Today I react to Fire Away by Chris Stapleton from the Traveller album. This was a tough one but a much needed release. What a beautiful and tragic story about a loving couple rocked by depression and mental health struggles.

Having a bad few days always helps to see your videos, (though i couldn't finish this one). Please don't stop.
Check IG messages hun.
Hey can you please react to Mesus video, 'Freepression' (suicide prevention)?! 6 minutes of absolute poetry, but the way he describes depression is like nothing you have ever heard. (and see of you can get the double meaning of the hat he's wearing in the video)! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE at least listen to the song!!!
@@harliiquinnstarlight Did I miss one?
@@MentalAmanda no I don't think k so. I think you saw my messages before you saw this comment
Chris had a big argument with his label. He doesn't do music videos. He agreed on the condition that he write the song, that he doesn't appear in it singing, and that he has a say in the production. The result was Fire Away. He does make a cameo appearance, he is the bar tender. You need a break so watch Tennessee Whisky from Austin City Limits where he is onstage with his wife, Morgane. They have been married for 15 or so years and I think they have 4 kids. Its wonderful to watch them interact on stage.
saw chris stapleton live in nj last week after having been waiting forever to see him. the way he and his wife interact on stage and the intro he gave her is like definition of reationship goals. if you look up pnc bank chris stapleton 2021 you can see someone uploaded the whole performance. him live is beyond any of his recorded songs
Wow, that’s amazing! He did a great job and has a great vision.
He is the bartender
5 kids!
Chris never said it was an argument. He said they kept asking him to do a video for this song, eventually he told them his idea and after a bit they agreed.
I'm sleep-deprived so I hope this comes out as intended: it hurts to see you cry but I'm glad that you can.
I understand this. My meds make me not be able to cry but that's all I've wanted to do for months.
Is it weird that I watch her videos to make myself cry? I love to feel pain.
This hits me so hard bc my husband of 14 years has stuck by me through 6 visits in inpatient mental health facilities. He has the patience of a saint and I definitely do not deserve him after all I’ve put him through while trying to put myself back together every time I fell apart.
You very much are deserving of love 💗
its been 2 months and I hope you and your husband are doing well Rachel. If not, keep on fighting, and it will getter better.
True love is unconditional. I married my wife with TOTAL disclosure as to her attempted suicide. This song says exactly what I feel for my wife. I will be here for her until my life is over! PEACE!!!!!
Same, brother...same.
That's beautiful! ❤...
I hope you'll check out some more Chris Stapleton. Not all his songs are this emotionally heavy, but he creates beautiful country music that, like you said, doesn't conform to the radio formula.
This song does a great job of capturing the pain. I’ve had quite of bit of trauma in my life. From a messed up childhood to experiencing the absolute worst of humanity in combat. It’s gets to a point where every day becomes a struggle and you ask yourself, why do I keep doing this? Last November I convinced myself there was no good reason to go on so I attempted to take my own life. Needless to say, but I was unsuccessful. I spent 3 months inpatient and another 3months in an intensive outpatient program… life is still a struggle but I have tools now to help myself get through the hard times, one of those is my puppy😊
Amanda, Been there, tried that, did not succeed - Thank God! I was eighteen years old when this happened; I'm 65 now and still plugging away. Bless you for this reaction and for your openness. Alive in CT.
So happy you're still here!
Survivor of 21 yrs now ,I died twice on the operating table, I struggle, and I want anyone who is struggling to phone a friend ,talk,you are needed and you are not alone ,don't give up ,I love you ❤
I struggle with the darkness every day. Watched some others react to this video who obviously had no clue. Somehow its comforting to know others feel the same.
Same here I understand it's awful god bless
After seeing this video for the first time and because of wonderful people like you I signed up to be a volunteer crisis counselor at the National Crisis Textline. In training now much of which is dealing with potential suicide or abuse. I've been there before with nobody to reach out to and I can't sit by and let someone else suffer alone. Bless you and your efforts
Thank you so much for doing your part! I was a crisis counselor for The Trevor Project for a while. Just know that you are doing your work with love and compassion, always speak from that place and know that it isn't your fault if you can't help them all. My background on my computer since a tragedy last weekend is Jigsaw with the quote "You can't help them. They have to help themselves." We can offer support but people have to do the work themselves. You're going to make a big difference!
