I can absolutely relate, and you're not alone on this one! Music has generally been a huge part of my life. I started playing the piano at age 5. I took lessons until I was about 12 yo. I developed a love for "adult" music at about age 7. My first ever album was Elvis - Live from Graceland, which was acquired at a yard sale. I bought many, many albums at yard sales - Elton John, Genesis, Billy Joel, etc. The mother didn't understand my love for music at all. I had to beg for the 10 cent albums I did get, which were often scratched and warped.

Anyway, I go to live concerts whenever I can. I suppose I've been to at least 100 shows in my lifetime. I have 100's of CD's, a few tapes, and some albums in my collection. I have most everything loaded up to iTunes, so I have about 3,000 songs on that thing.

Over the past 3 years, I've had quite the struggle with depression, and some anxiety. For a good 2 years, I had no interest in listening to music I started listening exclusively to podcasts and NPR. Music seemed annoying to me for the most part. I definitely didn't go out of my way to listen to anything. I felt like I was never going to want to listen to music again - nor play an instrument.

Good News - Depression has been easing up over the past several months and my love for music has returned. Yay!! It can happen, even after a very long time! I hope your interest will return very soon! Hang in there, and never give up!
