I don’t listen to John Lennon’s song Mind Games anymore as I find it very triggering.

Twisted Transister by Korn lol. It was my fave song while psychotic in my 20s. I heard messages in the song directed at me, plus the melody moved me. I thought it was a love song to me from some parallel universe.

I listened to it like on Friday because youtube put it in an autogenerated playlist called “my mix” lol, so i played it and got a little antsy and memories of psych wards and wandering around high crime streets at 2 am while psychotic came back to me…like 10 years later its still as vivid to me as the day it happened. Some days i will avoid triggering music, but on weekends i confront it so i can vent my memories a little.
I no longer think im being called the “devil’s little sister” by the lead singer of Korn though, so thats a plus!!

Rush’s “Free Will,” when I’m psychotic, sounds to me like an unholy anthem, a radio chapbook for everyone to learn and live by. “Tom Sawyer” is like that for me, too. But, stable on my AP, I can listen to or play these songs and enjoy their energy.

Dunno yet about Soundgarden. If I heard “My Wave” or “Spoonman” I might lose my sanity for a bit. Superunknown is definitely triggering for me.

soundcloud Rap used to feed my delusions heavily. I thought whatever song I listened to, it was about me and this girl i want to be my wife. don’t mind me though, because im still very delusional despite being high functioning and stable

I wasn’t delusional or psychotic at the time, but when I was a teen hearing the song “Bittersweet Symphony” by the Verve, I thought I could be unstoppable. It was a good song to exercise to.

I will never forget what I saw and experienced while listening to Mozart’s Rex Tremendae (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhpxWHOl9D8) when psychosis first hit. It was incredible.

I haven’t heard music that made me grandiose, but I have heard a lot of music affected me strongly, but now that I have access to so much free music that those songs don’t affect me so much now.

I really love Mew, but a lot of their early music reminds me of when I was psychotic and had no help.
The song ‘She came home for christmas’ I haven’t heard in more than 10 years because it triggers so many bad memories that I turn into a sobbing, blobbering mess instantly.

Strangely enough, I had a psychotic episode where I kept listening to the song ‘Highwayman’ by The HIghwaymen over and over again, I must have played that song repeatedly hundreds of times. It took on a really deep and profound meaning for me. I still love the song but I can listen to it ‘safely’ now!
