Bi-Polar and Music

Music when I feel good... silence when I don't (my mind is working too fast).

Isolation is a huge part of my bi-polar because I tell NOBODY. There is such sigma, I can't cope with how they would think of me. I am here to reach out and communicate again. I have lost all my friends by shutting them out and keeping to myself. I am alone a lot and I'm starting to learn that's not a good thing at all...

I like Hawaiian and flute music when I'm anxious and I need to calm down. I don't enjoy music when I'm depressed.

I can fall into music when I'm depressed. Headphones are just another form of isolation.

Me and my husband are bipolar. We listen to the radio the Eagle everyday and sometimes we listen to classical. It helps a lot. Sometimes I enjoy a good country tune.

It is good and even though there is not much new music we get our feel of rock n roll. Music is good. Peace through music.

Listen to KSBJ God Listens Christian music too.

God will speak something sweet and nice to you.

I am bipolar and we find peace through music.

Peace and happy listening to you.

God bless, I hope this helps you.

JD7680, right there with you on the post-punk. And Joy Division…. oooooh, yes. Number one. (Hmmm, btw, if you change one letter in my username, you get a song title. Sneaky, eh?)

It could be debated whether it is good or bad, but I match music to state I'm in. I don't listen to "depressing" music to get more depressed, it's more like a comfort. Feeling understood with more than just words.

For hypomanic, no surprise, amp it up, fast and loud. (Haha, I remember hitting repeat about a million times on Give Me It (The Cure) while driving one time. I was so up, I had to promise BF that I'd "behave myself" driving, because he didn't think driving was such a good idea in the first place. I'm still not sure how I managed to remain seated.

I wouldn't give anxiety musical accompaniment. Negative agitation I shouldn't, but sometimes do. Usually not though, because overload's already been exceeded, and I'd desperately prefer to be able to calm the **** down. (Even "calming" music would only get on my nerves like everything else does at such a time.)

@Innerzone Yep, I was wondering if your name has anything to do with JD's Interzone
I like to think that I'm medicating myself with music. Even when I can't listen to it, I'd play something in my head.
