I have clinical depression and over the past few week I've been struggling with suicidal thoughts. I've been seeing a therapist and taking medication, but I've been doing worse lately than usuaul.
One thing that always helps me is music with aspects of angry, depressing, and introspective lyrics, maybe with a bit of humor mixed in, but humor isn't necessary by any means.
Can I please get some recommendations that fit this? I'm not looking for any perticular genres, just well written lyrics, solid sounding music for someone struggling with suicidal thoughts, without any angsty teen bullshit (I listened to enough of that back in high school).

I've already listened to that album to death, but as pointed out, it unfortunately has quite a few songs with angsty lyrics. I can forgive it compared to a lot of other albums I've listened to for depressing lyrics, it's definitely not nearly as angsty as some 2deep4u shit like 21 Pilots.
I actually didn't hear of AJJ until a year ago and their lyrics totally aren't angsty, m8. The considerably angsty shit is clearly being satirical.
Thx, m8s. I'll check them all out.

you're not going to get over your depression by listening to wimpy ass indie music
scare the living shit out of yourself. move and vibrate your fucking body. try crying heavily, and/or take a cold shower. only retards with no resources use music as an escape for depression.

Are all shit.

I really like people who can eat people, and I listened to knife man the other day on my commute and enjoyed it actually, but I can't get past some of the cheeseball lyrics. The song about straight white males...is it tongue in cheek? Is it sincere? Reality is somewhere in between far left and far right interpretations, so either way I can't listen to it. Michael Jordan of drunk driving was a nice opener that made me feel though. That's my novel
What the fuck is wrong with you conditioned fucks? You're depressed because you have energy in your bodies that's screaming to come out, so let it out and stop holding it in. Fuck what society says about emotional and bodily expression -- it's the key to fighting depression.
Kayden Garcia
What's crying and a cold shower going to do? Crying always makes me feel worse
David Evans
^understands reality
^doesn't understand reality try analyzing how you feel *after* you cry, because that's where the feel-good factor of it is located. why do you think humans have the crying mechanism in the first place? to sit there and look pretty? it's to release body load, nigga. it's perfectly natural.
and cold showers are incredible antidepressants, you should try them.

Do I start hot and get colder over the course of one shower or just make them a little colder over time? I'll try one later today because I know you swear by them
>angry, depressing, and introspective lyrics, maybe with a bit of humour mixed in You literally just described this album. There even is some humour if you dig deep enough
Luke White
what i do usually is wash my body and hair with warm/hot water quickly (so i don't use up too much water), rinse, and slowly work my way towards colder temperatures
it's going to be uncomfortable at first but just focus on your breathing. good luck user, break those fucking shackles.
t. no real world experience, probably eats like shit, doesn't participate in any bodily or emotional expression(s) whatsoever, list literally goes on.

i prefer action over giving into the pharmaceutical definition of depression (which is exactly what i did for many years) and i've never been happier. you know nothing.

This should be exactly what you want tbqh OP

You're depressed because you're scared to express. Be a man and break. fucking. free.

Fucked up things to write to someone suicidal desu. Life gets better op (I hope)

useless post but you're right, it's pretty screwed to tell people to kill themselves
a little humility goes a long way, /mu.
Cameron Hall
I'm doing very good these days but thanks for your concern
the only thing that's making me mad is you dumb shits trying to pass your drivel as advice when in reality it's a fucking detriment to the OP and an insult to decades of smarter more successful people trying to find an actual solution to this problem

I need to feel sympathy I need to know OP
We're talking to an attention whore. "I want edgy music because I'm depressed lol" Is this a game?

>blind appeal to authority my sides!!!!!
ever wonder why little children don't get depressed unless of course they live in shitty conditions? because they've yet to be told by society that it's "not okay" to express their emotions and their bodies. seriously, look at children, they're all over the fucking place. their bodies are always vibrating and they're always expressing what they feel. that's nature, motherfucker. in and out, yin and yang. if the cycle of expression isn't completed, a sickness gets manifested, and in this case that sickness is depression. i'm speaking from many years of experience. look into yourself and you'll completely understand.
Jeremiah Scott
lmao typical "depressed" person. still keeps his narcissism on deck to act like he knows everything.
"""""""""""""depression"""""" my ass.

God-trips disagree with you, and I'm going to have to side with them, even though I've never heard that album.
Leo Perry
Fuck AJJ. Listen to Ramshackle Glory's album "Live the Dream" and then all of Pat the Bunny's work.
Pat has actually gone through serious shit and lived on the street for nearly a decade, being a heroin addict, burning all his bridges, having depression, anxiety, and just being in the worst situations imaginable. His lyrics are fantastic and the instrumentation is really nice. Despite all his sad shit, most of it has a true and uplifting point.
I went through serious anxiety and depression issues, his music helped a lot.
Ryder Martinez
What is this retard even talking about?
Thomas Price
If anything you should listen to some happy stuff Listen to Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun and get ya self moving Life gets better op

This is what I've always been coming back to for the past 8 years when I'm feeling like this.
William Cox
Wtf i hate psychologists now
Luis Perry
appeal to expertise is not the same as an appeal to authority, you dumb freshman
Christopher James
what should a depressed person express? at least in my experience, the worst part of depression is that you actually don't want anything, there's nothing inside to express rather than it being repressed
Nicholas Bailey
Same here, desu.
Ryder Barnes
with that said, make no mistake here, i recognize that there's a time and a place for everything. you can't just start screaming and throwing yourself into hysterics in an office building or a church. indeed, pick out a time/place (nobody has to watch) and EXPRESS. give it your fucking all. who cares how ugly you'll look to yourself? stop judging yourself. society has fooled the lot of you. you're allowed to scream, you're allowed to cry, you're allowed to flail your body around like a baby. exhaust the living shit out of yourself. it's OKAY.
why do you think people miss their fucking childhoods so much? because of superficial reasons like video games and toys? bullshit.
>c-crying is for b-bitches, unlike myself... i'm a real, stiff and rigid man... faggot
>mental gymnastics don't play this game homie you'll lose
depression, being a sickness, has its side effects, and one of those side effects is quote unquote "feeling nothing," and having this empty feeling inside.
i promise you, it's not real. depression is a nasty demon and it's lying to you. you're a human being, not a robot. try meditating and really looking into yourself, man. you have emotions, you just don't realize it yet.

also feeling very depressed today, some music recommended was pretty good, though crying in a shower and punching a wall helped the best, that guy's got something with the vibrations and shit. Also -- try to replace despaor with anger. >The cure - Pornography >The goslings - Grandeur of Hair >Manic Street Preachers -- The Holy Bible >Have a Nice Life -- Deathconsciousness >The Smiths entire discography >Giles Corey -- Giles Corey >GY!BE >Silver Mt. Zion And also >Alvin Lucier -- I am Sitting in a Room somehow helps, maybe due to the hypnotic effect
Jace Foster
Can we get more non-rock recommendations in this thread

so you can feel depressed, AND classy
at least if someone walks in on you dead with this on they'll be a little bit impressed
Ignore the stupid video, just listen to the music.

kids aren't depressed like kids don't have breast cancer. It's just too early for their biological firmware to have been fucked up by either endogenous or exogenous factors.
