Depression an perception

[Darrell2006]

I've noticed that my perception is effected by my mood, for example music that I thought was negative, sounded more positive when I"m feeling ok, ecspecially poetry, I've noticed that same perception. I want to listen to things that are ok and godly, does anyone else have this feeling and how do you know what is good music/poetry.

One last thought, I think there are also times when I hear something negative and choose to think of the best positive possible meaning..... ok, it's 4am and I'm thinking to much anyway, god bless you and everone..

Hi Darrell,

I agree when you say that music and poetry effects mood. Sometimes when I am down I find it more saddening to listen to country or slow music. On the other hand, I believe writing poetry is a good way to help you feel better. I get a chance to write my feelings down and then I don't feel as sad. I wouldn't go reading Edgar Allan Poe stuff though when you are feeling depressed! I try to listen to upbeat songs when I am down and I try listening to those slower songs when I need to calm down a little while. I just don't think that listening to depressing songs are really good because it can down even the cheeriest mood! Best Wishes to you and I hope you sleep well! Lily00
