    I suffer from PTSD after a 35 year Army career. I lost my son to an IED explosion in Afghanistan 3 weeks after I retired. I started drinking so hard and popping pain pills. One night I sat at my kitchen table with my service pistol to my face. My cousin sent me the save me video. As I listened to it I stood up put my pistol in a cupboard and dumped every bottle and every pill in my house down the sink.
    It's been 7 months and the PTSD is still bad and the pain still haunts me. But this song did "Save Me"
    Christ I miss my son so bad.

  • @xdaniedx
    @xdaniedx Před 2 lety +9

    Jelly Roll has saved a bunch of peoples lives. Including mine. As a man we're told to "man up" when we should open up. I have held in my childhood trauma of almost being raped when I was 8, physical abuse from my father, horrible life decisions, ex wife cheating on me then killing herself with a hot shot, PTSD from my time in the military, cumulative grief from losing my mom and best friend 10 days apart. In 45 and some days I pray to those I love that have passed on (I'm not really religious) but I pray for them to take me with them. I'm jealous of those that have passed on. They don't have to be buried above ground like in a skin coffin like I am.
    But I came across Jelly Roll before he did this song. He's a rapper. That's how he got his start. And I heard his song "ENEMY" and the chorus had me in tears.
    "My Only Enemy Is Me
    I’m Up Аgаinst Something I Cаn’t Beаt
    Well I’m Good Аt Putting On А Show But In My Mind It Аin’t How It Goes
    My Only Enemy Is Me"
    It's so simple but it made me realize in fighting against myself. It woke me up. Made me realize I'm not alone. The lyrics for almost all of Jelly Roll's songs are about battling mental illness. And he just released a country/rock style album after this song "save me" blew up.
    Here's a little list of Jelly songs and they genre they're in.
    RAP:
    -Fall in the fall w/Struggle Jennings
    -Same Old A**hole
    -The Bottom
    -Nothing Left At All
    -Life Featuring Brix
    -Enemy With Struggle Jennings
    -A Dream (it's an Adam Calhoun song but it's so good I had to add It)
    **Everyone of these songs (except Enemy) Jelly raps on and songs2 the hooks**
    ROCK&ROLL:
    -Promise
    NOT ROCK/RAP/COUNTRY, R&B Maybe? The songs are sooooo good!!
    -Glitter
    -I Need You
    COUNTRY:
    -Sober
    -Son of a Sinner

I can't relate to all the specifics that Jelly Roll went thru, but I can certainly relate to that part of my grief while I just hated God with a passion. No matter how much folks warn widows and widowers what to expect, it's not real at all until we go thru if for ourselves. I am on the other side of it now, but still recovering in my own way. Thank you for all that you are doing. I did not know what to make of Jelly Roll when I first heard about him, but the first time I heard him sing, he pulled me right into his life. Another great artist.

    I lost my brother to heroin overdose Thanksgiving morning 2011 that day I lost my big brother and my best friend, I never got to say goodbye and the last thing I said to him wasn’t nice and I wished he would die instead of telling him I love him!
    I was a alcoholic and a drug addict for a long time but I’m almost 11 years sober and this hit me in the gut!

    I'm adopted, have 4 types of depression symptoms, borderline personality disorder, and last but not least, a generalized anxiety disorder. Feeling like a lost cause is my every day and every day I fight that notion as much as I can with mantras..."I'm enough, I can last just one more day," and the day after I tell myself again, "I'm enough, Just one more day".
    I'm not okay. I hate the question how are you? The lie of "I'm good, how are you?" is expected and when I don't have the energy to lie and tell the truth, it freaks people out.
    Thank you for being part of the solution to breaking the stigma.

    I'm a recovering drug addict, alcoholic, domestic violence survivor, and self harmer..I have been homeless. My addiction caused me to lose everything, including my kid's.
    This man is a savior to so many people. He is the voice to the voiceless. I love seeing people hear this song for the first time and their reactions.
    I'm struggling today. My mental health is not ok. I've been suppressing these feelings for awhile now. And I couldn't any longer. I was actually suicidal and decided to listen to my playlist entitled "Healing in music". And I have the playlist on shuffle. This song was the first one to play today. And it just reminded me of how much I have already overcome. Who and where I used to be versus who and where I am today.
    Jelly Roll saved my life today. Literally!
    I reached out for help and my daughters are with me tonight and will be coming with me to an appointment tomorrow. I was going to go today, but, I was scared. It's not my first time feeling this way. But I'm not alone. And I'm safe.

