Sometimes music is the only way I can feel, especially when I'm in a depressed mood. I'd rather feel bad than numb. But anyways, I had to let my music go. Ten years of sappy love songs and big ballads. I can still barely listen to Adele without getting down - only her somewhat happy songs are what I can handle.

I also had to delete my "My Chemical Romance" albums - got figure that THOSE songs were triggering my moods. That was all before I had a diagnosis so it made my moods worse...a LOT worse. *sigh* so sad.

BUT we do what we have to do. Let's listen to Pharell's Happy.

I want to feel something. As long as I am, I know I'm o.k., I'm human, I'm alive.....
