Seems like everywhere has music these days
used to be a problem for me
thinking the songs were programmed against me
or to strike out at me
it happens rarely now, and I want the music
when it’s too quiet I get nervous
some passing voice is going to be about me
in a flippant sort of way
I’ve never been into music, but even less now. I like quiet place. If I listen to too much music I feel like it comes after me. I’ll start hearing faint music wherever I go in an ominous sort of way. Makes me really nervous. So I don’t listen much anymore.
hmmm, I thought Jack White song about black licorice was about me
since I used to consume a lot of it
yeah quiet is good for reading and writing
but I can’t go one day without music
The teacher I work with often plays music while the kids are doing independent work. It’s usually something with a beat to it and it makes me struggle. It feels almost painful. I don’t think it bothers the kids though.
On my own, it varies. Sometimes I need quiet and sometimes I need really loud music. Sometimes I need classical music and sometimes something harder. Music is definitely a major part of my life.
yeah, my babies got classical from womb til age 2
my son still likes it
Give me a quiet place. Silence is golden. I never switch the radio on in my car. I do not listen to loud music. Once a month or so I’ll listen to some of the mp3’s on my phone through a blue tooth speaker.
do you think it’s from voices and noise during psychosis?
I hear music sometimes when it’s not there
it helps then when I plug in
I do not hear voices @Daze . It is just that my mind cannot deal with much input. It is as if my brain overload when there is too much stimuli.
I have sort of developed the ability to shut myself off from external noise.
I suffer from tinnitus and sometimes I use the fan as white noise to destract my mind from it.
I never used to listen to music, except for when I would practice piano. I always preferred the silence. But, this morning, God told me that He wants me to start listening more to classical music on streaming sites. So, I signed up for a subscription to Spotify and I’ve been listening all day today. It’s been very relaxing and a different experience from what I’ve been used to. God can sure come up with good ideas sometimes.
I do on the NPR station a lot of mornings, the classical
glad you were guided toward that. Sometimes I get too depressed
over classical, just have to recognize those feelings.