I've heard the song many times but never watched the video. It was tough, I didn't realize how this would affect me when I watched it with you. Let alone just watching you react to it yourself and what you had to say, that made my day that much sweeter.
i lost almost everyone i love because of depression. i lost my wife of 16 years any way it hurts like nothing i can explain. I just wanted to thank you for what you do! it really helps to no your not alone!!! i hope one day i can tell my story and help people like you are doing!
Youre not alone either mate. I am sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss. Grief is the hardest thing we face. Whatever you're feeling is normal, so just get it all out. I kept a memory journal of my parents after they passed where I just wrote down every memory I could think of. And I'm big on finding ways to share their love with the world. You tell your story whenever you're ready. We'll be here!
Oh, Amanda! This must have been so hard for you, but your inner strength helped you get through it, just as you help so many others find their inner strength. Bless you for all you do, from another Missourian.
👍 from a proud, lifelong Missourian.
Man this song hits very close to home for my husband and I. I fought for him the whole way and luckily enough, because I was there for him as a rock, he was able to find the help and has over come his Manic Suicidal Depression and attempted suicide, he is still here with me and our kids.
So glad you were also able to over come this!
Chris Stapleton is a good ole Kentucky boy (like me, lol) that has written #1 songs for people like George Strait and Kenny Chesney. He also has several hits that he wrote and sings himself. He is definitely the top notch of country music.
I am so VERY happy to see your strength in this reaction, I have never had the mental health issues that many have, but I was in a relationship with a woman with Bi-Polar. I cry at this video also, but love that it shows both sides of what it's like to deal with mental illness.
Unfortunately some people do lose that fight, doesn’t matter how hard they try, and it doesn’t matter how hard you try to help. I have PTSD and struggled for awhile, but my wife dragged me out of that dark place. I can’t blame myself for the past and things that were never really in my control.
Always thankful for her. Get help if you’re even thinking that stuff. Nobody is a mountain.
I'm very late to the game. Thank you Amanda! Your honest heartfelt reactions to music and your personal feelings behind the lyrics touched me deeply. As a music fan none of the songs I've watched your reaction to are new to me, however the emotion and honesty in your reaction is impactful and meaningful. Music is truely the language of the soul.
God love you. I am a psychologist and work with many people who are struggling with suicide. Your reactions mean a lot.
I am bipolar and other than the suicide this song is so true and my husband let's me fire away. We can survive❤💛💜💙💚
I know I’m very late to this video. But thanks for doing this, I really appreciate it.
OMG Amanda. Thank you for your openness and vulnerability. Welcome to the real side of country music. I still remember the day many, many years ago when I almost jumped off my own bridge, literally. Most people in my life still do not about my story, but somehow your channel here brought me to see your story. We'll never meet, but you've got a friend in Georgia. Thank you for sharing your reaction and your story. I am just now getting to know about you thru your reactions. Stay blessed.
Chris Stapleton is an amazing artist !! I love his voice and music. As for this video, we often lose sight due to our tunnel vision and wanting to end OUR pain that we forget about the pain we’re about to cast on our family and friends when it’s all done. People often say “suicide is a selfish act” and that may be very true but for those of us that contemplate doing it and those that have tried and those that have gone through with it, it’s all about ending the pain we feel at the moment or the pain that we can no longer suppress. No matter the outcome. I like to use this example. Imagine yourself being overweight and so out of shape but you try to climb a mountain. Your body and muscles are fatigued. Your lungs burn. You are physically exhausted. Now think about all of those symptoms but instead of them being physical they’re now attached to just your brain and thoughts. That amount of mental exhaustion is more overwhelming than the physical exhaustion IMO. That’s where I’m at a good portion of my days and hours. You stay safe and strong Amanda !! I enjoyed your reaction. 🌻
That is a great analogy! I think the problem is that we're SO desperate to "lose the weight" that we go for this big tall mountain instead of starting with a brisk walk around the block. We don't heal overnight. It's one change and one decision at a time. Suicide isn't selfish at all because our brain has distorted and we believe it's what is BEST for those we love. Which, of course, it never is!
