sidewinder Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Yeah, in a sense that's true. Get to the bottom of why you're feeling that way, and maybe act on it, rather than pretend they don't exist. However, one way to get over depression is to not think about it and move on with your life. In other words, get out of the funk and try to keep your spirits up.

Guest chax Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I'll usually listen to depressing and/or aggressive in some way. Emotional hardcore. Like right now. Boilermaker. And I just got back from seeing Sunny Day Real Estate. I wish I was one of those people that would put on something upbeat when I felt depressed, so I could get out of the funk faster. i actually read an article a while ago about how this journalist decided to only listen to black/death metal in order to beat the depression he had in getting laid off from his job. it's a good read and might help: http://happydays.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/06/dance-with-the-devil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretstik Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Last time I found music didn't help at all, which surprised me considering how much of my time I invest in it. It either exacerbates the mood through being too close to it, feels meaningless because it's too abstracted or I'm too self-conscious that I'm trying to either distract myself or find something to relate to and the whole thing feels too false. So I'm going to try and ride out depressive moods in silence from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z_B_Z Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 the track "holocaust" by big star. most certainly one of the most depressing songs ever committed to tape. and jandek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springymajig Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I haven't been properly depressed in a while now. That kind of frustrating depression that sometimes hits you when something dissapointing happens... usually I listen to Boredoms - Chocolate Synthesizer, it's harsh and noisy enough to be cathartic, but cos it's so zanny and weird it makes me smile as well, so it's like "AAARGH I'M ANGRY!" and then eventually I forget what I was angry about and I'm like "WOOOOO YEAH!" But obviously I can't have suffered any sadness that's particularly crushing if it takes less than an hour's worth of noise rock to take me out of it. If I remember right the last times I was actually depressed I didn't feel like listening to music at all, it all seems boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GrandPopPoplock Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Most likely I'll pop in some Boards of Canada , Radiohead or Sigur Ros . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hautlle Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Last time I was really depressed I listened to a lot of Sufjan Stevens, especially the album Seven Swans. Not sure why. I still love that album! edit: I also remembered that every other song on his Welcome to Michigan! album is hella depressing but still great. I really fell in love with 1,3,5,7, etc on that album... I think it's becuase while they are sad they are very realistic and true stories. damn I need to get that album back onto my minidisc player for bus and bike rides. AND THIS from Illinos! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdfiXdrmXA8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 if i'm depressed and want to wallow in it for a while i'll put on late talk talk or sigur ros, or something a bit more rocky like silversun pickups. but if i want to cheer myself up, the sure fire winner is discipline by king crimson - it's just got such a great mood to it - not necessarily uplifting but it's my version of party music i guess.

plisb Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 first that comes to mind would be goodbye goodbye by mr paradinas or stuff like autechres vletrmx21, but on second thought that is music that I listen to when I'm feeling somewhat detatched from what surrounds me for the moment, and the feel of "just me" perhaps. And that would account for more moods than just being depressed.
