A very well-told chain of events. The meaningless is cast as such, given no more consideration than it should, and the important items have relevant and substantive focus. You really talk as though you know where you've been, how you got here, and that those things simply happened. Too many people want to blame the past for the present.

Part of what may have given you the happiness in the music was the difference in your life... where you'd just gone through a period of destruction, music is a medium of pure creation. Finally, after tearing down everything that meant anything to you, you had this instrument (pun intended) of creation to rebuild the whole world, as you see it.

I can completely sympathize with the anxiety issues, i've battled them myself for as long as my memory reaches back.

I think the number one thing I would say after reading the unabashedly honest story of your life is this: There are good people in this world, and good things. Make friends with some of those good people, and go after those good things. For you, good might be wealth, it might just be love, or maybe it's being happy with who you are, whatever that might be, and knowign that there really is no "normal" mold. While your situation is certainly not common, it is the uniqueness of the lives of each person that enriches us all.

You seem to have a very solid head on your shoulders, let it lead you to better happiness.
