This is something I do, which works for me. Instead of music, I listen to stand up comedy. There are a lot of specials to listen to free on YouTube or comedy albums for purchase. Unlike tv or movies, you can listen to it at a desk on a smart phone like music with no need to see the screen. I actually find it much more pleasant than music. I have a couple of favorite comedians to listen too. After I listen to the routine once, I don't find it distracting anymore. Even if I feel awful listening to favorite jokes makes me remember what it is like to laugh. Hearing the audience laugh makes me feel less alone.
Just a thought.
Working depressed feels awful at least with comedy the time passes a bit more quickly.