me too in 1998. I did drown in my bath tub but was revived and I have been a ghost ever since. I am not sure if i have had more attempts or admissions to institutions. There's more wrong than right but I am still here not always sure why. I take enough meds to knock a horse over and stability is always just out side of my reach. I am now a subscriber to you cause we have things in common. She was like me bipolar II. I can see it in the portrait of her instability and mood shifting. It takes one to know one. It is sad when you feel safer in a institution than in the real world. 2 weeks ago it was my 21rst visits in 22 years of pain. But I have a son that loves me greatly and knows when my clock is not ticking on time. I have watched reactions to this video for about 7 hours now and I just can't stop. I know I should. even though i cry every time, the reactions show me how much people can really care. I lost another son 22 years ago and the vacuum of suicide started there. Not sure why I am sharing this that is just how i am at times.
Losing a child is a special kind of hell. I'm so sorry. Of course your emotions spiraled! It's not a natural process for a parent to lose a child and I don't think we are entirely biologically equipped for it. Stability was always out of reach for me too, but I did manage to grab it and hold on. I have hard days too, but I got through decades of severe depression and am now on no meds. Nothing's impossible!
I just want to say first and foremost I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Secondly I'd like to thank you for your story and comments. You've made me feel not so alone. For that I am truly thankful. I have bipolar disorder amongst so many other things so I understand where your coming from in alot of what you said. Lol I've also been watching react videos to this song for way to long now, how long I couldn't even say to be honest. They make me feel better in a way though, and help me appreciate things like my partner way more too. Sorry it's 4 am and I'm rambling a bit. Mostly I just wanted to say you are strong, you can do this, and thank you for being brave enough to share.
I've never heard of him until a friend showed me a cover of "nothing else matters" that was recently released. Now I'm discovering so many great songs of his including this one.
Love given, I understand. Been in the trenches on both sides. Stay strong, stay alive. We all have something to give. ALL MY LOVE AND SUPPORT!!!
I love the song and one day was in that dark place with my disabled son. There are still times today that my mind goes back to that dark place thinking about the future and it probably always will knowing his future is what it is going to be. Watching your reaction just broke my heart, god bless you
Hello Amanda! For someone like myself who has lived with depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia basically all my life; and have had my own run in with a suicide attempt at 13, I deeply appreciate you and your courage in talking about your own battle with depression and attempt. If I had the chance to I would tell Chris how much it meant to me that he came up with the concept for the video and how important it was to properly give mental illness a realistic face. All my love 💙💙
Don’t cry sweetheart you are still here be proud of that and we are all glad that you are
one of my favorite lyrics from another song is
"i saw a flower as it was withering, i was embarrassed by its honesty"
As someone who struggles with it everyday, the struggle is real however I've found telling myself not today maybe tomorrow continues to carry me on.
One day at a time for all of us! Keep on keeping on!
This is a DEEP song we stay strong with each other this song is an anthem for love for us
LOVE
Tomorrow I'll be 61 and I've lived with PTSD complicated by disthymia disorder since I was 6. Severe trauma in a foster home. The details don't need repeating.
The anxiety hits me in all the cliche moments you'd expect. But then it wakes me up for no reason without provocation. For anyone else who shares this, give a listen to Jason Isbell's "Anxiety". It's surreal to hear someone describe EXACTLY what an attack feels like.
"A crowded room is a burning battlefield...
...do I walk now or do I wait and run"
At 61, this is my life. It will never get better and after getting off all the meds after 25 years, I learned I'm strong enough to handle it. So are you.
Even if our disorders remain, our life can still hold joy. Thank you for this!
Brave of you. This one is extremely rough. Love Stapleton though. Dude is unbelievable.
I’m just seeing this. Needed it. Thank you for revisiting those feelings with us. It takes a village.
I deal with depression every day,I know you're not a fraud I love ya and please keep doing this,it may seem weird to people but it helps me,and I'm sure it helps others too
Funny how we all started off bubbly and happy till we actually payed attention to the video and it lands right on your heart😭. Great video as always 🙏🏻!!!
Sometimes things in life happen for a purpose. You might not understand it at the time. Even looking back, it might seem like nonsense?
It might make you angry. It might make you want to give up? It might make you want to fight back?
