If you are an artistic person, it is easy to get down on yourself. As a matter of fact, we are some of the most critical people in the world. We are likely harder on ourselves than any other genre of people, but we keep going through it all. Why? Because we love what we do...well...until we don't.
Something they never tell you when you get into the arts is that you have to be as good at business and marketing as you are at your particular craft. You can be the most insanely talented dancer in the world, but if you have no one there to promote you, especially yourself, you will never get anywhere. This is even more true for musicians.
So many new doors have opened up for musicians with YouTube and Dtube and all of these platforms where musicians can be discovered. The downside is that you have to be able to market yourself straight through those doors. If you can't, you will be left behind. This can leave artists feeling worthless, useless and depressed. The thing that was once a passion, slowly leaves you feeling....well, dead inside.
