This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I try to zone out listening to music a lot to help keep my mind off my life. I lot of times it really helps but I have to change what I am listening to a lot.
Sometimes happy music makes me feel better but other times it just reminds me of how much I hate living but listening to melancholy music can have the same effect of just making me worse.
Anyone have any suggestions of music to listen to? Lately, I've been listening to everything from Ace of Base to Skrillex to Munford and Sons to Gotye to Randy Travis to Linkin Park to Everclear

i also find classical pieces very calming.
You'll get to sample a lot of different genres/types of music on there!!!
I don't know how to recommend any to you. What works for me may not work for you.
And, as you've stated, even the music that works for ME doesn't always work for me!!!!
Sometimes, I love to wallow in the sad music.
Other times, I find it suicidally depressing and I can't bear to have it on!!!!
Sometimes, loud, energetic music really keeps me feeling great!!!!
Other times, it grates on my nerves -- fingernails on a blackboard!!!!
There are days I must have constant music and days I can't force myself to listen to ANY!!!!
If I'm not in the mood to listen to music, but HAVE to pick something, I might go with 'The Mummers' Dance' by Loreena Mckennitt.