But here you are. Helping people. Ya know? It all works out, if you let it.
We need MO Amanda. Thank you for all that you do. You were put here for a purpose...
My wife, my Tiny dancer (she was a ballet dancer), suffered from severe depression with suicidal ideation. We struggled and fought like hell for ten years. She would be loving and happy one moment, angry and hateful the next. We finally found a good doctor who could treat her condition with the proper therapy and meds. 28 years later she is happy and healthy, strong and confident, loving and loved. My life would be nothing without her. There is hope, there is treatment. Don't give up. If you live with someone with mental health problems don't give up on them. Love them and help them to find the help they need. Fight like hell and never quit loving them.
Life is full of mistakes and lessons to learn, they are temporary and not meant to be a life sentence. Go into that battle knowing you will take hits and low blows but, the highs and pure joy is worth your best. If not your best then and if not prepared to loose, don't go. Individually the paper folds in your mind are weak. Weave them together, all the different pieces that make you, you and you are as strong. Having a little support goes a long way.
Thank you for sharing that one little part of you, Amanda.
That is what I want this community to be. If we support each other, our paper fold together can be stronger.
I feel you. Truly. Amen your here to enjoy this and react for us to share in your, and our own, experience. Love You ❤
I knew this video would get to you. Check out Chris Stapleton at the Bing Lounge doing Sometimes I cry.He sings his butt off.
When it's good you hear it , when its great you feel it ! I'm so glad you are here to feel it !
I’m so glad you’re not with someone who doesn’t know how to support you. I know how that feels for sure. Such a beautiful sad song. 😥
Miss Amanda, you remind me at every turn to try and help those who need it. I feel like you're a kindred spirit in that way. I've been pretty well for well over a decade, but can still vividly remember those times when I was a lost soul. It puts me humbly in my place when I see someone struggling. Keep up the fight baby girl. What you are doing for others is very noble in nature.
8yrs ago I sat by a pool with no one home. I began to imagine going in and leaving. Just then a stray dog busted into my backyard and wouldn’t stop licked me I fed and watered him. After he got on top of me in the lawn chair
he wouldn’t leave. God is real.
A guardian dog! I love it!
Relatable. I have bipolar 1. Many suicide attempts. It is never anyones “fault”, once I have the plan in my head, reaching out won’t work. I have the best support system that have been there through it all, diagnosed at 17, I’m 55 now! The suicide ideation never goes away for me! The attempts are not attention seeking or a cry for help! Mine were definitely wanting to die. To anyone taking care of someone like me, or are dealing with losing their loved one to suicide! Please know that you did everything right, but our brains are exhausted from fighting and there is NOTHING you could’ve done to stop it. We are very good at hiding & saying what you want to hear. This may not be the case for others who suffer with bipolar, but when I’m off my meds that is my story. Xx
So glad I found your channel. I struggle with various issues, but I feel very blessed that I have a community with whom I feel safe opening up. Keep up the good work and the communications!
This. Hits. Hard. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your truth. So many people are happy you’re here❤
I want to give you a hug so much. I hope you are feeling and doing better with your struggles. Thank you for opening up and sharing. It helps so many including yourself. Stay strong and keep loving yourself and others. 💪🫶
As a Missourian, I wanna thank you for what you’re doing. I’m also a suicide survivor and am also genetically predisposed to HUGE overwhelming depression. This song is sometimes hard for people to understand until the end.
Just when i thought i would finally manage to get through the video without crying nope still cried. I have bipolar depression n this is a very accurate view of how it feels like for both sides. The way u explained as u called it the split is exactly how i can be.
Let it out!
Thank you for being you! You are very Brave! The struggle is real
Great reaction and advice for people struggling with mental illness (like myself). We need more people out there like you.
The man is from Kentucky and you want to hear a deep hearted song is listen to his song "Tennesse Whiskey" . His wife sings with him also.
I'm sending you the biggest hug after this video. It's so heartfelt to see someone sharing their experiences and feeling their emotions. I hope this message finds you doing well. Always remember that you are priceless, wonderful and worthy of unconditional love!
You are in my Prayers from this moment on!!! GOD bless you, Amanda!!!
