First songs I think of: Wonderwall and Wish you were here.. what do you think of when you see this chord?

After 10 days of rest I am feeling better and ready to jump back into Jooba Guitar 🥳. A massive thanks to all the kind email replies and comments inside the Jooba guitar community. 💙 I really appreciate you guys and this is turning to out to be a very cool online space. ---- Here's a couple of things I did to get out of my hole. I will only list the things I did that helped, not the unhealthy stuff like isolating. 😎 1. Start the day well Started swimming at sunrise in the ocean with other people. A friend gave me some advice to spend the first 30min or so of the day watching the sunrise. This led me to discover a group of awesome people who jump of the pier and swim every morning. I joined them. 2. Read some good books. I have been listening again to the book “Stumbling toward wholeness” by Andrew J. Bauman This book was recommended during a hard time I went through a few years back and I keep coming back to it. Really intense, but really good. 3. Phone a friend I shared openly where I was with a few people I trust. We all know this is essential but it's really difficult while in the midst of the situation. Made a massive difference 4. Cancel a bunch of stuff I wouldn't normally recommend this but in my case I think it helped. 5. Saw a psychiatrist This didn't help for the reason you would think. But in short, hearing someone say I had to be booked into a mental hospital for 2 weeks and be put on permanent meds really gave me the drive to get over it in a healthier way. :) I'm just rebellious with certain things. Sometimes I believe pills can help, but for me I knew this was not the way to go. 6. Made good plans I made some non-adhd plans for the future. 😂 Sometimes people like me create big plans and dreams because we are really discontent and depressed with the way things are. Instead of dealing with the stuff, we create these ambitious dreams.. like buying a $1.5 mil house and converting it into a music school.. Which I still think is a good idea but not something to focus on now..

I just switched from Elixirs to John Pearse phosphor bronze on my Martin and love the sound but find them very squeaky. Might have to go back to coated strings. Would love to know what everyone else is using.
