Thread Topic: Song recommendations for depression?
-
I've been struggling a lot lately with some form of depression and/or "anxiety." I get angry and irritated all the time now for no particular reason, and I've also been getting depressed more often. I feel really lonely all the time, like I don't matter, like no one cares about me, that I'm just an worthless annoyance, and it's just eating away at me.
I'm sure I'm not even close to the only one who has ever felt this way, so what do y'all do when you have this problem?
Music really, really helps me, so that's mainly what I'm asking. But I don't own hardly any CDs, and I don't really browse random songs well. I am not being picky at all right now though--I need help, and I need help fast. If you guys have any music that you personally love, that lifts you from whatever funk you're in, please share it. I need you guys a lot right now.
Thanks so much. I'm sorry for being so needy. I hope this made sense. -

I know what you're going through, I really do. My depression got so bad that I almost took my life several times. Band-aids won't heal gushing wounds. I had to face the spiritual damage I did to my soul. The only reason I'm alive today is Jesus Christ. He gave me real healing from my depression. Today I have real peace that I never found in anything or anyone else. Depression isn't something you have to deal with for the rest of your life. There is true healing available for anyone who seeks it.
These songs helped me and still encourage me today. I admit they are on the harder and more emo side, but there's always hope in the lyrics.

Also, this seems like I good place to mention this. A couple years ago, when I was in the midst of depression, I listened to a lot of Regina Spektor. One of her songs, I Cut Off My Hair, was something that actually spurred some change in me. These simple lyrics caused me to think a lot:
The definition of... a crazy person is... someone who does the same thing over and over again while expecting new results...
I kept "following my heart". I made so many excuses for my actions. I had become incredibly self-destructive. The fruit of my actions brought death in my life.
Christ has never failed me. When I started following Him, I started to reap life and peace. I'm not a unique or special person, only someone who decided to figure out if there is a point to life. You are cared for and loved. Justice and mercy, hope and healing, I found in Jesus.
