I don't know why I do these things to myself, but I just bought Alica Keyes new CD today and while listening to it on the way home I had to pull off the road and cry my f**king eyes out. I love music, love it. Espically the Blues. Makes sense right, I'm depressed so I listen to the Blues, but lately it seems that any type of music just makes me cry and cry. And this Xmas music oh please Lord will someone please find the universal turn off switch for this shit...I can't go into a store w/out being reminded that yep, I'm going to be alone at Xmas....Maybe I'll try to find a wino and invite him over. so the question is this: does music help your depression or make it worse?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I find that I cannot listen to songs that WERE my ex's and I's songs,its just too painful.
I still listen to alot of music,alot of it is new to me since our seperation and alot of it is music I used to listen to before we were together.I sometimes will play sad songs to let out my apin and sadness other times I will play inspirational music to give me strength.
I think music is very important to one's personal discovery and recovery from pain lonelieness and depression.
...however, OMG! Yes! Someone please find that switch to the Xmas music and shut that stuff off! Nothing more depressing to me than that.
