i find it really hard to concentrate on literally anything but a panic if im having a bad one! but i do love music and some of my fave bands are listed below. i like a wide range of stuff really but my roots are in metal and goth.

So i love the band called Anathema (always makes me cry if ive had a glass too much of wine [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img] ) Metallica, Pink Floyd, Lacuna Coil. Used to really be into Korn, Slipknot, Deftones - that kind of nu-metal wave in the late 90s.

like a lot of 80s stuff too and cheesy sing a long tunes. i find happy up-beat songs best if im in a semi panic - things to sing along to!

i dont listen to music when i am having a panic attack. but lately i have been listening to music to get my mind off of certain things.

i like all types of music. but i am mainly a alt-rock type of person, but i listen to everything.

my cd collection ranges from incubus to jennifer lopez and everything in between. i love all different types of music.

anythng loud either angry or happy to get my mind off of what im going through. usually whatever is on my ipod when im driving.

[becca_adele]

my go to is always ingrid michaelson's first album. i can sing along really well, and trying to match her voice perfectly tends to make me forget about whatever i'm freaking out about.

Collide by Howdie day (it's a good song

[asianeko]

I know I'm reviving a dead thread, but I found an amazingly soothing song I wanted to share with you all. It's over an hour long, so it's perfect for relaxing and staying calm.
