Do you listen to music when you feel depressed?

sometimes music will only make me more depressed. But on ocasion, yes I like listening to music when I'm depressed.

Maybe not. Because sometimes I will feel much more depressed to listen to the music. When I have a bad mood, a sad song can make me cry.

Yes I do...depending on the music... When I am depressed I love to hear inspirational songs more of Gary Valenciano... I hear inspirational song for a spiritual and moral lift. I guess sometimes it helps... I dont know to others... but me when Im depressed or sad, I dont usually escape the feeling... I want my depression to end. SO i meditate for a while, think of the things that causes my depression, feel it, get used to it, cry if I feel like it will help... then slowly it fades... AFter that I begin to see things differently...I am not only focused with the hurt that I feel... I begin to see the other side. Its hard and painful but with it I came to realization and acceptance. There are things taht are not meant to be though how much we want it...There are things taht we have to let go... MUsic plays an important part in this. The lyrics of the music, the tune itself helps me a lot. The way the singer say the words seems to be like its actually talking to me. ANd I better understand the meaning of teh lines when I am depressed or problematic the more it sinks to me. And finally, I feel better... the music when I hear it again it reminds me of the moment that I guess I heard taht music played the best time ever. I guess we all experience that in different manners. And we have our own ways of loving music during the times of depression...

i dont do depressed these days but when i was it was bob dylan 24/7 - just to keep the depression going :( now i do 'Jack Johnson' and 'Seize the Day' and get upset about the world. but they just make me want to get up and do something. especially Seize the Day i feel that i could be an eco warrior :)

yeah,you are right...i always listen to music when I am sad,depressed,happy,or sick...I like music very much.Tell you a secret. The reason I wanna study english is because of i can't understand the meaning of english songs...how blue i feel,so i make up my mind to learn english better than i can imagine!

yes .i listen to musiceven when i am depressed because its changes my mind and i can have some peace.I listen to different types of music because some times when iam sad or angry , my music also changes .But most of the time i like to hear romantic love songs .

Yep, I sure do or either watch some television.

Yeah, it used to make me feel better earlier, but not anymore! Earlier, I did not own a music player or a computer, so it was a great thing to listen to music, but now that I have my own music player, I listen to it so often that it hardly makes me feel better if I listen to music. On the flip side, if there is no music for some reason, I go crazy! Talk about dependence! I'm addicted to music!

Sure I might. But normally, if I am feeling depressed to start with, I tend to play depressing music lol. And so, I just get more into the mood and feel even more depressed. Hence music when used that way does not make me feel better. :P

no. I usually eat more when I am depressed. This way, I feel like I am punishing my stomach ha ha ha! That is a sign that when I eat more, I am depressed. I get used to it he he

ya, i listen to music when i am depressed. But most of the time i will forget about it. Because i am too depressed until i don't know what to do. I will eat less. Thus, i will lose weight. It will effect my entire emotion in what ever i do.

I used to, but I always chose the wrong kind and it made me feel worse. (in other words - if I was depressed about my relationship, I'd listen to love songs). Had I chosen something upbeat, I'm sure this idea would've worked better for me. :-)

ive started this kind of discussion. in my case, i usually listen to music even when im depressed. but id rather listen to music that wont add my depression..