I literally at one point was so afraid that i might harm myself that it was extremely scary because i was not sure if i could stop it. Man it was rough but im doing so much better now. I think this is why his music resonates with me. I just thank god every morning that i am still alive and i have a wonderful wife who has been nothing but patient with me and such good kids. sometimes i wake up and feel like im in a dream. thank you for sharing your story, thats awesome how you got over things in life and is doing great!

    Everything in this song was going through my head in Oct when I lost Karen and Princess. I am a volunteer fire police member the 2nd asst fire police chief ( emergency traffic controller) when I radioed in that i was responding i was acknowledged by dispatch and a few minutes later i was told stand down and report to the fire house. About an hour later the fire fighters came back and i could tell they were all trying to hide they were crying. My best friend who i know for 20 years and also volunteers (fire police with me) came and told me about my G/F and puppy. Being 8 years sober and having my friends kept my going.

    I to had been in the phych ward, I had lost SSOO much. I was orphaned since 6, lost siblings, in 14 different institutions before 10 years of age. Foster homes all alone. Then got married and she died, just drank, smoked weed daily. Weakly attemped suicide. Them prayed to GOD to SAVE ME and he guided me through Rehabilitation and found an Engineering position just retired after 10 years. Been clean for 15 years, and I just want to hug him also. Like you said that life is not to be easy. There would not be lessons to learn if it were easy. And I believe the lessons that we struggle with will continue to manifest themselves in on form or another until we learn them. And man I am hard headed at times.

    I'm a 4-time suicide survivor. I know what pain is like. i have PTSD and other mental health diagnoses. I served 14 years in the U.S. Navy. As I got older, the illnesses got worse. I wasn't on any meds at the time. I was medically retired in 1994. Had a family to support and really no hope for the future. Amanda's right. We as a society need to eliminate the stigma of mental illness. Society sees us as trash and labels us as criminals even if we have never done anything illegal. They tell you to "Just get over it". I'm telling this from personal experience. We need to help each other get through this thing called life!!! and nit beat each other down.

    This is my introduction to you. I love this song. It's odd that a song that makes me look so hard at myself also brings me peace. It's a contradiction, it's a force beyond logic. It makes me cry almost every time.

    3 years ago I finally admitted I was addicted to dating sites and pornography. I was in an online relationship with a girl in florida while being married. I came forward about it to my wife and I told her I dont blame her if she left, because I might be a lost cause. She told me to get sober and she will stay. My dad is in 12 step and he found a program for sex and love addiction for me. I didnt stay in 12 step but I went to therapy. I am 3 years sober from dating sites, and it will be 4 on boxing day. My wife stuck around and helped me feel like I wasnt a lost cause and I am so damned grateful for her. I related so much to this song, and its one I have on repeat. Thank you for this channel cause you are helping so many people open up, and talk instead of hiding it.

    I've been dealing with pretty heavy mental stuff for about 15 years now, and as much as the dark thoughts come up.. as much as I may not believe good things will come some times. Everything you said at the end, about no one being broken beyond repair, someone being out there that cares about you and all that.. that's the reason I keep going, I've learned people come and go, so I try to cherish what comes before it goes. I just deal with the darkness as it comes, and try my best to push them back. People are often surprised to find how bright, nice and loving my mind is, when they find out even some of the things I think about on a daily basis. This song is one song that resonates so much with me, because it strikes so close to home on how I feel when I meet new people..

    Love your channel. I am dealing with my own demons and depression (suicidal thoughts.... Not right now mind you). A US Navy Veteran (retired 20 years), I always pushed off mental health help after every deployment and through all that suppression and substance abuse (alcohol) my demons came knocking about 5 years after retirement. I am trying to resolve all of this but I feel like such a burden to my family and friends (including my teenage son that I lose hope. BUT I am still here.
    Again thank you for being here on You Tube, you help.

In fact, when we are open and share our struggles, those around us realize that they can do the same and it actually HELPS them. There are several other vets here (such as Rick James who is very active around the comments and Friday streams) that would be happy to help you. You aren't alone. We've got your back.

    Really enjoyed your reaction and I'm a new subscriber. Jelly roll is one of my favorite artists that I relate to. I also suffer from extreme depression. Just three years ago I had everything I wanted. Work my way up from the bottom and had a good career, a wife, and was going on in constant Adventures all over the country. In 2019 I lost everything. It was like Murphy's Law kicked in full effect and no matter what I did everything got strip for me. I ended up homeless it on drugs and everything else. I can honestly say if it wasn't for the girl I'm with now, who has been my best friend since we were kids, I would probably be dead. I still think about that period And it gets to me at times. Depression kicks on and off ever since I went through all of that. Especially gets to me when I think of losing my dogs my car and my home and my career. Now I tried to just focus on rebuilding. Back at the bottom where I started. When I was younger I handled it better I guess being successful for the past decade made it even rougher on me
