Shit

I feel like shit. Is it good or bad to listen to sad music. I like how it helps me release emotions but it takes me into a deeper sadness. I feel like no one would care if I died. I don’t want to act on anything. Just thinking how it would be like if I never existed.

I would care... very much. If you need to talk to someone there's a textline in the US 741741 just text them "HELLO" and they'll connect you to a counselor, otherwise you could check the crisis link up on the menu.
When I was in a suicidal place, any kind of music made me feel worse. It's probably best to take a break, maybe listening to some calming sounds instead?

years ago when I really suffered deep depression I bought a tape of Stanley Turintine The Man with the Sad Face.....man that was a depressing album but I loved it.....I have not heard it for years but your question made me think of that album....I played it over and over and over again.....eventually my life began to get better thru counseling with a psychotherapist....psychiatric psychotherapist....he went all out for me and helped me god rest his gentle soul now that he has passed years ago from cancer.....

I understand feeling this way but also learned that feelings can't always be trusted. I think there is a time for sad music but it can be taken to extreme so make sure to balance yourself by getting out of your head and finding things that uplift you. Hugs
