During one of my hospitalizations, about 17 years ago, I told the therapist in charge how music has a very powerful effect on my mood. He nodded like it was typical but didn't elaborate. When depressed, certain songs can sink me deeper. When on the hypo/manic end of the spectrum, music gives me goosebumps and I feel an electrical current running through me. Like I'm one with the music. I feel like the songs were written for me and my family.
Thanks for this!

i used to (still sometimes), feel that when tori amos wrote upside down, she wrote it for me.

and to add to it, i have no idea how she knows i like the piano... she just does.

i'm convinced

Maybe music can be used to stabilise one's mood, associating "manic music" with depression and vice versa. I don't want my music to be tainted like that, but maybe it would be a good thing.

I to have found music affects my moods. I have specific music for manic and specific music for depression and the truth be told I should listen to the depression when I'm manic and the manic music when I depressed. LOL Music is amazing.
