Does listening back to songs you enjoyed during psychosis make you get feels or and make you emotional somehow?

When I listen to songs from my 2022 psychosis period, it does.

I don’t like to listen to music that i listened to a lot during bad times. It brings back bad feelings so i avoid it.

I used to get feelings of significance when listening to songs I first heard during psychosis, but that is gone now. They still seem eerie, but otherwise ok.

I remember some of the songs that were popular in 1980 during my first break, they don’t make me emotional. I get more emotional about songs in the mid-80’s. No songs stand out in my first two years of psychosis but once I got out of the hospital in 1983 when I was 22, a whole bunch of mid-80’s music makes me feel nostalgic. In 1983 I was in a vocational program and part of the program was doing mailing projects for the post office. We kept the radio on all day while we sat and stuffed envelopes and put on postage etc. And 1983 had some very memorable songs. That’s when Billie Jean by Michael Jackson came out. We heard that song on the radio about 4 or 5 times a day. It’s when A Land Down Under came out by Men At Work. That song was played to death on the radio too. And also that year Maneater by Hall & Oates was popular.

I remember a bunch of songs from that era when I was still psychotic, Girls Just Want to have Fun, I’ll Melt with You, Take On Me, Tainted Love, Every Breath You Take, Oh Sherrie, Sweet Dreams (are made of these), Don’t You (Forget about Me.) It was just a great age for pop music.

These songs don’t depress me, I was psychotic when they were all over the radio but I was working and living semi independently and I had a few friends and having fun. Psychosis wasn’t fun but great music lifts your spirits. You could say these songs were the soundtrack to my psychosis.

I listened to Pink Floyd’s THE FINAL CUT as a teenager in the adolescent ward and I don’t remember any of it but the beginning.

I was under psychosis listening to these two songs on the radio in my car. I thought the radio presenter was laughing at me after these songs. They are both pretty trippy anyway which didn’t help.

I agree, I do miss the magic a lot, especially as I’m a bit blunted now. However I do know that suicidal thoughts are at the end of the signifigance road.

I used to listen to this, when I was psychotic and smoking in the nineties. I just still like the song.

I threw away all my CDs when psychotic so I didn’t listen to music during psychosis

It doesn’t bother me to listen to music that I listened to while going through my rough patch. I don’t listen to a lot of older music mainly because I enjoy exploring new music as it comes out. Older people who hate everything that has happened since they were young are not only boring, they’re annoying AF. I try not to be one.

Yes and no. I have forgotten much of my psychosis, and I’m happy for that. I believe it’s my mind trying to protect me. But some songs take me back and it is painful.

Crying and depressed in a bad way?

I cried about a psychosis song today, but I kind of liked it.

I guess it’s not in a good way for you.

I’m really sorry to hear that.

Yea they have crazy strong memories attached to them for me.

I like them too.