This is the most authentic reaction to this song I've seen on yt, I too am a suicide survivor a good few years ago, I was dead for a few minutes as a result, thanx for sharing your story, much love from UK ❤️
Glad you are still here!
Amanda, I just wanted to chime in and say thank you for this. I have struggled with mental illness since I was a kid and always felt that the things that happened to me were my fault. I was always too scared to put my feelings out in public because I didn't want people thinking I was asking for pity or that I was feeling sorry for myself.
They were NOT your fault and I hope you realize now how worthy of love you are!
Oh my!! Darlin you got it!!! I am so impressed by you. Please know you are not alone and I hope you are still in your good space! May whatever God you serve bless you. BTW proceeds from this song go toward mental health relief. I’m a fan and will be watching you move forward!!
You’re a champion! You get better day by day! Blessings your way
Just stumbled upon this video after it was recommended to me after I binged a lot of chris’ videos! You have a beautiful soul and smile. Thank you for fighting through your battle and now helping people who are struggling. Gods work!
The actual first reactor to get it from go. I'm so thankful.
I feel so bad for you. You have been through so much yet care so much about others. You deserve lot of credit for your strength.
As do you!
I don't know you but I just want to say that you're worth it. Worth every breath you take. I am also a survivor. Someone I never met told me when I was down that me breathing is worth every breath. I just wanted to pass that along. You are loved... Just always try to keep a smile. You are loved!!!
Amanda what a very special gift you have to share with others about your personal experiances. Iam so privaliged to have heard and seen you that it is beyond words. Love you so much.
Chris Stapleton has been around for a while. He was doing bluegrass with a band called The Steeldrivers! When they split Chris went solo and dropped some hits!
Thank you for doing this Amanda. This is a powerful video and it reminds me how important it is to keep doing everything I can to not fall to my struggle. I am struggling but I want to keep on fighting. Everything you say I can relate to both for myself and my last relationship I was in with a woman who also struggles with mental health issue. I struggle with PTSD, depression, panic disorder and insomnia. Sometimes just getting through the day feels like too much. I'm afraid to post this comment because it's so personal, but I don't want to be ashamed anymore of having a condition I didn't ask for and am not to blame for. Anyway, you said to comment and to reach out and I'm not able to reach out to the few friends I still have so I'm reaching out here.
Welcome! There are many here who struggle with those conditions. You aren't alone and I'm proud of you for opening up! If you need to talk further, my email is in my video descriptions.
Amanda your amazing, im still suffering and it still feels like im drowning everyday but I'm keeping up with my meds. This song hurts as its a reminder of what I deal with and everyone else that's having a hard time. Thank you for doing what you do and looking out for everyone's mental health on your channel.
Remember, meds can be a great tool, but you still have a lot of power yourself too! There's other skills and habits you can implement that can move you in the right direction!
@@MentalAmanda I've been also doing a lot of meditation. It really does help when I have a quiet room but then I remember what the med's are for when I need the voices to stop. It's funny but it's also not as this is my life nowadays. 😞
Absolutely beautiful young lady !! Very proud of you! God bless!
God bless you. When you're down it is very hard to think about how many of your friends and family love you. Tried to keep it in your heart of their love at your lowest moment.
Beautiful soulful spiritual reflection. You are an advocate just my telling your story without the diagnosis, judgement, impression but just being in your presence but telling your story of vulnerability and strength. Much love.
You are a courageous young woman and I wish you well in your journey!
Hope all is well with you, Amanda! Keep fighting the good fight! Great take on a very important topic and and awesome video and song!
I have watched your reaction to this multiple times and every time it gets to the bathtub scene my heart breaks for you. Thank you for opening up to us. You are truly loved immensely. We have your back. Love you.
My best friend in the world is locked in a battle with her mental health. She has been stuck in manic mode for over two years which has led her back into meth. In the last 6 months she had become homeless and now has several felony charges pending as well. She is a beautiful person in every way and it is tragic to watch what she has become. She has three beautiful children who lives are being destroyed as well as she vetures in and out of their lives, creating chaos on everything and everyone around here. Her name is Brenda and I am asking for you to help pray to whomever you choose to pray for.
If Brenda is open to talking, I'd be happy to help her (or you) in getting resources together. I've lost friends to meth too and watched it ruin families. It is awful.
