I'm feeling completely alone and miserably depressed about my ex-girlfriend right now. We broke up a couple years ago and it was pretty devastating for me. I've tried to get a lot of help but nothing really has made a difference. I kind of believe I'll never actually be happy again and I'm getting pretty sick of waking up everyday to that feeling.
I could use some music to help deal with these feelings. I like kind of somber, sad ambient stuff. I've been listening to a lot of Max Richter and Stars of the Lid. I could just use some devastatingly sad music right now that I can relate to. Doesn't necessarily have to be that kind of ambient, though if you have suggestions like that it's definitely welcome too.
sorry to hear this lad. have you tried dating other women? getting your heart broken again is the best cure to get over her. you kind of replace her with another girl.

I have. I've gone on a bunch of dates and stuff and it's just kind...not there. It just kind of feels like I'm forcing it, and I haven't really been attracted to anyone else since her. It's a scary feeling and I don't know how to shake it, and it kind of makes me feel like I needed whatever it was she represented to me and now I'll never find it again.

you have to force yourself out there and find someone new. you will break a lot of hearts on the way but it is the only cure. you have to use other women as sort of bandages. i know it is cruel to them but remember you are the one who needs healing. go all the way with them until you find one that zaps you.
also listen to happy music. not religious music. like soft rock from the 70s. england dan and john ford, todd rundgren kind of stuff.

I have been. I'm actually swiping through Tinder right now, I'd have gone out tonight if I weren't so hungover from last night. It's just hard because just even like from the most basic or selfish point of view, I don't even want sex or anything at all, I have no desire for even that. I've still tried and have had a bunch of one night stands, but they sort of just make me feel a lot lonelier. I'm hoping therapy and stuff will make it better but it's slow so far.
I like sad stuff for cathartic reasons when I'm feeling extra depressed like I am tonight. But I'm open to suggestions for anything that's helpful in any kind of mood.

This is my gift to you OP, I'm feeling somewhat like you
Ok yeah I'm listening to the first song on the Rachel's album and I can see what you mean. I really like this a lot, thank you. I'm gonna add both of these to my queue.
Juan Adams
Yeah I really love this Rachel's album so far, this is excellent
Mhm. A long while ago someone on Sup Forums recommended to me Max Richter for liking Rachel's, specifically memoryhouse. So if he dug Max and Rachel's, figure you would. The Sea And The Bells is their best work I reckon. However their first album, Handwriting, is also full of darkness.
Oh shit, I do like this, I remember a friend of mine showed me Lemonade years ago and I forgot about them and I've tried to remember who they were lots of times but never could until just now.
Jonathan Peterson
Yeah I really like their sound, I quite like the emotionality of it a lot. I also kind of dig how it sounds like classical music being played by a band, but not necessarily in a post-rock sort of way, kind of like Olafur Arnalds is to me IMO.
