I have been depressed for a very long time. The ONE thing that has pulled me out of the gutter time & again is music. Unfortunately, when I was so over-medicated; I wasn't able to enjoy anything. What I like about not being medicated is that I am able to enjoy music: it gives me hope!! Without hope, what is there when things are as bad as they can possibly get??? During the past 3 years of being confined to a wheelchair due to stachbotrys mold poisoning that nobody ever caught & being told I couldn't walk because I didn't want to, being verbally abused by a nursing facility that I was in during that time, doctors pissing on me (they might as well had), etc....... The one thing that pulled me out of that entire mess & gave me hope was Bon Jovi singing Bounce!!! And I played that song over & over & over again. And still do when life just sucks!! And it took music to give me hope enough to get out of that wheelchair (even though it took months to fully be able to walk on my own) & say the hell with what those quacks & everybody else thinks!!! And for some reason or another, what I really needed to hear was the words & the music of the song Bounce. If you haven't heard it, you should. Just remember; when all hope is gone...... as a music therapist..... you have an opportunity to give HOPE where there isn't any left. No doctor, therapist, or any other health care person is able to do that. So, when all those other health care persons tell you it's hopeless; DON'T BELIEVE THEM!!!! They just don't understand that somehow music brings hope.
