For those of you who don’t know what 5HTP is, it’s one of the building blocks of serotonin, and a dietary supplement that is sold as an antidepressant. It also happens to be the title of my go-to playlist for anytime I’m feeling down. Since last week beat me up emotionally and mentally, I’ve decided to share it with you. In addition to taking breaks to read anything not related to WWII, I’ve been listening to this playlist quite a bit, usually on my commute to school, and it has helped tremendously.
What songs do you listen to that help you get out of the dumps?
Ooh, you’ve got some good ones. “Dog Days Are Over” got me through a lot during undergrad. My boyfriend introduced me to Monty Python/”Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” and now it has another good association to make me smile. 🙂
You already discovered my love of Queen. Freddie always works wonders to bust me out of a funk.
