    after hearing this song and the depth of the lyrics, the next nothing more song you do should be fade in/fade out.....just an unbelievable message....i know cause of you mentioning the lack of a father figure in your life that this song could get to you.....i know it gets to me since my father passed away a few years ago and wish we could have gotten to a better place in our relationship that we were working on. thank you for being you bro and being genuine in your care for others.

    I actually got to meet them after a show and they are some seriously down-to-earth people. Johnny Hawkins has gone through a lot of emotional turmoil in his life. I love them because of the intensity of their lyrics combined with the technicality of their instrument work. "God Went North", "Just Say When" and "Fade In/Fade Out" are some of their best songs. You should honestly just do a full album reaction to their last album "The Stories We Tell Ourselves".

  • @TARDIStraveller96

    Well I guess I'm sharing my story then:
    I was officially diagnosed with severe clinical anxiety and depression around 3 years ago when I was 20. However after multiple therapists the latest few all concluded that they believe this is something I've been dealing with and hiding from others and denying to myself for upwards of 9 years. I'm a gay male and a lot of my issues stem from growing up in an environment that of both toxic masculinity and a dislike of LGBTQ+ people from certain family members. Whilst things have improved with family, I still have major self confidence, self esteem and self worth issues, as well as general issues with anxiety and depression. Due to these problems I've attempted suicide twice, both times in 2016 and both times someone was there to stop me. If they weren't, I doubt I'd be typing this comment now.
    Things are improving somewhat and therapy has been going really well recently, but I still have little self worth and worry about the lack of a future I feel I have. I can't hold down a job because I panic constantly when it comes to interacting with strangers, especially if there's conflict, and unfortunately the current UK job system makes it hard to find jobs that aren't sales based when you've had limited experience in other fields. This always lead to my depression becoming worse because I felt unable to do something as simple as have a job like most people and felt worthless. I felt constantly sorry for my partner of over 5 years who has to support us both, and whilst he says he doesn't mind and knows I'm struggling, I often think he'd be better off without me. But he's the light of my life and without him I feel I wouldn't have a reason to keep living anymore. I'm hoping to try and get back into work when this course of therapy ends, but I'm still scared of the future.
    Thanks for this video Alex. I adore Nothing More and this song is the one that hits me hardest because I honestly relate to Jenny in some way.

    I struggle with high anxiety and went through a very bad weed addiction going through almost half a cart in one hour and panicking along with not showering and being to anxious to do anything if I didn’t have it which also led to use of alcohol and benzos but now sober for about 21 months off my drug of choices now I’m 22 about to be 23. Also have aspergers but thankfully I’m getting the help I need and finally doing well though I don’t know how I survived all the rage and panic attacks. We need to be connected with others there’s no way i can do this myself. I’ve also been taking on exercise yoga and meditation along with getting in a band. I’m extremely thankful for my family and friends and really hope that you guys have the needed support as well. Things really do work themselves out if you do the next right thing. Love your vids Alex and think it’s great that you seem pretty happy. I know your on camera but it seems genuinely hope to get to where you are one day

    Hey, man. For one, I want to say thank you for reacting to this. This song means a lot to me. It helped me get through a really shitty year. I wasn’t dealing with substance abuse, but rather a friend who was going through a lot but refused help.
    I can see the song really got to you. I want to say that I’m happy that your mother fought her addiction with alcohol. It’s an incredibly difficult battle, and I’ve seen too many people not even fight it. And hey man, the support goes both ways. We’re all here for you, man. We got your back. Keep up the great work.

