Music has really helped when I'm dealing with depression, I have a specific playlist I use when I need something to help me get through an episode or to keep myself from falling in. I have to thank Mumford and Sons for truly helping me get through some of the tough times. They're song "The Cave" has one sentence in the lyrics which I can really relate to: "I'll find strength in pain."Another song which has helped is Float On by Modest Mouse with lyrics that say: "Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands, Good news will works its way to all them plans." I actually wrote that message on the inspiration chalkboard at the hospital before I left.
My playlist includes:
Float On - Modest Mouse
The Cave - Mumford and Sons
Little Lion Man - Mumford and Sons
Don't Stop Believing - Glee Cast
Alright - Shiloh
Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles
Hard Line - Jill Barber
There She Goes - The Las
And sometimes when lyrics prove to be to much...classical music can be so soothing.
My name is Hannah Matthews. I am 20 years old. I have a secret and it is called depression. The reason for this blog is to discuss my longtime battle with this illness. In an answer to lack of personal stories about getting better and changing the norm I decided to do something about it. I don't represent everyone with mental health illnesses, but I do know what it's like to feel isolated. We are not alone. I am breaking my bell jar.
