Holy Cow - that is one long-assed list!!

dx: BP2, BPD, ADHD, OCD and there's probably more...but we're just ignoring it all until the BP2 is under control (as if I need more things to obsess about...LOL).
Rx: 10mg of Lexapro, 50mg of Topamax, 150mg of Lamictal and holding strong while pdoc sniggers.

Yet reading through, I thought of several songs missing for many letters....and promptly forgot them when I clicked on the reply button.

I saw this thread and could not resist. "not an addict" by K's Choice is an absolutely seductive, hypnotic song. My pulse quickens just thinking about it. Thank God I am in recovery now. I'm sure it's still on you tube.A song left off the list is "Shooting Stars" by Billy Idol (1992 I think). Again thank god I'm in recovery. Another tune about 'using'. Can't listen to many tunes that I once did.

Now thats a great song title.

Um yeah theres quite a few there, but quite a few missing but then it would go on for 20 pages easily.

I've been listening to a lot of Apoptygma Bezerk (electronic/gothic) and it seems about 50% of their songs are about MI.

"Paranoia", "skyscraping (schizophreniac)", "mourn", and the song "deep red" has really worrying lyrics etc etc. Makes me wonder if someone in the group is MI, hey 1 in 5, its highly likely.

some of the song titles in the list above, ahhh I don't know if really they were written about MI, but then give me any song thats contains references to emotion, addiction, loss, obsession etc, and there you go, you can apply it to the subject. You can always see what you are looking for if you try... hey look up in the sky at those clouds, its a bunnyrabbit!

Nice list, thanks for sharing

they neglected John Frusciante's "Been Insane" (guitarist form red hot chilli peppers) but then again i dont even know whether this was released at all.
and he really was insane for some 10 years. i mean totally big time batshit crazy. there are interviews with him at that particular time. no nice videos.

Pretty much anything by Earshot... and to say nothing of Tool!

Me: MDD, AD/HD, Aspie/HFA/PDD-NOS/WTF, REM behavioral disorder/misc. sleep issues, systemic infection involving mostly the brain and lungs w/Parkinsonian syndrome and chronic bronchitis respectively... and if that weren't enough, I have prolonged and repeated PTSD, with continuing emotional trauma at the moment. Genetically inherited Kallmann's syndrome (KS/IHH) explaining some of the aforementioned.

Meds (in flux): Lamictal, Cymbalta, Remeron, Synthroid, methylphenidate-ER, penicillin-derivative antibiotic du jour, clonazepam.

What about Anna's Song by Silvechair?

Isn't it about OCD?

Or rather a girl with OCD?

Definately not. It's about a girl with anorexia.

"Try Not to Breathe" by R.E.M.?

(Deals with suicide--might be triggering.)

This post has been edited by Artemisia: 21 August 2008 - 04:23 PM

The Relevant Basics:

Diagnosis - Depression
Current psych meds - fluoxetine
Previous psych meds - Zoloft (worked), Celexa (didn't work), Effexor XR (worked); neither Zoloft nor Effexor XR worked the second time around; Lexapro worked but made me want to sleep 12 hours a day; chlorpromazine and benzos make me feel more depressed and leave me with a "hangover"

i'd be curious to know which band has the most songs on there.

oh, and i think i'd add 'upside down' by the jesus and mary chain. they weren't a particularly deep band but i'd say that one is about a mood disorder. it's an awsome song if you're like me and like acoustic feedback.

I'm surprised the list didn't include "Breaking the Habit" Addiction is the most pleasant interpretation; suicidal depression seems more appropriate.

"Bleed It Out" reminds me of some of the therapy rants I've read

I can't believe I forgot "Sumtimes" by Taproot... it really does seem to describe Borderline and/or Bipolar.

What I excel in best
is my excessiveness
Self-deprecation, I hate myself sometimes
How can I be down
when all that I want is in my reach?

Points very definitely agreed upon.

"Nobody's Listening" is a lyrically similar rap by Linkin Park/Mike Shinoda from a few years back, too.
Also, "Crawling" seems to describe a case of PTSD of some magnitude...
