I just had a moment like that the other day. I, too, like to sing and make art. My main thing is writing. I had such a low moment the other day thinking I was a horrible hack and just writing the worst kind of garbage imaginable. It's really hard to think the one thing you're in love with doing, that you have talent at and people say you're good at...that that talent isn't real. I think that was the most depressed I have ever been when I was thinking that, so I can understand you must be feeling really low.

Try and remember, it's depression that does that to you. You're not able to look at yourself and life objectively in that head space. Once it passes, you will be able to enjoy marimba and your other talents again. You will realize your true talent.

I stopped writing for a week, and now I am able to do it again. It was being so depressed that was making me unable to enjoy what I do.

Can you call a friend or talk to somebody? Not even necessarily about this, but just to get out of your head for a while?

Best of luck, Alias.

Oh and maybe you can ask a moderator to help you delete it if you really want. I think it's a good thread, though.
