The Burden of Silence

He added,
It ruined my mental health, my appetite, sleeping habits, etc. Writing music, recording, and performing has been an escape tool but only to an extent. Being the introvert that I am, I find myself in an enclosed space drowning deep in my thoughts and I tend to be a man of sober habits (I don’t drink neither do I smoke or take any substance) I find myself not being able to open up to anyone fear of being judged as a weak person or just being ignored. Depression is real and it’s eating me up from the inside.
