Idk if I posted about this before, but I have always been a very emotional person and music connects with me on a very deep emotional level. Much of the time when I listen to music it kind of "takes me away", and i suddenly feel completely different, I get images in my imagination of places that I remember, places I've seen in dreams and just places I want to see... Like just forests, fields, and sometimes cities... Sometimes I can't really tell where. It's not so much of what I see as what I feel... It's hard to explain but it's not a hallucination or anything, more of a state of mind. And it brings peace, I just feel safe and happy there. It's strange and confusing, but I'm so grateful for it because it offers a bit of an escape from my depression. I asked my therapist about it. She seemed interested and asked me if it was a hallucination, I told her no and tried to explain that it's more of a feeling I get. She said she thinks it's great, and that it's probably just the way my mind tries to deal with the depression. I just thought that was really cool and wanted to share it with you guys. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? Even though it's no longer something that I'm worried about, it would be cool to know that other people get this too
