I also suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts so I understand completely mate.
Stay strong.
First, thank you for your service! I hold those who serve or have served our country in high esteem! Second, you earned my sub the first time you paused the video to talk to us. Offering yourself as someone to help total strangers with their problems makes you a hero in my book! I am so sorry to hear about not only your loss, but also the personal problems that you have dealt with. You found the silver lining though. You use these sad occurrences as a teaching tool for your children and that is awesome! Sharing your experiences is a wonderful tool for not only helping yourself deal with certain issues, but is paramount in letting others know they're not alone with the issues they're facing. You seem like a good guy, and I hope everything continues going well for you and your family!
This hits hard, in less than 12 months I have known 4 people that have committed suicide and I come from a family that is rife with addiction. My father a crack cocaine addict, my grandad an alcoholic who are in recovery and are now several years clean and sober , my aunty who passed away from alcoholism and several other family members who have/do suffer from addiction and depression. Good for you being open and honest about your own experiences and sharing your message. Definitely subbing to you👍
David Draiman....One of the BEST male vocalists on the planet. David and group ALWAYS have a message in their songs.....soooo many people can relate to this. This group always takes the time to make songs to help people and the planet. I love this group! Did you know Cory that David not only does all the vocals but writes all the melodies AND lyrics to their songs? Btw...loved your reaction.....was so honest....and humble....keep going man.....
I stumbled across your channel cause of this song. This has to be one of the most surreal reactions I've seen. The whole reason I like them is that it allows us to vicariously by experiencing the music for the first time through another's eyes. I hope you are doing good, and I hope you keep trying with your channel. The only thing I believe you've been missing is exposure. Keep at it man.
This song is a heavy ass song for me too. Both for losing people to addiction and suicide and being under their grasps myself. It hurts. It hurts being reminded of it. It hurts seeing it. But it also helps people connect. It also shows empathy, heart, and sorrow. Once you've been wounded by these demons they take hold and it's hard to shake them. Knowing you're not the only one fighting them, feeling it, missing them... It helps. It helps give you strength. While we wish we could change what was, the truth is all we can control is what comes to be.
Most recently I lost my dad due to the after-effects of addiction and the party life. In the 90's he ended up with Hep C. That never slowed him down, and in the mid 00's addiction took its toll on him. He ended up with a bad batch of the drug he was hooked on and it fried his brain causing him to have bad bouts of schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. He went from being the life of the party to so agoraphobic we couldn't get him out of the house at Christmas. His Hep C never got treated, and cause him to contract liver failure. As it progressed his brain was shrinking. We lost him a day at a time right before our very eyes. He wasn't a bad man. He wasn't evil. And there's not a damned day that goes by that I don't wish I can just give him one last hug. He passed in 2017, and it still hurts as bad as the night it happened. I also see military friends who came back with severe PTSD, not being able to cope, and watching people I care so fucking much for hurting so damned bad knowing there's no way I can fix it. I know the only thing I can do is try and help them survive the storms. Our culture needs to change the stigma on mental health. It's just health care. It's crazy, people will get any other organ checked out if someone says something is off... Mention mentality and suddenly it's taboo and off the table to talk about. The brain. The most important organ we have... and we are scared to be labeled and ostracized when we should be taking it most seriously and being treated as someone who needs help.
Much love man, stay up. Keep trying, and keep on. The best way we can honor those we lost is by living to the fullest in their memories. To honor what they believed in, and to fight to keep others from going out the same way. It's not easy. To be honest, most days it's the fucking hardest thing in the world. But we have to, we have to live on for them.
Thank you for opening up and sharing all of that. I think sometimes one of the hardest parts of healing is making ourselves vulnerable in sharing our hardships. I sincerely hope that things look up for you as you continue to push past the traumas you've been facing. You're absolutely right in what you said about mental health though; until we make it a priority, it will be a demon that overpowers far too many people.
As far as my channel goes, I appreciate the kind words. If you look at my channel, you'll see around the beginning of the year I changed to voice over work. Being in front of the camera 150+ times my first year honestly got to be taxing. I largely used the new YT policies and copyright stuff as a reason to stop reacting. After a couple months doing voice over, I just stopped making videos. It became harder to justify taking time from my family to make videos, and honestly part of that was because I wasn't seeing any tangible results. I was overseas before, so making time to make videos wasn't an issue, but once you get to see and be with your family again, YT becomes less important. I've really been considering getting back into it, but haven't quite figured out how or what direction to take it in.
Its been a while since I've done anything with my channel, but the kind words and support from people like you make it worth it. Thank you again, and I hope that you have an amazing rest of your day.
I feel what you are saying, I have been struggling myself with depresion. Btw, Disturbed are pretty much the ones that saved my life with their music and helped me battle the war against my demons for many many years many times over. Music can save lives.
