Yes Liz, I have. I recall that one thing in particular assisted me to move beyond that state of mind and emotion. The piece of classical music by Chopin, referred to (errantly I might add!) as his
Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2
Chopin, 1835 The piece was "gloomy" in parts, which resonated with my depressed state.
Gradually, I found that this piece soothed my moods, and I would listen to it for over an hour in a school library with headphones. Then the exhuberant and "spiritually" uplifting ending reminded me of a spirit leaving a body upon death, and ascending to heaven.
The other musical piece which also uplifted my shattered spirits at that time was Mussgorski's
"Pictures At An Exhibition".
Since discovering these pieces, I was lifted from suicidal depression, to a sense of comfort. The works of the composers lead me to the study of the great paintings.
Thus, by stages, I entered upon a path which eventually instilled within me a sense of quiet harmony and confidence in myself.
