I always listen to music when I am sad or when my mood is off or when I am tired. I really feel relaxed and my stress reduces. I listen to romantic songs and sweet music which is pleasurable to my ear......do try it you will see the difference!

It`s crucial for me to listen music when i am sad. Well, it depends of what kind of music you listen, i like to listen instrumental or classical music, it helps me calm down and relax.

Yes,I am doing same thing because when I listen all the music except the sad one .When I listen to sad music I am getting more hurt and I like to be lonely .If be with friend than my mind won't forget the situation which I had before.

When I'm sad I try to listen to happy and uplifting music to get myself to cheer up. It usually works. I enjoy music that really makes me happy, and that really speaks to me. I have a playlist of songs that I think are really uplifting and help me when I'm in a bad mood.

Music can be very helpful in making you feel better and get over your bad mood. It can be the words or the beat or tune itself. I find the music can be happy or upbeat to make me change my mood. Sometimes though it does make me feel better to listen to sad or slower music, maybe it is just good to wallow in my misery, as they say, to feel better. Whatever your preference is, I find that it helps to have music.

I do. But I listen to rock, or R&B whenever I'm sad. In this case it reduces my sadness and makes me think of happy thoughts. Usually i often do this and it makes me feel better at the end of the day.

I love to listen to music because it inspires me to perform better in what I'm doing. It helps me get away from boredom and puts me in good spirits.

Yes, I listen to music when sad, but also when happy, feeling normal,... I almost always listen to music, cause without it, it makes me feel like there is nothing going on. Even though listening to some music makes me sad, cause one evening I went to a performance of a girl, and we almost had relationship, but the day after she wasn't really into it yet. Ever since I had problems with the music I heard that evening.

i do it myself, too. most of the time, i listen to the songs of taylor swift and carrie underwood, you know, country music stuff for that laid-back feel. but when teen-angst overpowers me, i listen to rock music...then suddenly shift to love songs to cease my anger. :)

Yes It depend up on the music and why I am sad.Mostly I listen music because it's makes me feel happy.I usually listen music which is emotional and makes me more depress.Which can make me feel happy for the day.

it depends on the music and the reason why i'm sad. sometimes music makes me feel more sad when it brings up memories. so sometimes i'd rather not listen to music when i'm feeling so sad. but when i do, it's usually music which i wouldn't remember the reason. so i usually end up with screamo or metal music when i'm sad.

I used to listen to romantic songs when I felt down but it would just make me feel worse more often than not so I turned to Alanis Morisette. All her songs are so emotionally angry, and I love screaming along to the jagged little pill album. Always makes me feel better!

I am not so much fond of listening music. But I used to listen music whenever I am free and but not in tense mood. Whenever I am in tense mood, I used to match some comic scenes from youtube and meet my friends and start some comedy.

Yup, i listen to music when I'm sad. It makes me think and reflect on what have I been doing all my life that needs to be change. A relaxing instrumental music would better for that.
