Musical Emotions

Sometimes, it's easier to express an emotion with music rather than with words. Does that happen to anyone else? I'm not even talking about songs with words necessarily. I'm mainly talking about songs without words. There are probably words for what I feel, but I just don't know them maybe. I can relate to songs that don't have words. When I'm not totally out of touch with my emotions, I may feel a really STRONG emotion that I don't know the word for. Certain songs make me feel that way and I feel like I can relate to them? Maybe that doesn't make any sense. I can give examples.

Also: I'm the type of person who thinks in pictures and ideas. My brain is kinda like a soup of thoughts, which makes it hard for me to express my feelings in words at times. (When I can, I tend to do well, though. When I'm serious, I write carefully and it takes forever.)

With the description of your thoughts being a soup, you sound very much like me.  I have an intolerance to gluten that makes it much worse.  I am considering asking my doctor to test me for ADD/ADHD as I have all the syptoms of Inattentive ADHD (formally called ADD):

1. Inattentive Type: A person with this type must have at least six of these nine symptoms, and very few of the symptoms of hyperactive-impulsive type:

• Not paying attention to detail
  
• Making careless mistakes
  
• Failing to pay attention and keep on task
  
• Not listening
  
• Being unable to follow or understand instructions
  
• Avoiding tasks that involve effort
  
• Being distracted
  
• Being forgetful
  
• Losing things that are needed to complete tasks
  

These are all things that I have dealt with for years but it is really starting to bug me.
