Venting Anyone else put their music on max volume to make your thoughts quieter?

Idk if anyone does that as well, but when my thoughts start to spiral ig, I don't know how else to put it. I put on my headphones and I play music literally on max volume or noises like rain, fire place and so on. Most ppl who have iPhones prob now that, but yeah you can switch on some background noises, I only noticed that recently. Well anyway, when it's on max volume it blocks my thoughts and I like that. I know it's just a temporary coping mechanism, but it helps to calm me down a bit

Better be careful with that! Tinnitus is right around the corner. And you will have a whole different can of worms then .

No, but I listened to music too loud for years & now I have tinnitus. It's on the milder side & has nothing to do with why I'll CTB, but tinnitus is some people's main CTB reason. Imagine never being able to hear silence again, and having silence replaced by an ever present high pitched sound .

I used to listen to songs on high volume. Like Everyday by bon jovi

@DeathSweetDeath
Mine is still mild too. Let's hope for the both of us that it doesn't progress.

Yess, I was about to ask what songs you listen to when at your lowest and for me it's hardstlye (bc it's very loud and mostly loud noise and somehow it kinda gives me a feeling of power and I feel more free) with high volume. Often times slowed or ultra slowed.

But when I feel moderately suicidal I listen to calm atmospheric or depressed music - sometimes high energy music, but slowed and reverbed. When I was like 16 or 17 I've listened to a youtube video in loop when I couldn't sleep. I had been awake for 48 hours because I couldn't sleep, but this playlist-video became my ultimate comfort somehow. It's called "i'm so alone and it's getting worse again, a playlist (slowed)" by anemoia.

My music taste is very broad and I've made a playlist for when I'm depressed (and a separate one for hardstyle).

Bingo. I got mine from a combination of playing/producing music too loud and head trauma. It's not intolerable, but it's always there.
