I used to enjoy music many years ago. These days when people ask me what music I like it is difficult to answer, because I rarely listen to it. I only recently realised that this is probably related to my chronic depression.
I find a good indicator of my mood is to put the radio on in my car. If I can appreciate a music station then my mood is very good. Usually I listen to talk-back radio because this is more tolerable when my mood is just so so.
Anyone else experience a loss of appreciation for music when depressed? I think music may be a way of identifying the difference between feeling depressed and just sad. When feeling sad, sometimes it's nice to listen to sad songs. I can't stand sad songs when I'm depressed.
