sounds of my people.... maybe it will freak out my parents downstairs sleeping....

 

[RainWizard]

Drums, flutes and whistles are good too! Get you some Cusco...their pretty uplifting.

Hmmmm...like sleeping dogs...probably best to leave sleeping parents lie:-D

 

[Silverluna]

Aye...
I want to be able to get out of the house tommorrow....

Maybe some Native American Traditional stufff...I think I have some somewhere?
Hmm....

 

[glamorilla]

Aimee Mann,Smiths and Sundays cd's.

"Chainsaw" by Limp Bizkit's a good angry song..."Wish" by NIN is my fave....

 

[Silverluna]

TRENT TRENT I LOVE TRENT!!!!


*giggle* "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails.....for when I feel the need

 

[Sillyman]

Is there anybody out there?

 

[Eagle70]

Luna....
When i get depressed and down in the dumps, which happens quite alot, music is my first escape. I at first tend to wallow in my misery...Alice in Chains's "Down in a hole"

Down in a Hole
Losing control
Down in a Hole
Losing my Soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied...

Then, after that...well, then my anger starts to pick up...and its on to "Mudshovel" by Staind

You will feel my anger
You will feel my pain
You will feel my torment
Driving you insane
I cant fight these feelings
they will bring you pain
You will take away...
I'll be whole again...

Generally, the progression takes awhile...if its still bad, i go and lift weights, or play video games..something that involves my concentration.

Just know that everything will be ok in the end...you have people that care about you that can help you through. never forget that

 

[DyNaMyte]

Music to soothe....

Hmm, I need rock and roll, makin you feel the music not just hear it.

DyNa

 

[Silverluna]

ALICE COOPER!!!!!!
"Love's a Loaded Gun"
"Is it my Body?"
"I'm Eighteen"

GODSMACK
