Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System?


I was unsure how to pose this question.

I don't mean in a any technical capacity, as in, your system for some reason is not sounding good and therefore you can't stand to listen to it or some component is not functioning correctly.

I mean in the sense that your having some issues in life perhaps that is affecting you emotionally or mentally and you are unable to enjoy your system.

For me there is some personal issues that has been affecting me and my family for the past couple of years and there are times I just am not able to sit down and enjoy the rig.

For the past month I have been unable to bring myself to listen to anything. Heck, even hardly been on this forum.

I know different people deal with issue's in different ways. Some might completely immerse themselves in their system to forget about the world for a little bit.

I mean that would make sense. Music is not just enjoyable but therapeutic. 

I should actually be using my system even more in these type of times but I usually just seem to lose interest in things I like when I am a bit mentally disturbed due to some issue going on.

So I am just curious, do you any of completely turn away from your system or the opposite, immerse yourself even more?

Thnx

Try to put on a channel of something where a person chooses the music, even if the quality of the sound is not perfect.  For me, it is XM jazz, channel 67.  Don't listen to the rig, but to the music.
I do hope you can come to terms with your sorrow asap, as I am certain most of us are..
Music is the healer.Everyone has a special Artist and Song that always helps them .If there are times your system bothers you then you need a new system. 
Hi Jay-

Yes, certainly, we have all been through periods like this or at least most people have.  I have also found that when I'm physically sick - flu, cold, strep - I do not want to listen to music and when I flip on the stereo habitually that is the sign that I'm feeling better.

In terms of mood affecting desire for music, I won't go into the deep advice some are providing - I do think much of it is good advice -- but I will stay a level shallower. I have found that it's not a bad time to look for some music that speaks to your current mood rather than to try to jam in your otherwise favorite genres into a mood where they don't fit.

In other words, if you are having trouble relaxing and experiencing a lot of anxiety, try Indian or Middle Eastern or North African music, or another kind of ambient-related genre. See if you can find something that speaks to you now.

Good luck and hope you are feeling better soon, and that your family issues work out!
