BIOHAZARD-R-US Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I don’t know how much attention this will get being in the Off Topic section, but I’m sort of in desperate need of help. I’ve been having a lot of things in my life fall apart in catastrophic ways this year and I’m struggling to carry on. Before anyone asks, I’m fine in terms of “permanent decisions”, but it’s still an incredibly dark time that I’ve been stuck in since the end of January. Things have certainly gotten better in some aspects, but drastically worse in others, and the friends I normally can talk to are not really there anymore, and I don’t really have anywhere else to turn. So I’m here. I love my music. I listen to music probably half my waking hours, maybe more. I typically listen to rock and metal, anything from The Beatles or CCR, to Last Days of Humanity or Abominable Putridity. I’ve got some select country, hip hop and pop songs I’ll occasionally put on, but not really my thing. Despite that, what I’m looking for help with is creating a massive playlist of many different genres of music with the sole focus of sparking perseverance (Hatebreed is inspirational metal), resiliency, motivation, etc. I don’t have Spotify at the moment because my phone doesn’t like to maintain Bluetooth connection to my car while using it, but YouTube links would be greatly appreciated. If you have some dark, broody sad songs to recommend too, I’ll take those for when I inevitably need something to relate to. Thank you in advance, and I hope anyone that’s struggling right now finds peace amidst the storm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you don't mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helyx Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 My go-tos are Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Death Grips and CASISDEAD. A few random picks: Yes - "Roundabout" Ahmad - "Back in the Day" Barefoot Jerry - "Smokies" Redman, Method Man & Cypress Hill - "Cisco Kid" Tribe Called Quest - "Scenario" If you're looking for something more high-energy, click my sig.

Jeanolt Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Some indie sad songs: Beabadobee - Coffee (original) / Dissappear The Drums - I Don't know how to love Passion Pit - The Reeling Stereophonics - Dakota Delphic - Counterpoint BENEE - Blu Billie Eilish - listen before i go / when the party is over Other more famous of any genre: Paul McCartney - Junk Nirvana - All Apologies (acoustic) Maneskin - The Loneliest Tourniquet - Evanescence Komm Susser Tod (from Evangelion) I'm really sorry you feel this way. I also discovered years ago that some people that were supposed to be there, never cared. It's always better to look into what you'll do tomorrow, trying to build new memories, connecting with other people. Eventually, you replace them with lovely memories. The year is still not over and you got this. Edited October 2, 2023 by Jeanolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIOHAZARD-R-US Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This entire year has been one implosion after another, and today in particular is somehow the worst of the year. [Insert Simpsons Movie quote about "Worst day of the year so far!"

reaperveteran86 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 There is a english version of this one (Die Toten Hosen - Stand Up) but that one isn`t as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIOHAZARD-R-US Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Thank you for the replies. I made a status post but I think I may have developed PTSD from what has transpired over the last few months. I'm struggling to be able to find someone professional to talk to due to insurance complications, and I'm just looking to know more about that, and Post-Traumatic Growth Syndrome as well. If anyone has any direct experience with this and are comfortable sharing, please PM me. Not to air too much out here but this community is a comforting place for me, and last night was an absolutely atrocious night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangisuckatgamin Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Considering AFI saved me I’d say them. But they may not be for everyone. I related tremendously to the lyrics and they brought comfort knowing someone else goes through the same feelings. Therapeutic if you will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want some great tunes to take your mind off life, pretty much anything from Queen or one of Freddie Mercury's solo albums will do the trick . Susan Boyle is another good pick as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanolt Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) PTSD is hard, but many people is able to improve over time, with therapy, recognizing their triggers, meditation, and a looot of work on yourself, which will help you a lot. I hope you can find the happiness you deserve💕 Edited January 30 by Jeanolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
