It just really hit me hard this year and I realized I wasted my whole life trying to make it in music and I really don't know what to do. This anxiety and depression with music is the worst
You mean like give up on the music biz?Best thing I ever did was give up on music, and focus on playing guitar.
^ThisNo idea your specifics, but sounds like a funk bro, not music and probably not any particular decision you’ve made. Everyone makes mistakes and most of us have some regrets. Grieve if need be, take a break, be good to yourself. Music and guitar have helped me, even saved me at times.
You’re pretty far from sucking Dave.Play to have fun. I suck at guitar and I know it, but I enjoy it, and am not trying to impresses anyone....so F what anyone else thinks.
Take a break if that’s what you need. It’s always here waiting for you when you feel like it again. That’s it’s greatest gift !It just really hit me hard this year and I realized I wasted my whole life trying to make it in music and I really don't know what to do.

Reported.I have not touched a guitar in a month.
No doubt it's not the first time you've had struggles in the business. Re-think some approaches. Take some time to woodshed some new ideas. Maybe start working with a different group of guys or focus on a different type of project. I share many of the same struggles you do with the business. It tends to weed out the weak willed people so you have to forge ahead regardless of obstacles.It just really hit me hard this year and I realized I wasted my whole life trying to make it in music and I really don't know what to do.

Maybe if you stopped touching yourself so much...I have not touched a guitar in a month.
It makes me happy to get paid to play my guitar. Not every time I go fishing I catch the lunker but it still beats being at some meaningless day job.Fuck the music business, play for yourself. Make yourself happy. Fuck trends. This is when you will be the most happy.
.the guitar will always be there when/if you go back to it.
