1. All things considered, I‘m feeling okay today.
2. Music always helps my mental health.
3. I‘m such a nerd, I listened to the LOTR soundtrack.

DebinHawaii I find I like “medieval lofi” when I‘m reading & songs from the LOTR soundtrack come up often. 🤗 2w

Kerrbearlib Late response again. I LOVE the LOTR soundtrack! My husband is a huge LOTR fan. We played music from the soundtrack in our wedding. I get a little teared up when I hear The Shire now. Such beautiful music. 6d

1. I don‘t feel great today, if I am being honest
2. Absolutely… music helps me with so much in life
3. I am a mood listener, when life gets tough I turn to hard rock

LoverOfLearning Been sick for a month and in a massive reading slump. Just started another round of antibiotics and steroids. Ick. I can't focus on read and can barely listen to an audiobook. Ugh. But yes music is essential to me. And my dad is a drummer in a small local band. :) 2w

kspenmoll @LoverOfLearning I am so so sorry. I just am finishing up prednisone & antibiotics due a bronchitis infection. It‘s exhausting. Sending you healing love.💕 2w

LoverOfLearning @kspenmoll similar for me! And you too hope you are finally starting to feel better! 2w

DebinHawaii Hope you feel better soon! Bronchitis is no fun! 😷💜 2w

BethM Same ❤️ 2w

Thanks for the #MentalHealthMonday tag @Kerrbearlib

1️⃣ Tired! Weird sleep last night & too many meetings today.

2️⃣ Yes, I use music to both relax & to feel happier.

3️⃣ 80s pop mostly, the sappier the better. My favorite playlist I named: “80s Sappy Makes Me Happy” (it‘s not all 80s-some 70s & 90s snuck in) but it‘s songs that bring back good memories & I like to sing along to. Linking below in comments. ⬇️

Anyone else want to share?

"There is something I don't know
that I'm supposed to know.
I don't know what it is I don't know,
and yet I'm supposed to know,
and I feel stupid
if I seem both to not know it
and not know what it is I don't know.
Therefore I pretend to know it.
This is nerve-racking
since I don't know what I must pretend to know.
Therefore I pretend to know everything."

Trashcanman Hi Michael, I hope you‘ve been well. Lozano1830@gmail.com 2mo

Bookwomble @Trashcanman George!!! 😃 It's good to hear from you 😊 I have been as well as a curmudgeonly old man can admit to! How've you been? It would be good to see you active on Litsy again 💖 2mo

Trashcanman I don‘t think I will be active here again. Although I miss certain people. I don‘t feel like I contribute in any way to this community. I take away from its beauty. You were always nice to me. I always admired you, your intellect, your insight, and most of all your kindness. I don‘t know if you use email, but if you do I‘d love to have a correspondence with you. If not that‘s okay too. Life keeps being life and time keeps moving forward. 2mo

Bookwomble @Trashcanman Speaking for myself, I find Litsy an inclusive space, and one where your posts were welcome, and I would find them so again 😊 I'll email you soon 💖 2mo

Bookwomble @Trashcanman Just in case it arrives in your junk folder, a quick message to let you know I've sent you an email 😊 2mo

Psychotherapist R. D. Laing's poems are distillations of the emotional and psychological knots into which people tie themselves as their relationships entangle. I think I may like these 🧶❤️‍🩹🪢

I have had the worst couple of weeks ar work. My boss, the top guy in our company aside from the owners, quit without notice. I've been crazy busy as a result. To keep my energy (and mood) going, I've been listening to my dopamine playlist on repeat. Part of the track listing is pictured. Music is my therapy. 🤣
