Music has always been my go to when I’m in a bad place. But lately it’s been causing me grief…I seem to cry at way too many songs, songs that in the past have helped me. I’m starting to worry that my safety net might now have a hole in it.

Hi @Rogue0257
Welcome to HeartSupport and thanks for sharing your experiences especially on a topic related to music sometimes there could be those songs that really connect to what we feel or situations that we are going through that could react to our emotions and grief may be from those emotions that connects you to the song. The ears are pretty much a gateway so what we listen to us will definitely spark our emotions which is completely normal because i also had a experience with music during a hard time that broke me down to tears as well. So, especially with music it could break us down from those hard times.
That grief you’re feeling could be from something Trama related or something else. Ending with this i don’t think you’re safety net has a hole in it. Just that you’re emotions just connect to the music which is acceptable.
Hold Fast.

It sounds like music has been a really important part of your life, and I it can feel unsettling when something that usually comforts you starts to cause you more pain.
Sometimes, music can hit us harder than we expect, especially when we’re going through a rough patch. The songs that used to bring comfort might now bring up emotions or memories you weren’t ready to face. Sometimes, what used to soothe you might feel overwhelming now.
It’s okay to feel upset by this change. It doesn’t mean that your safety net is broken; it just means that you might need to adjust how you use it. Maybe you could explore different genres or artists that you haven’t listened to before. Sometimes, new music can offer a fresh perspective or a different kind of comfort.
Another thing you could try is using music in a different way. For instance, you might create playlists for specific moods or activities, like something uplifting for when you’re feeling down, or calming tracks if you need to relax. It’s all about finding what works for you right now.
And don’t forget, it’s perfectly okay to feel what you’re feeling. Emotions are a natural part of life, and it’s important to acknowledge them, even if it means letting yourself cry it out. Talking to friends or a counselor about how you’re feeling can also be really helpful.
Been a while since i even looked at this forum…
In a weird place lately, kinda riding the edge, it’s like my body/mind isn’t sure if it’s gonna go Manic or Depressed. (Raging Bipolar here, otherwise known as Ultra Rapid.) Yet, kind of numb, so the musical issues I was having isn’t present right now.
