Have you stopped listening to music?

[Tig]

Some good bands in there. Is your pain physical or spiritual/emotional? Nickelback is wild hahah

All the above, physical mostly thought.

i love love love listening to music and can't go a single day without listening to at least one song. i attend university so whenever i'm walking to class, i'll pull up something to listen to. in the car i'm listening to music, while brushing my teeth, while working out, and while i'm bored. it's an integral part of my life and wellbeing.

earlier last year when i was dealing with one of my episodes of depression, i would loop "submarine" by the marias which i highly recommend! they make bedroom pop. but that album really helped me through dark times

I'd go insane if I stopped listening to music.

Yes, after she died--Older music was a passion for us, but despite trying many times since her death, it's still not possible for me to listen to anything anymore

I'm so sorry for your loss. Xo how bittersweet to love someone so much that losing them means you miss them in proportion to it. I'm sorry xxxx

Powderfinger,

Do you know Powderfinger? As I'm Australian, perhaps that's why I used to like them.

I will check them out.....

I've noticed that I don't enjoy listening to music anymore. I used to love all kinds of music but their meaning is void, now. I am not depressed. The reason I want to ctb is chronic pain for many years and some tragic debilitating results after many negligent surgeries.

Anyway….i wonder if I'm the only one who noticed this? I only listen to podcasts or meditation music. It may be linked to the pain and the fact I can't dance like I used to….

Can anyone relate?

Same with me. Used to love songs when life was good before my chronic illness and CPTSD raised its head. But now, every song i hear when I put on the radio in my car reminds me how life used to be and makes me depressed. I only hear relaxing repeatable music, no songs.

I can 100 percent relate to that. Seems a bunch of us are in the "no lyrics club".

Since were in this club i must confess there is one song that I do here and enjoy the lyrics. Its the M*A*S*H theme song suicide is painless and its soft and soothing, I used to enjoy it when i felt good to, though i was never suicidal:

That is very interesting and unique and made me smile.

Anime music is all I listen to nowadays.

Happy It made you smile! I wish you many more smiles what ever path life takes you!

I've stopped listening to music since I fell into severe depression. Everything I listen to from my playlists triggers a flood of sad memories. Listenting to other people's playlists is slightly better, but I have anhedonia so it brings no real pleasure.

I really miss getting excited by music, loosing that pleasure is one of the things that makes me want to CTB.

I can completely understand that. It seems like a lot of us can relate. I find it really interesting. It doesn't bother me that I've stopped listening to music. We change and grow through life. I now only listen to instrumental and pod casts. I feel like there's a maturity that comes along with it.

It's bittersweet to hear your sadness but relate to how you're mourning that older version of you. If I haven't worded that correctly, I apologise. Thank you for sharing that with me :)

I fully relate. I stopped listening to / enjoying music, too.

I did stop being able to listen to music for many months after my breakdown. Then I started to be able to listen to some, but nothing like before. Now I can listen to all the music I used to like as long as it doesn't contain triggers. Interestingly, what changed it was listening to SaSu members' recommendations and music they're currently listening to. I've found my ctb music ill play, and my calming music, via SaSu members

 

[J&L383]

i listen to music every day - i can't live without music

Music is one thing I look forward to, although it's almost exclusively classical. Meditation music sounds great, but right now I'm still on the old-timey broadcast radio.

Thank you. Likewise

That is really interesting and I'd be keen to know any of those songs to see if I can relate..would you be happy to share what one or two of those are?

Old timey broadcast sounds very grounding and wholesome.

I used to love music, I listened to my favourite bands all the time. Then depression came and I noticed that no only I do not listen to music anymore but it actually bothers me a lot. So whenever I am in the car for example, I turn the music off as it bothers me so much. It is really strange and I thought I was only like this. I sure am glad that others have this awful symptom too.

You're definitely not alone. While not depressed, I stopped listening to music a long time ago when I realised I was calmer driving in silence. I felt more at peace with myself. Now, it's because I have chronic pain. It can be for a lot of reasons…and healthy reasons, too x but it appears you're definitely not alone.

thanks for posting this. It's a good song

 

[anagram]

I don't listen that much these days.
It makes sense for suicidal people to stop listening to music. What's a bigger affirmation of the will to live than music?

 

[HelloDarkness25]

Sadly, yes. Been more than two years since I was able to listen to the music

 

[rozeske]

Wow, i thought it was just me. It's been more than a year since I stopped music, youtube, tiktok....all things i used to enjoy. Interestingly, I've been interested in watching the news which I used to absolutely hate.

That is fascinating how many people can relate to this. I'm glad I asked….it obviously makes a lot of sense given how much I have changed ……how much my activities have, too.

, i thought it was just me. It's been more than a year since I stopped music, youtube, tiktok....all things i used to enjoy. Interestingly, I've been interested in watching the news which I used to absolutely hate.

I can definitely relate….i do watch things I used to avoid, too. I can't say the news is one of them….unless it's fairly reported. I definitely dig that.
