Today I woke up feeling really depressed, so much so that I was in my room from 8am until about 4pm because I just wanted to be left alone.
When I got out to use the bathroom, I saw my keyboard. Now, even though I’ve never considered myself “good” at playing, I thought why not try and learn a song. And I did. After feeling the most depressed I’ve felt in days, I was able to escape and now I’m feeling not good but not bad either.
This post is kinda pointless, but I just wanted to share that playing an instrument, even if you’re not that good, can be a good way to cope or at least a good way to distract yourself. x

So glad you found something to help escape the worst of it. 🙂
Music can be a great outlet for expressing your feelings, and you don’t just have to play the blues. 🙂 Just whatever strikes a chord with you right then. (no pun intended)
Even if you’re not “good”, it can get your mind off of things for a couple hours. I used to have an electric piano and it takes pretty intense concentration to work out a song.
Just as good is if you know enough to write a song that reflects your head more personally.