@@MentalAmanda Thank you for even offering. Shows what a kind person you truly are. Problem right now is that she has burned through almost ever resource available to her. At this point, we are working with the courts, as she has several felony charges against her. We are praying that her sentence is in a long term care facility where she can first dry out and then treat the underlying mental illness. Because of her numerous 3 day holds, the courts seem to be seriously considering the treatment option.
@@goincoastal28 Keep me updated and I will keep her and you in my heart. Let me know if I can help in any way.
Well dear heart, I was a enabler at one time to an alcoholic during a 10 yr marriage. I thought I had the strength to withstand to damage she caused me and my family. Arguing , property damage, emotional damage, hospital stays from her self inflicted injuries. The one day she slapped our child, I told her to leave or get mental health care and detox. She went to the alcohol detox treatment and counseling, she came home twice as fubarred. But the 2nd round included cheating, staying out etc that goes with whoring. So I changed the locks on the door, sold the house, divorced, Took the child’s moved and have never seen her since then. Children are grown now with their own families and I roam the earth happy.
I am bipolar and the depression can be crippling. We as a society need to normalize mental health conditions the same as we do any illness and remove the stigma so more people will be willing to admit they need help and seek that help. Bless you for sharing your story.
My respect for you just discovered you a couple hours ago watching reaction videos. Thank you so much for being open honest and transparent about how the struggle is real for some people
Oh sweetie your a beautiful young lady. I’m old enough to be your grandma. So believe me I know about depression and loneliness. All I can say both make you do crazy things. Always know that you are loved and tomorrow is another day. Country music can either make you happy or depress you. Songs are just feelings put to music. 💕
Hi Amanda, first off this is the very first video of yours that I have ever watched. I must say, even though I do not know you yet and this is my introduction to your channel, I am very impressed and proud of you and for you for being able to tell your story and for shining your beaming light on mental awareness. You are obviously doing great things and your word is reaching. This song in itself always makes me tear up as well, and I’m a big guy. I’m not suppose to cry. At least that’s what I’ve been taught. But this song and video just gets to me. You see, I have been in this guys shoes. Even though it has been many many years since that relationship and everything that happened, it still weighs heavy and always finds a way of reminding me of the struggles we shared and the situations we went through. I would like to tell you everything will be alright and it will get better… and in a certain way it does, but the memories will always remain. Stay strong and keep using your voice, because I honestly believe talking about it helps out more than anyone can even possibly imagine. Much love.
PS- Tennessee Whiskey by Stapleton live at the Austin City Limits is a must.
Everyone cries! Big, little, black white, gay, straight, poor, rich. NEVER tell yourself that you shouldn't feel normal human emotions! You are amazing 💗
I’ve known some people who had suffered from BPD. They either had a genuine diagnosis, were able to declare as much, or also both. But what I didn’t encounter was enough self-awareness such as you displayed. From my perspective they might have disclosed their diagnosis but could/would not recognize the behaviors that could be tied to it. So I have to give you much respect for possessing full-fledged awareness of your own condition and having a comprehensive grasp of it, despite its very difficult nature.
Amanda Amanda again thank you so much and keep up the good work one life saved is something to cherish. If we all stick together we can't stop mental health but we can help and reaching out just to maybe one person even a strange you may see on the street looks like they're having a bad day can make a difference. Ty ty again 💕💕💕
There are some things or events that burn into your brain for life. I've watched easily 1000 reaction videos. Yours is burned into my soul for life. God bless you. Mark
I didn't know people like you still existed on the planet. You truly exemplify Shakespeare line... A rose by any other name is still a rose. So for me I would be pleased if you always remember that timeless truth. No matter what anyone says. You are a star thrower. A Pearl of Great Price. Peace and many Blessings.
Absolutely my favorite reaction to this song...I'm actually with someone who is going through some stuff and your emotion is genuine and real and I can relate....and I am definitely showing her your reaction to this song
i have never heard this song but good on him that he is her guardian angel being under the water is beyond what any of us deserve i am sorry that you were literally under the water and there wasnt anyone there to say you matter you are needed and that checking out not an option even though somedays and nights, it seems like the only one. ty for being here i wish you all the best
Girl you are sooo strong! I am proud of you!
Not a fan of country but damn.. this song/video broke me hard...