    Manic Depression (Bi Polar)
    Anxiety
    OCD
    ADHD
    And in General Anger issue from all combined
    Frankly I have never met anyone with this many diagnosis and it make me wonder if I went to the proper professional.
    I knew I had issues with my over all happiness and attention but never did I think I was a walking mental illness.
    At the age of 16 I became a father and dropped out of school and at 19 my own father passed away in his sleep.
    I am now about to be 23 with 0 credits in high school and I have spent the last year alone in my room trying to simply be happy. naturally I got into drugs, went as far as meth but I had a good look in the mirror one day and decided meth just wasn't helping anybody. Everyday I am torn between feeling like a failure and knowing I was born with things that hold me back. I fear I will end up in the streets and be another statistic but I am lucky to have a family that loves me and will do anything to prevent that.
    I guess I am sharing for those who feel like no one else really gets it, or maybe to even help others feel better about them selves.
    I would like to end with 4 things that help me in rough times when overwhelmed with an emotion in case it may help others.
    1 Drink a tall glass of cold water as fast as you can
    2 Take an extreme shower, hot or cold.
    3 Take 3 deep breaths. In your nose as deep as you can and out your mouth just as deep.
    4 Which i know can be the hardest: Simply walk away
    Best of luck friends

      That sounds really tough brother. The most frustrating thing about mental health diagnoses, is that they all tend to be co-morbid; meaning that if you suffer from one, you're more likely to suffer from more than one at the same time. It all has to do with your personal and unique brain chemistry, and that's why it takes FOREVER to find the right meds that actually help. It sounds like you've found some healthy coping mechanisms, and good on ya. I'm still working on that part. Keep on keeping on my dude.

    My “Jenny” in my life is my sister Jessi (I actually replace the word Jenny to Jessi when hearing this song) she has had a long history of drug abuse, she was my mother’s medical power of attorney when she was on her death bed, she wnded up prematurely pulling the plug on my moms life so that she could take the life insurance money and use it to feed her habit. My other sister and I didn’t get to say goodbye to my mom. We never got to have a funeral for her because Jessi ran off with her ashes and was on the run from the law until finally getting incarcerated a year ago for drug charges. This song weighs so heavy on my heart because I love my sister through all the pain she has caused my family

    Maybe you should just fall
    Leave the world and lose it all
    This was what he felt toward his sister when she began destroying those around her. "It was really just a challenge to my sister Jenna, because it had gotten so bad that she was literally harming my mom and my dad emotionally, physically, and financially, because of how deep down the dark road she was going," he said. "It was sad to say, but I had gotten to a point where I would rather her either kill herself or decide to get better and just take steps in the right direction... sink or swim.

    Tell your mom you love her today. If she went through addiction and beat it, I don't think people who haven't gone through that truly understand how difficult that can be. Yet your mom made it through and raised you. I've been following you for many years. You're a successful lawyer today because she beat her addiction and was able to raise you. I'm not saying it didn't come without its challenges or that you weren't instrumental in that success. But if she never beat that addiction, you truly wouldn't be where you are. Most people don't have the strength to ever overcome their demons. You have a truly special mother. Make sure you continue to appreciate her.

I have my notifications set so that I get an alert that he's posting a new video, or if he's premiering a video, with an on-line chat. I make it a point to make comments in the chats, and because I'm right there I'm usually in the first 40 or 50 comments, so I can be pretty sure he's going to be reading them.

For instance there was another Halestorm fan on this mornings chat, and we managed to exchange about 4 messages between us. I'm pretty sure that the set up that Alex is using is a lot easier to keep track of things because he has made return comments to 3 or 4 chat line comments that I managed to insert into the flow. So insert your/our Halestorm comments, even just a short "Miss the Misery, Halestorm, anyone with me? He will probably see it, and I've got returns from other people in the chat too.

I have a collection of mental disorders myself, mainly due to childhood trauma. Sometimes it's hard to hear this song, but I'm glad Hawkins made it, especially since it's so personal to him. P.S. Hawkins also directed the music video to Jenny, the dude is massively talented! Another Nothing More recommendation is Mr. Mtv... it's a shot at corporate America taking the soul out of everything we used to use for artistic outlets. At the heart of it anyway.

It kept going on until I graduated high school which was in may. I wanted to take my life in 7th grade. I hated myself so much that I stopped eating lunch for a couple weeks and started eating less. I'm not anorexic, just to be clear. I got more depressed so then came anxiety. I got nervous talking in front of class, but then it was from getting nervous talking to people to actual panic attacks. Body positivity is very hard, but I've found a place wear I can be happy and that's with my kind of music (metal) and art. I'm forever cursed with crappy body positivity and extreme social anxiety but I'm getting better. :) thanks for being here for me Alex. I love this channel. ❤
