People underestimate how much music means to me. They have no idea that music is the only thing keeping me from a mental institute. Music does so many things for me. It keeps the monsters of the night away, it pushes away all feeling cutting couldn’t. It keeps my anxiety down, and calms me when I need it. It’s the only thing I’m alive for. The depression, the anxiety, the eating disorders, the bipolar, the ADHD, the personality disorders, they’d all be 20 times worse without music.
And trust me when I say I’d be dead by now. Without music, I wouldn’t have that one song I have to listen to NOT to kill myself. Without it, I probably wouldn’t have just killed myself, but others too. There’s no way to explain all the ways it’s helped me.
And people underestimate that.

i understand
me too. It keeps me sane, I think.
I can’t live without it too
It has kept me from going insane for years. It was what kept me alive for a few years. Without my music I wouldn’t be alive either
Its been quite sometime I stopped listening to music. I used to. I used to play myself. But now…I know it will cheer me up, make me feel alive, as it has always done. But all turns to false hope when reality comes calling. No more!!
Everything you said is so true. And that is why I turned away from it.
music is the most important thing in my life now
