hello @Appleblossom @Former-Member
I have turned up the music, danced and sobbed my heart out after sensing a feeling of cleansing.
The few times I went to church in the last 40 years I cried the whole way through the sessions.
This stopped me from going back.
I was talking to someone yesterday about how I have thought about going to my local church now for some time. He is a member and offered to go with me. I explained that I would prefer to go on my own and sit at the back go as often as I wanted.
I do not want to be seen as a babbling mess. I dont want people rushing to assist me. This is holding me back from going.

@Kurra I didn't know you were a music teacher. I'm learning the violin. I think my neighbours WISH I had a bit more emotional intelligence to translate the mechanics of playing into something beautiful. I am super looking forward to getting to a stage where I can express my big feelings through my playing more. At the moment I think I'd be described as an "advanced beginner." I super love playing. It definitely makes me feel super calm. What instrument do you play?

That's very cool @Kurra. Did you learn the violin as a child? I have been surprised at how unusual it is to be learning as an adult. I am learning the suzuki method and I've attended a workshop and also the graduation recital at the Sydney Opera House. At the Opera House there were four of us adults playing in a sea of about 300 kids and at the workshop it was just me and one other adult. I was super self conscious, as were the other adults. However, the kids really didn't care and the teachers were all very supportive. I'm hoping to graduate from Suzuki book 3 this year. I think they classify books 1-3 as a "beginner" so once I hit book 4 I will be able to think of myself as an "intermediate" player.
