I also am one of those people who have turned to music to help cope. I find it can be the most amazing mood lifter, even with a sad song as its like your not alone. Someone else has felt that way. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety 13 years ago. When NO one talked about it and you didnt tell anybody. It was very lonely at times with only my husband who truly understood me (with my help). I didnt understand it myself. I would do a lot of soul searching trying to come to grips with the disease I had. During the day was tough when my husband was at work so I turned to music to help me get through my days. This was before Facebook, and I would get up, go to the computer and play online euchre with the radio on. I listened to it from 6 am until 3-4pm, every day, nonstop. And what I noticed was that it lifted my mood. I would be sad and lonely when I got up and the next thing you knew I was bopping around and singing in my chair. It was great! One song that got me through different stages of my healing was Unwell by Matchbox 20. When I was first diagnosed it help me realize that Im not crazy, Im just unwell and everything is going to be fine in time. I also had my husband listen to it (he is big into music as well), to give him a little understanding about what I go through. And now, over a decade into my understanding of my depression, it is kind of an Anthem for mental illness to me. Im including the link to a video with the lyrics. Give it a listen. It really helped me through some tough times and I hope it helps you too. youtube/watch?v=6risofLzDZM