That was intense!
This song rips my heart out every time. I lived this mans life. My daughters father took himself from us almost 5 years ago. I spent almost 15 years saving him over and over and just a couple years of my being in a different state... well... I wasn't able to save him. He left behind 2 children. One girl and one boy, they were six at the time and they loved them with all they had. It is so hard to lose someone you held together for so long.
He fought for as long as he could and, beneath what the shadow of his depression symptoms was screaming at him, he knew you cared. I hope you and his children find peace and healing and a way to share his love with the world.
As someone who has tried to leave this earth 12x, I was crying with you during this. Thank God I'm in the light now and the darkness can't touch me, but these things still hit home when you see them. I love you, stay strong sister.
So glad you are still here!
@@MentalAmanda All praise goes to Jesus, without him I would have lost that battle.
This song really tears my heart out as my wife of 34 yrs took her own life on July 18 2018 and I still have not completely healed ,it's so hard to go from having someone there and you wake up one morning and they are gone, I LOVE THE SONG BUT IT REALLY HITS HOME WITH ME
I'm sorry that your wife lost her battle. Healing is a LONG process. Be patient with yourself and find ways to share her love with the world. I also started a memory journal after my mom passed and that helped me keep her alive in my heart.
Such a powerful song. Such a powerful video.
This is the song I go back to over and over. It's a calm and a rage I get from it. It will be the song when it happens
I hope you are ok.
This reaction is my favorite of yours! Thank you!
I dealt with m ex wife (mother of my sons) fo 17 yrs. I finally couldn't take it any longer. My sons an I haven't dealt with her on a regular basis in 6 yrs. At one point we went 3 yrs without any contact. I finally made a stand that our lives were more important than keeping her around .
The best analogy i have heard about mental illness that helped me understand why suicide is not a selfish act is this. Imagine that one day you wake up and you have the flu. You've got the aches, the nausea, the runny nose, the cough everything. You think "alright i just have to wait it out and let my body handle it and it'll go away." Now imagine that it doesn't go away that the symptoms persist at the same severe level for days that turn into weeks, that turn into months and it still doesn't get better. Its easy to see how that would get you to a point where you would be willing to do anything just to make the pain go away. You also begin to feel guilty because someone has to take care of you while you have this flu. Maybe its a parent, a sibling, a close friend, or a spouse. They have to make all these sacrifices just to give you their time and you're not getting better. you start feeling like a burden because of it. All that pain and guilt can just turn into this poisonous cocktail that convinces you that death is the only way to stop that pain and free the people around you from having to give up so much to help you. That's what mental illness is. Its a chronic debilitating painful disease. When you look at it from that angle its easy to see that a person suffering like this and wanting to kill themselves isn't being inconsiderate of the loved ones around them, they are just so blinded by their pain that they truly believe ending their existence and pain will make their loved ones lives easier.
This is scary because I made a video that is scheduled to post that uses this analogy!
Mental illness doesn't discriminate. Fire Away really hit home with me. The first time I seen the official video for the song was over a year ago and I've never talked about it until here recently. I was in a toxic relationship with a malignant narcissist for 7 years. He controlled me in every way and I lost everything because of it. My kids. My family because I was kept from my mother's funeral. I didn't have anything to live for.
Texted the suicide hotline and decided to not be truthful because I didn't want anyone sent to my house to stop me. I had everything planned. How I was going to end my life. Had a specific time. Specific place. Had to make sure when I was found, I couldn't be saved. Had written letters to my son, my daughter, my father, and my ex husband. I've always believed that everything happens for a reason. My son is the only reason I'm still here. He was in high school at the time and texted me that day out of the blue just to say hi and I love you. It's almost as if he knew...
His soul was reaching out to yours 💖 So happy you are still here and I hope you're finding the healing you deserve. I've been through narc abuse too. It's comparable only to the seventh layer of Hell.
Standing with something is called PERSEVERANCE. Standing against something is called COURAGE. Walk tall, stay hard, and most of all keep stepping. I believe the only thing we take with us when we leave this world is only what is contained in our heart. I believe you have a spacious heart. Keep feeling it up with what really matters. All that you leave behind will fade and turn to dust. Peace and Many Blessings.
