    This was ABSOLUTELY ME on February 20, 2023. It’s coming up on a year since I sat in that parking lot and, through uncontrollable tears, said out loud to myself, “I am SO SORRY, MOM! I just cannot do this for ONE MORE DAY!” and as I reached for my gun from the passenger’s seat, God was with me…I had left it at home. Through an adjustment to medication, I was myself again six hours later and have been well since. I found this song and it has helped me a LOT! Mental illness is a DISEASE, not a disgrace! I am so thankful I had a family who saw something was wrong and encouraged (no…begged and FORCED) me to call my doctor. Thank you, Shinedown, for making sure awareness never falls into the background! ❤️

    • @athelwulfgalland
      @athelwulfgalland Před 4 měsíci +21

      I'm grateful that you lived on to post this message in 2024. Many others were not so fortunate. It's been a lot longer for me, since the day I almost did the unthinkable, it will have been 30 years in June of next year. My family was not "there for me." I was 17 & I just wanted to get away from the pain in my chest I'd felt for weeks since the woman I loved most in this world abandoned me without a word or leaving any sort of explanation why.
      I don't know now what really stopped me. For many years I believed that it was genuinely divine intervention but another part of me suggests that it was a psychological break from reality, born from the instinct to survive, that made me pull the scalpel out & throw it across the room before I did anything irreversible. Whichever one it was I distinctly heard a woman's voice utter the words, "What if she finds out?" I didn't recognize the voice & yet it felt like I knew this voice carried power as well as authority. I knew right away what it meant. What would my ex do if she found out I'd taken my life because of her disappearance? In that same moment I KNEW that despite my family not "being there for me," they knew I was suffering & would go to the ends of the Earth or even beyond, to make certain my ex bore the full weight of that knowledge.
      No matter how badly I hurt, no matter how I couldn't take a full deep breath, no matter how difficult it was to sleep & no matter how hard it was to just continue to exist another day; I never wanted to hurt my ex. My love for her was just THAT great & even if I never saw her or spoke with her again I wished for her all the best in life. I decided there & then that I would live if only to spare her the pain that I so thoughtlessly almost heaped upon her.
      I lost any recollection of the subsequent 2 months & many of my earlier memories with her were warped, twisted or had pieces missing here or there. After I became cognizant again the world was somehow very different. I was the same person but at the same time I wasn't. I had most of his memories but the person inside was very, very, different. I've recovered most of the memories that were lost & most of the rest have gotten straightened out. I'm sure there are still pieces missing but they aren't so important anymore.
      It's all in the past & I now have something far more important. A wife that has loved me for 28 years, two amazing children, well ... they're both adults now, but they'll always be our children. Furthermore I'm comfortable in my own skin now without needing someone else to make me whole. Perhaps that's the most important thing I've gained.

      I can't even say best friend because the person my tribe lost last year on February 25, 2023 was so much more then that to us all. He was more than a father, more than a husband, more than a friend or a brother. He was a part of our souls..the literally bridge between two groups of people coming together in an unimaginable way. Not a single day has been the same since, his life and his death has bonded us in a magical fucking way and it is so fucked that he isn't here. His gun unfortunately was with him.
      It doesn't feel like nearly a year...but here we are.
      I am so happy you are still here, even if you don't know me.

If I didn't get married 2 1/2 years ago and have my daugter 19 months ago, I don't think I'd be here anymore. Because without them? I wouldn't of cared to try and get help. But they need me. And your mom and the rest of your family needs you. Love ya fam. Keep your head up. Thank you for sharing.

