Is it possible to get addicted to music?

[Trey22]

Maybe it depends on your mood and mental state, how you're feeling, and what is going on in your life. People turn to different things to ease the pain and/or forget. Booze & music seem to be the perfect combination for me.

There are times where a song that makes the hair on my neck rise has to be played over and over until I am sick of it. Unless that happens I have this hungering for that music and nothing else seems to satisfy that craving.

A friend's preferred method of therapy is music over anything else. She says the satisfaction she gains from it cannot be topped. It's her safe haven, her refuge.

Once I start listening, I can't stop. Help?

Feel free to share your "I need a drink playlist"... I'll throw one up shortly.

Cheers,

Trey

Edit: How much does music affect your mood?

It's possible to become psychologically addicted to anything.

So it must be pretty awesome for your friend to listen to music while she's having sex, huh?

Meh I used to feel that way and then it kind of faded away

My thought exactly.

I'm not a big music person, but I do get a little obsessive compulsive with some songs. When I first heard Crazy by Gnarls Barkley, I'd stop what I was doing when it came on the radio. Then I went and got the soundtrack, and played it over and over and over for weeks.

I stopped listening to it for a few weeks... then I popped it back in last night, and it just didn't have the same affect it did. I guess I'm over that addiction.

Sounds like he has discovered Cheap Trick.

If so then I'm guilty, I rarely do anything without music on. In my car, at work, on the computer, playing guitar myself, etc. Everything in life is enhanced with music in my opinion.

I have a lot of OCD tendencies that I can pretty much kill off with the right music, I think it totally has an effect on your mood if you choose it to.

QTF. If I didn't have music, I probably would be in jail right now...

Someone needs to tell her that chatting online is not really "sex".

There's a live version of U2's "One" floating around on the Internet performed with a full string symphony. That always makes the hair on my neck stand up. And it might be a cheesy song, but Something Corporate's "Konstantine" has the same effect on me.

music is great, but I have yet to find any tunes that made me orgasm.

get that girl a Sybian

 

[OVerLoRDI]

I used to absolutely love music, mostly when I first started using my computer a lot. Now listening to music is something that just kind of fills silence. Although every once in a while I will find something like the OP is talking about, something that is just jaw dropping and makes me want to listen to it over and over again.

There is a cure. Set her radio to a country station and pull the knobs off.
