Hi man about town. I to am a music lover and have been for most of my life im 31 in three days. I remember feelong exactly like you do after i had my son i had a massive panic attack and was left in a continuos state of anxiety with derealisation. I thught playing music would help me feel the reality again and when i sat down at my piano and tried to play it it was alfull, it was as though it just wasnt real at all and i to was devasted. This feeling wont last try just stay calm and do as much relaxation as possible, listen to your music, but dont try and force yourself to concentrate on it because that is just adding more stress and you dont need that. Give it time and you will feel real and the things around you will start to feel real again, you will enjoy your music again that i can promise, this wont last. from a budding music lover sue b music also gives me that spine tingling feeling too.

this just sounds like a fatigued mind to me. I know how important music is to you, but maybe try something totally different just for a little while, or maybe different music, maybe classical for its calming properties. I was very much the same after my first panic attack, all the things I could and get enjoyment from made me anxious and just couldn't work out why, and it was the trying to figure out why that was doing my head in. Sometimes, although its hard just accept this is how it is for now, but it will not be like this forever, honest ! I wish you well, try not to worry too much.

Okay, here goes... I had a panic attack a week ago. I've since been experiencing all the usual symptoms that occur after a full-blown attack, and I have recieved some much appreciated support from you guys. As I said before, I am a musician. Music is not only my career, but it's what always keeps me going. It's the air I breathe, and I'm suffocating without it. Let me explain... I have a collection of CD's that have changed my life, and have always given me chills whenever I put them on. However, since my panic attack a week ago, it seems like a part of me has died. I listen to music, but it's as if my mind doesn't register it. It's like it's just noise, and I have no reaction to it. I can't listen to music, let alone play my own! Why is this happening!!!!??????
