In reply to Music as Depression Therapy?, posted by Greg on May 4, 2000, at 8:28:10
I agree. Music is the only non-medicinal drug for depression that works for me.
The problem is you have to find the right music at the right time. And even then, the break from depression only lasts for the duration of the music.
Music often makes me cry, but not because I am depressed. I can feel the notes of the music resonating inside my body. There are certain types of music I cannot even listen to in front of other people--like opera. I'd love to go see one, but I'd be sobbing most likely. I am not sad when I'm crying or more depressed, just emotional.
Music can really take-me-away from myself, and that in itself is a relief.
This is my experience Greg,
Janice
