Awesome post man... I really think that one of the best things we can do, is talk about our problems, our feelings, be true to ourselves... I admired James hetfield so much because he, being a rockstar, acknowledges this and thats the reason he is now sober.. "we should never let anyone dictate to us in this way, force us to accept their love, time and energy or indeed , control how 'they want us to be" this pretty much sums it all.. and finally, being a musician too I´m also glad that we have music to let it all out.. \m/

Cheers man! I'm in the middle of a low point and had to re write this post just remind myself that things aren't always as bad as they seem. Music is my therapy and I'll go and write a new song later as a coping strategy! Cheers for the support.
Posts like this need to be trending in my opinion!

I completely agree with you man! This kind of post need to be trending... Sometimes just knowing that you are not alone with this kind of feelings helps a lot... That's why I love songs like fade to black by metallica... I mean.. If they were so low that they wrote that song.. And now are one of the biggest bands ever... What in the world can stop us?... Btw.. Can't wait to hear your new song.. I recently wrote a song as a closure from my last relationship.. It's in my blog \m/

Great article and glad to know there are many others that had to go through similar stuff for years but decided to do something about it like you explain in the post, I have struggled for many years with social anxiety and many of the feelings you explain here are so familiar that i could say they are my own. I would also have to add that reflecting in the dark sometimes makes the light shine brighter, so many times we believe that we have to be fantastic and great all the time and neglect those moments of self reflection. We have to also learn when we are deep in the descent ... we need to understand that moments like this are necessary to build a stronger more accepting self. Positive attitudes should be crafted inside our minds and not created out of thin air just for the sake of being temporarily happy... Thanks for writing th
ese type of posts is always refreshing talkin about things that are so hidden and people tend to ignore for fear or disbelief...be strong and know that there is also a way up the downward spiral....\m/

Hi Dave and thanks for the support in reading my post. I'm struggling at the moment and needed to re write this blog post from a few months ago, just to remind me how far I've come! Being a musician is fantastic and being able to write a song is also a gift, I believe. Music has been my comfort blanket since I was a child and will always be. My current bout of having 'Self Doubt' and feeling of 'Worthlessness' will pass, I just need to ride the wave! Thanks again for connecting with my post.
I wish you a good day my friend.
