Very promising...

I used to love to sing. At open mic nights, in a group of friends (which usually involved someone with a guitar and some other random array of instruments) In the last 4 or so years I'm almost completely lost interest in it. For me, depression didn't hit me like a ton of bricks, but came on slowly making itself apparent through my increasing lack of interest in things I used to love. I'm not completely healed yet and I still have my ups and downs, but I have noticed some encouraging improvements. Yesterday I bought a studio mic and downloaded some new audio editing software, and I sang for a while. It felt great and I can slowly feel my passion coming back. Very promising.

congratulations on finding yourself again. I hope you are able to continue to build and grow your passion until you have fully healed yourself.

This is really encouraging. I took singing lessons in junior high and high school, recieving state awards. When depression hit I couldnt imagine getting in front of a crowd and singing, it wasnt really that easy before. A few weeks back I did some karaoke with a friend. It wasnt a very easy song but we pulled it off. I had the feeling afterwards that this was a real sign of progress for me in beating my depression and I look forward to more fun singing again. Im happy for you. I think it takes courage to sing for other people and theres something in the sense of accomplishment that boosts confidence and a sense of well being. I hope you continue to work towards your own sense of freedom and happiness

It's good to hear you are finding joy in what you feel, passionate about, again

Thanks for sharing!
