Is it possible for depression make you stop liking music like you used to?
Of course, depression can make you not give a shit about every facet of existence.
absolutely. depression makes you not enjoy things you usually do, like music.
>>54164083>>54164069Damn it
>>54164040I dont enjoy music when im depressed. It just sound meh.
I've grown out of my Who's Next era The Who phase because of dark times.
>>54164040depression made me stop listening to a lot of the music i grew up with and loved and i've resorted to minimalist sad music and noisebut when i'm on a lexapro kick i tend to enjoy some of my old music more
>>54164040It happened to me. It's weird actually, it only got worse when I started taking meds, so I stayed numb to music even if I wasn't feeling like I wanted to die anymore.
>>54164040my music taste actually improved many times over when i quit being a depressed faggot child
>>54164040I find music is one of the only things that helps me feel less depressed
when I forget to take antidepressants nothing at all interests me and i feel like ass all daySo yes
yep. pretty soon you'll be content to just sit in silence and think "ah, I could listen to music, but I can't find the energy to find something worth listening to, and even if I did it'd probably be 5/10 it was all right anyway".
>>54164040This movie was complete shit
THREAD REVIVAL:Can sad, angry, misanthropic, and nihilistic music negatively warp a person's personality, and can the reverse happen with happy and uplifting music?>Pic vaguely related
>>54165908If you're listening to that music in the first place, you should have enough existential understanding to know they are not in themselves depressing but rather celebratory of man's creation of meaning
Depression can enhance depressing music
Say you were dating a girl with the same tastes in music as you; does anyone find it extraordinarily hard to listen to your favorite bands because somehow they became infected with memories of her and you doing things?>tfw it's actually not so bad now - but it was really bad at the beginning of the breakup. We agreed to be friends today, she started snapping me again :^)
>>54166104You know, my gut was saying to omit nihilism to prevent distortion of meaning.Forgive me.
>>54166267>we agreed to be friends todayThis is such a great feeling. My last ex was my best friend throughout high school and the years after that as well, and when it ended and other shit went down I thought I lost her forever and that hurt more than the breakup. Last year though we were able to make amends and I'm so happy to have her back in my life. High five anon. :)
i actually just saw frank. we can all agree that it was just mediocre contrivance right? the way they portrayed the music production/composition process was so fucking cute-quirky it made me kind of sick.>lol so creative and random>you have to be crazy to make artfor real what
>>54166432>you have to be crazy to make artyou literally missed the entire fucking point of the movie
>>54166432You idiot.
>>54166446the main character was a dolt, frank was not capable of normal life, and the girl was an asshole. what was the point?
>>54166432> movie> your head
>>54166396Thanks! Honestly though, I'm a pretty persuasive person - I straight up convinced her three days after the break that we had to keep seeing each other, that things would change, and in a bit of time, everything will feel more natural and real again. Even if she doesn't get back with me eventually - I'm not worried about finding someone else slightly.She's the first "ex" that I'm friending too by the way. Feels like a personal milestone.
>>54164214ayyyy lexapro gang \m/
Shit, i dont even like music. it just occupies me. It does a decent job at forcing the overwhelming urge to off myself to the back of my mind, not the front.
>>54164318>"depressed faggot child"this hurts people, dont do this
Depression made me more aware of emotion in music
>>54166432I got the same thing out of it as you>>54166446>>54166465>>54166484frankly it's garbage
>>54167108for me this is only true because i couldnt feel the emotions. everytime i listened i thought "great, theres another thing that has no effect on me", whereas previously i would have just felt said emotion and moved on
>>54167132That's sociopathy, not depression
>>54167201its apathy, very common symptom of depression
I haven't actually thought of it like that, but it's probably true. I've been listening to the same amount of music, but it hasn't been particularly enjoyable, it's just been noise in the background.
>>54167201Apathy =/= sociopathy
>>54167238>>54167337Supreme gentlemen detected
>>54167354nice
>>54164318oh would you look at how well adjusted you are!you're the faggot
Depression is actually a good thing thoughComplete ego death and rebirthIf you make it through though
>>54167397>if you make it throughyeah maybe not aye
>>54164040I enjoyed this film. It's comfy.
>>54167354>they're right so I have to insult them to retain my dignity
>>54167518>it's no my fault I'm elliot 2.0>it's his faultnice try ell
>>54167539Who the fuck is elliott.
>>54164318I agree with this. I realized the cause of my depression was that I wasn't satisfied with my immature antisocial personality, and changing my personality flaws helped me escape depression.I really was a total faggot.
>>54167337>>54167238>>54167201Never trust a person who claims their soulesness is just 'apathy'
>>54167559>soulesnessCould you be more vague? At least "apathy" has an actual connotation.Although, I reckon you're right, people who don't give a shit about anything don't seem like the best of friends.
>>54164040I don't know if it's depression, but the past few days I've felt horrible and I can't enjoy anything, including music. The only thing I've been listening to is low frequency sine waves which seems to help.
>>54167580>The only thing I've been listening to is low frequency sine waves which seems to helpBye
>>54167591>ByeI don't understand
>>54167610>The only thing hes been listening to is low frequency sine waves which seem to help him in his life>Doesn't understand how autistic that isMakes sense I guess
>>54164040All the time. On the other hand, depending on your mood, it can enhance the emotion behind certain works. I definitely felt a stronger connection to RHP's Rollercoaster and also Pet Sounds during periods of low mood. In a way, it's kind of cathartic to wallow in that feeling even if it doesn't really help, at least you remember that you aren't the only person to experience that feeling.On the other hand, there are some days when even wallowing doesn't help and you can't get out of bed. That's not abnormal if you're depressed.The worst part is when you hit a high, imo and things start to return to normal before nosediving back into the abyss, the emotional rubber banding doesn't do much to help you back out of a slump.
>>54167634It's just good to have something to block out the silence
>>54167545>doesn't remember the RodgWere you asleep for all of last year or something
>>54167760Oooh. That guy. My sister was one street away from where it happened.I don't get what your point is though.
