A Depression Playlist
Sometimes the lyrics of a song articulate so beautifully and powerfully what’s going on in your head. This is especially true when you’re stuck in a phase when your mind is not cooperating or worse, it is actively working against you — you need an external voice to quieten the voices in your head.
Here’s some that have helped and continue to be a support system whenever I feel slipping into the dark corners of my mind……I hope that if you are in a similar place, that they might bring you some comfort too. I must emphasise that the best way is to seek help — either a trusted partner/friend or professional. You are not alone despite how you feel or what you believe now.
