I really don't know where to post this, or where it should be. This was the right place I thought, seeing as it's something that really isn't helping me with... the D word.
About a month ago I recorded a piece (acoustic & vocals) & everybody left really nice feedback, compliments & everything! Really positive stuff! One comment in particular shot me over the moon. Since then I haven't been able to record anything. I don't know what it is, I've done everything the same, same clothes, same drinks, it's driving me insane. I can't play my guitar any sense, I can't sing and it is getting me so down, just curling up on the floor, smashed my microphone... Ahhh, I just can't take it, why am I so useless?! ....Really hating myself right now.. ![]() ....help?

Hi VerseChorusVerse, welcome here. Not sure if I can help, but this reminds me of something I've experienced. I used to play the organ in church. The more compliments I got the worse it made it for me to try to play again in front of anyone. Also, if I'm playing and someone compliments me in the middle of it I then start making mistakes. What has helped me a bit, is to think of it more as playing for "me".... not for those compliments, even though they do feel great and make us proud. It made me, anyways, feel like I couldn't do as well again if I tried. Remember, to do this playing for your own enjoyment. It's great when others appreciate what we play, but remember to have fun while doing it, and nothing has to be perfect. I hope that helped in some way. Depression makes everything more difficult to do, and to concentrate. Hugs

Hello VerseChorusVerse, beating yourself up for not finding that creativity is probably the barrier. I know for me, the creativity comes usually when I least expect it! Hang in there, it will come back to you! Hugs
