Yup music totally influences my mood and I can change which mood I would like to be in with a song, when I'm struggling. When I'm balanced it's not as easy. Everything you stated is true and I have talked about this very topic with my doctors.

I have to listen to music though... there is just too much *noise* in my head going on... sometimes just being able to control what I'm hearing is what keeps me from going off the deep end.
