Is music your type of therapy?
Music can be a form of therapy for a lot of people.
Do you consider music to be helpful for anxiety?
If so, what are some songs that help you through troubling times?

Hey! I sure believe music can be a form of therapy in case of anxiety. There have been instances where chocolates and music have been my saviour in those extreme low moments. I prefer light, instrumental music to calm down the cluster of racing thoughts in my mind. I feel relaxed instantly. It takes the burden of the overflowing emotions away, so subtly.
What is your form of strategy to overcome anxiety?
@trueconfidant123
I am glad to hear you have a type of music that helps calm down your racing thoughts
For me personally, it would be listening to calming sounds, such as waves or rain for two examples. Sometimes I listen to some of my favorite music :)
@heathermarie95
I can agree. Sounds of nature are definitely soothing. Try listening harp music, it's heaven.
@trueconfidant123
I will give that a try, thank you!
@heathermarie95
Music helps me a lot
@Nicole20021
I'm glad it helps for you!
Is there any particular genre that is helpful for you ?
@heathermarie95
For me music is like therapy, sometimes it helps to listen to songs used in movies, it helps me remember the passages and eventually when I focus on a certain passage I end up distracting myself and forget about anxiety attacks, normally I focus on music from Indian movies, I imagine myself dancing and stuff.
😊
that is interesting! im glad that is helpful for you!
@heathermarie95
I listen to heavy rain and thunder with a calm playlist in the background
those are great. its a good way to fall asleep as well
@heathermarie95 it definitely is. When im anxious i just play whatever song and its ten times better.
@heathermarie95 PP1 by Frakkur, and yes i know the name sounds dirty but its a stimboard song and it helps my panic attacks :)
Yeah it definitely is, especially music I can't resist singing with
It does..
All of the Classical musical stuff definitely calm down the nerves.
When I find that I have little or no interest in music, it is a sign that I am not well (very depressed, anxious).
@heathermarie95
I have many forms of anxiety. I don't find music soothing for them. Some music is even the opposite overwhelming me with extra input when I am already overloaded.
