Hey folks, I am just curious how long it took you guys to start being able to listen to the radio again? I love music, but this was also one of my stbx's big things- he has an enormous collection of music- and very eclectic taste- so except for country music (which is too sappy for me right now anyway)... no genre is safe. I will be feeling fine, but then a song will come on that makes me have a very strong memory and my mood can shift on a dime. I have actually had to run and shut the radio off to stop the flood of emotion. I hate this because I really enjoy music- but I just can't trust my emotions yet. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Best,

Try different types of music, you might find that you actually like other types. I now listen more to classic rock, cause we listened to more modern music together, including country! Besides the classic rock brings back happy memories of my teenage years!
I can totally relate! I LOVE music, it's a part of my everyday life, but there was a time when I couldn't listen to the radio. For me, I think it took about a month. I didn't want the radio to spark any memories or emotions, and I knew it would. I was feeling enough as it was, and I didn't want anything to spark any more emotion than I already had.
The true answer though disappointing, is it takes as long as it takes. Sorry I have nothing more to offer on that. ;)
