The effect of music on the human stress response

[Furyan66]

Wow, Fury, what you say is so true in my case as well. Reading your words is like reading something that I could have written. I can so relate to driving with no place to go while cranking music to help relax me and fend off a PA. I absolutely could not survive without my music. I would take it over any medication or therapist. As with you, it's more than just a pick me up. It's my comforter and my companion. There are times when nothing else but music will do it for me. In fact, that is most of the time. It makes a lot of things possible that would not be possible without it. It is great to hear that it works the same way for you. Sometimes the best things in life really are free.  RM

Tracking with you 110% Rafterman. I wake up to music and go to sleep listening to it.

Everyone has to find what therapy works for them. I too would rather take a little drive out to the country with the music cranked up and maybe a little MJ and usually that calms me right down. Other days not quite so simple but you work on it.

Music by far is the first choice always before picking up that little blue pill...

Peace All

Fury
