I went through a deep depression the suicidal kind. Switched off from everything. It had a strong anger base, caused by being devalued at work. Turned the anger into a positive to not let depression beat me. One of the major problems was the destruction of confidence and self esteem. Took to music to fight those by singing and playing guitar in public in local folk clubs.

The first song was one of the toughest personal challenges I had to face and I felt I was not particularly good with the nerves shot as they were.

However it has been a regular therapy since and has helped keep depression at bay.

Find your angle and fight back. Music for me was a positive therapy.