First of all, thank you for video. Second, thank you for your service kind sir. The demons will never go away but in my case, my friends and family stuck by my side 100% of the way. My wife,friends and family put up with my addiction for 15 looong years before I said enough is enough. I've now been sober 13 years and I NEVER want to go back to the darkest pits of hell where I once was. One day at a time. Thank you again 🫶
Thank you. The song was the nails in my addiction coffin, but your words and sentiment have been the hammer to drive those nails in and beat this. Hope you are keeping well still. My wife and kids deserve the real me and that's what they're getting. As dramatic as it may sound, you have saved a life.
I'm still going strong, though I've since been medically retired from the military. Still sober and enjoying life and my family. Reach out to me on FB if you'd like. Same name, but with the middle name Andrew added. I'd be glad to connect.
really sorry to hear about your troubles man, i hope everythings alright now. you seem like a great guy and your reaction was great. keep up the great content man. appreciate the message you gave off. this video made me smile and cry at the sane time.
My grandfather commited suicide...on his birthday...this hits hard man...
Thank you for posting and your honesty. You are amazing and never forget that! It's okay to say you're not okay. I lost my 23 year old son by suicide March 2018. He was a kind and gentle soul who had depression and didn't feel like he fit in and lost all hope. As a survivor of suicide you never get over the pain, sadness, guilt, the should have, could have, would have, the never ending questions of what was the trigger on that morning. The pain gets passed on to those that love you and are left behind. My heart is forever broken. Elijah, forever loved, forever missed. Fly high my kind and gentle son, until we meet again ........
Thank you for sharing your story. I think it's important for people to know that they would be missed if they made that decision. I'm sure you would give anything to have your boy back. I couldn't imagine your pain, but I appreciate your willingness to talk about it. Unfortunately, it's a taboo subject that gets pushed under the rug too often and I think sharing experiences could keep it from happening even more, especially in these terrible times.
@@AmazingBacon Yes, I wish that I could turn back time and have my boy back. When someone contemplates on taking their own life they don't think of the impact it will have on the lives of those left behind who love them. They are not selfish, they just didn't know how to stay. Please anyone reading this never lose hope and reach out. You are not alone. There is only one you and you matter. IMALIVE.org is another place to reach out if you need help.
No need to apologise for being human,I fight depression 24 7, it's seriously hell,I do keep fighting for my kids,they keep me going when I'm not doing well.
💖💖💖💖💖💖 this song, message, music, David draiman's voice is 🔥🎶🎸🔥🎶🎸🔥🎶🎸🔥🎶🎸 he can sing anything!!
Hang in there!! If I beat the demon's...anyone can!
@@larryd4352 sometimes it feels like that's all I'm doing 😥😥😥
Thank you brother for touching on this subject and sharing your story! I can relate,...hang in there.
Aloha~🤙🏽
It's been the hardest video for me to record. I think it helped getting it out though. Thanks for the support!
Good message.
one friend can save a life.
Remember that you are not alone ❣send you a big hug 🌹
Wow. i have watched their video lots of times and each time it brought tears to my eyes. But today...wow, watching this video on your channel made it even more real. My sister battles with depression and i lived in a horrible marriage to someone who drank but was never willing to change or fight the battle. Thank you for your reaction and for your honesty. You have a reason to fight, and we are all here for you. Great video man.
Thank you for being brave.Good luck to you. God bless you, and your family!
I suffered with depression and alcoholism for years after my 1st marriage failed. I drank to stop the pain...but when I was sober...the pain was still there. After I met my wife of over 20 years now...the total, unconditional love she showed me helped me overcome the pain...and in 1999, I stopped drinking. I had a reason to fight! It's been over 20 years now that I have been sober...and I don't even think about the pain or the alcohol.
You can fight and best the demon's. Don't be afraid to ask for help!!
*hugs* (if you want them) I am a long time sufferer of depression and PTSD. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, this song literally saved my life and helped me to go back to therapy with an open mind. I found the courage to speak my truth through this song and The Light. I was ashamed of what happened to me as a child, I kept it hidden and secret for years, but have learned to be proud of how far I have come and not to be ashamed anymore. All the hugs for you (and I'm a mom so you know they are good hugs), keep going and keep finding that next reason to fight. Thank you so much for doing this reaction and sharing your story. Every voice makes us stronger and shines a light on the dark sides of humanity. *hugs*
I’m the survivor of 3 suicide attempts and 10 yrs of meth use. I’ve been clean for 14 yrs now. I was diagnosed with bi polar type two when I was 54. I’m 61 and still struggle now and then. Stay strong. We are DEFINITELY not alone and CAN WIN!
Thanks for this brother. Awesome video
Amazing reaction. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your story. Not only has it made me stop to reavaluate my own life, but waching your video has also helped my son to share some of his own feelings as well. God bless.
Thanks for such an honest and brave reaction! We all need each other!! May we all find the peace we need and help each other too!!
Thank you brother 🙂
Thank You.
Que essa voz vá cada vez mais longe, forte abraço do Brasil
The only thing keeping me here is my son ❤️ without him I would end everything . I'm just tired
I'm sorry, I just now saw this comment. I hope you're still well and fighting the good fight.
