Whats music do for you?

What's your favorite type of music? I can go from Metal, to Rock, pop to hip hop. (yes I can get crunk when no on is looking) I guess that would be during one of my manic episodes. I firmly believe that music is therapy for the soul and can help with words when we can't find the meaning to something we need to say or the meaning to feelings we can't express.
I have noticed sometimes I can get extremely frustrated if I can't listen to my music when I need/want too. So is it true.. is music a drug?? If so I guess music would be a drug of choice for me. There are days, well lets be honest.. there are NUMEROUS times throughout the day I need to put my headphones on and tune out the world and just close my eyes and the let the music go through me and just move my body. Or there are times I can relate to a song so much at that exact moment I can't stop the tears flowing.  Nothing else makes me feel free and escape this world of the mental prison i'm in (unless its my xanax) I guess what Im trying to say is.. You don't necessarily NEED the drugs to make you feel good or feel like you can escape. Some read, some run or dance. You just need to find what works for YOU. Not everyone is the same. My non drug escape is my music. I literally have my iPhone attached to me with headphones in my pocket because I never know when I will need that "fix"
Use your music to help you at your darkest times to help you crawl out of that hole. Use it to make you feel powerful. To help you get through the day. Find a favorite band or a favorite artist that you can relate to. Music is an extremely powerful art form in society. Use it to your advantage.

So whether you need a good cry, to feel powerful, sexy or you just need or want to feel bootylicious do it with confidence and hold your head high! I know I do.. I get crunk!

Time to go down to electric avenue…

Until next time. Be your own mental health warrior.
