Angel... I can't think of a better way to carry you through the changes you currently face than to explore your interest in music. Music is not just about making noise or sounds... it is working with resonance and frequencies which is the way all of existence presents itself. Not to get too abstract here but just saying that when it comes to music, there is more than meets the ear.
Barry talked about the harmonica. What an amazing instrument! I use it extensively in the music I produce. It is far more than adequate to fulfill the urge or need to produce sounds that make me feel good. And it is soooooo portable. Of course the idea of portability is relevant, ie guitars vs. pianos, but guitars are very friendly that way too.
As far as lessons go, it's pretty hard to beat youtube. There is PLENTY of help there for beginner guitar and harp... and well, I ran across a guy who is a bit of a harmonica guru with a vast number of lessons for the taking just because he cares... nothing else. What a cool and talented dude.
Just want you to know I admire and respect your interest in playing an instrument. Good for you man.... enjoy the ride!!!
