I'm dependent on a song for sanity
21% Normal
3 Comments

It used to be an addiction to a song - fairly innocent.

Now I think it's some kind of psychological dependency issue. Once my mp3 player ran out of battery when I was at university and I started hyperventilating because I wouldn't be able to listen to this song. One time I left my mp3 player at home intentionally to try and break the addiction and I almost started crying at school, I am not joking. I was with my friend and I was stressing out. She calmed me down a little, but I still think this is a little strange.

I listen to this song a lot, about 50x per day or more. I can stop myself from listening to it, but if I don't have the option of listening to it at any given moment (ie. mp3 player is not with me) then I start to panic. Is this normal?
Do you think it's normal?

i personally think your suffering with anxiety attcks which is what i suffer from and this song is a comfort to you.
for me my comfort is having someone i know with me or having a bottle of drink with me.
it is a normal thing that a lot of people suffer with but i think you need to go to your doctors and tell them how your feeling because they can put you on medication for it im on medication and it does help alot. i hope this helps
