I’m curious to know for all my family out there, what music do you listen to when coping or trying to connect with your higher power? If you don’t have a higher power, what do you use to connect with yourself at the deepest levels?

So yeah I had aqua therapy yesterday and I am in pain today, we are both depressed and trying to get through it and we just found out Anthony Bourdain committed suicide, due to depression!

I am already in pain, am depressed, they disrespected that and caused me trouble and I find out Anthony died! What's a person to do?!

How long did it take for u to get depressed once u started having pain every day? What treatments did you have to help..
Other than therapy and antidepressants?
I've used music , art and other distractions but sometimes that stuff doesn't help. And what happens when u can't hardly walk because of the pain? Do u just fade into seclusion? How do you get up and going when u feel like giving up?
