Depression has robbed me of a lot of different things. One of them for many years, like you, was music. I'm just now starting to get it back. It's difficult because my depression has never lifted and the desire to play is difficult when I spend so much of my energy just trying to stay alive.
I'm sorry that you've lost this and I advise finding a way back to it. It's very theraputic and it really isn't too late. We're around the same age so it's not too late to pursue the passion of just creating music and drawing. The truth is, sometimes the only way to lift this depression off our shoulders slightly, is to fight against the very thing it's trying to take away from us. Easier said than done, but still possible.