    So this hits home for me. I am a combat wounded special operations veteran. My wife was having an affair with a 22 year old while I was fighting in Iraq in 2006/2007. I was blown up in a road side bomb that almost took my life. While I was recovering from my wounds alone, this was my nightmare and my reality. I often wondered had I been killed that day would she have been that cold accepting my flag. The icy answer to my own question is yes as I caught her in bed with him once I returned home from my rehabilitation. I wanted to kill them both. My self control took over and luckily I saved myself. I was staring down the barrel of my own 45 for years after that. My monsters are real, I did get trapped and my wounds will never heal. Thank you #ShineDown I've listened to this song and played this video countless times. It helps me visualize my own dark experience and allows that anger to escape by watching this video. You couldn't have captured the Deamons I live with and I know countless other veterans live with or take their life any better. 🇺🇸 #22aday #Veterans #OIF

    I've loved this angelic voice since the first time years ago in KC. But even more as the years go I love the person he has become. Yesterday I found out I'm gonna be fighting a monster that never had a clue was lurking. I will not lay down and give into it! I'm a fighter and a survivor. This beautiful soul and all of shinedown will be going on this journey with me because their music is my musical anthem! Thank you Shinedown for being you and much love always!

      I struggle with a demonic presence in my life. There is no pill that helps the voices. I don't believe they are imaginary or a sickness . It's a spiritual malady. My only weapon is the Lord Jesus Christ and so I place my trust in Him ...."BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD"yes my monsters are real. Yes they are trained how to kill. And yes they just laugh at how I feel. but remember"I HAVE GIVEN YOU POWER TO TREAD ON SNAKES AND SCORPIONS AND TO OVERCOME ALL THE DEVILS MAGIC.

      The commander telling those Marines to go in close street quarters and corral a bunch of desperate civilians in a street setting should have been the one leading the way and jumping over the bomb to save his marines because he obviously was making a suicide call.
      What a shame to all the military to just up and leave and throw away all their work.

      I was bullied relentlessly throughout elementary school. The teachers were told, the principalS (plural) were told and did nothing. I was suspended twice for defending myself, when my parents asked why the ones who were making fun of me weren't punished as well, according to that bitch, "there's no proof they did anything wrong" (I honestly believe she was a moron, I was outnumbered by these jerks, so because my story was different from theirs, I must be lying? Really?), and I learned this years later, but she brought my younger sister into her office to ask her if I did this sort of thing at home, she answered sarcastically "what do you think?" and the moron started to write down "yes" to which she said "that's a no" and she erased it and wrote no. She did not have any qualifications to be around elementary school kids. She would be considered one of my worst enemies along with that class of creeps I was stuck in. Also a reason why when someone says "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy," I say, "then they aren't your worst enemy" I'd wish that on mine in an instant. Those punks got away with their shit. I had to learn by moving across the country that not all schools work that way, so there's that. I moved back to my hometown since and I'm almost certain some of them are in prison now. But then again, especially in CA, who knows. The criminals can steal from a store and not get arrested for it so they could very well be doing whatever and not getting punished for it. If I ever recognize them; I'd probably punch them with everything I have. Consequences be damned.

    Lyrics :
    Good for you, you fooled everybody
    Good for you, you fooled everyone
    Good for you, now you're somebody
    Good for you, you fooled everyone
    Leave your weapon on the table
    Wrapped in burlap, barely able
    Don't get angry, don't discourage
    Take a shot of liquid courage
    'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
    And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
    And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
    And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
    Yeah, my monsters are real
    Good for you, you hurt everybody
    Good for you, you hurt everyone
    Good for you, you love nobody
    Good for you, you owe no one
    Leave your weapon on the table
    Wrapped in burlap, barely able
    Call a doctor, say a prayer
    Choose a God you think is fair
    'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
    And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
    And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
    And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
    'Cause my monsters are real
    Leave your weapon on the table
    Wrapped in burlap, barely able
    Don't get angry, don't discourage
    Take a shot of liquid courage
    Leave a light on if you're able
    'Cause we both know you're unstable
    Call a doctor, say a prayer
    Choose a God you think is fair
    'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
    And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
    And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
    And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
    Yeah, my monsters are real

    Within the last few days, I finally said goodbye to my "family" after years of emotional abuse and a few occasions of physical assault from my alcoholic brother. I was always the good son, trying to do everything in my power to help after my father passed away. I finally hit a breaking point and realized just how much this song resonates with my situation. It's ironic, the ones we hold close to us are always the ones who purposely cut the deepest

But I did what I could with her and learned to accept the rest. She passed away in my arms this last August. With a smile on her face from COVID. I feel more whole than ever. Because I accepted the fact that she too was only human! Accept Forgive and move on!! I wish you peace!!
