CREATE AN EMERGENCY PLAYLIST FOR TIMES YOU NEED LOVE&COMFORT

I've had one since I first starting hearing voices in 2015; back then I couldn't last a day without needing the escape music gave me, but this gave me an excuse to update it :)

There's nothing more comforting than pressing ▶️ and just blocking the world out, and more importantly blocking out your brain.

I try to avoid too sad or potentially triggering songs, as much as I try to limit any songs I feel are too upbeat; but there's still a fairly eclectic mix of bouncier songs mixed with the tear-provoking ballads. I can always skip something I'm not feeling in the moment, but my tastes are pretty diverse and my moods vary so it's helpful for me to have a good mix rather than to attempt a 'one genre cures all' approach; I could end up with so many playlists!

I definitely recommend people create playlists for things; break ups, workouts, boredom, pre-drinks... Saves so much time, especially if you're me and shuffle is a dangerous game of roulette when you have company and you have no idea if it's going to be heavy metal or a show tune next 😂
