Playing the guitar soothes me

Whenever I'm feeling down, I can pick up my guitar and play a bit and I always feel better afterwards. Is this normal? Does playing an instrument help other people brighten up their day too?

    I also play the guitar for relaxation purposes. an hour of practice feels like 15 minutes. I learnt the piano to a beginner level because my parents wanted me to, but I never really enjoyed it like I do the guitar. Will be taking grade 4 classical soon. I started teaching myself about a year ago.

    One time, I was angry that somebody stole my heart medication. I passed out onto a conveniently-placed piano with the strings exposed, which allowed me to spring back up alive. Funny story, it turns out that I died the day after! haha!

    I can relate dude. I once played after a fight with the missus. I was so angry I ended up smashing the guitar to pieces. I fucking loved that guitar man.

      I play with my pink obo when I'm down, it's great at the time, but afterwards I'm just left with an enormas feeling of self loathing.
