I'm a musician also, having studied seriously for 50 years. Last year -- 2017 -- was traumatizing with three psych hospitalizations. Although my meds have largely been tapered, and I'm now on minimal maintenance dosages, I still have residual symptoms of anhedonia and haven't played my instrument for a year at least. I do expect my passion to return in time, though. Only recently I've taken up reading again, which is encouraging.
