Seeking Help
Mental stress can cause us not to be able to see the good things in life and lead to excessive rumination or worries which can result in serious health problems. If you have serious, long-term problems with negative thinking and feeling depressed, see your doctor or talk to a therapist if they are related to any mental challenges.

I helped a local Dire Straits cover band a lot of years ago playing bass, Lead guitar and vocals was a friend through cycling. Bass players in particular set the rhythm other bad members play off, looking back my poor sense of timing (ADHD) combined with not being able to focus on both hand at the same time was bound to be an unmitigated disaster. Oddly I did 4 other equally forgettable gig with them before being replaced by someone with a modicum of talent that was also a Dire Straits fan,,,

Sometimes things go in a different direction than we thought. I hope, though, you still can keep some nice memories about that time.
