A tearful David Draiman shares a powerful, very personal story during Disturbed concert

During the #disturbed show in Milwaukee, frontman #daviddraiman became emotional as he shared a very personal story and also described how he misses #chesterbennington and #scottweiland

[@susan1kane60]

Not every vocalist can talk about depression and suicide. Dave Draiman spoke from the heart. "You are not alone". God bless him.

Hi. @@isonation. I just last nite heard “Don’t Tell Me” for the first time and it really tugs my heart. I relate to it so much. I’m sadly separated from my husband for over a year. I just found out he has a girlfriend. We were together over 30 years, so of course I expected this to happen one day, and I truly hope he is happy and she treats him well. But omg does this hurt... REALLY bad.

"I try to keep this pain inside, but I will never be alright" ~Chester

[@EmmaLouise91]

I've always been someone who suffered from mental illnes(anxiety, depression etc.) yet in these last few years after suffering the loss of my grandmother to cancer and more recently my 6 year old dog to acute Leukemia, my dog who dragged me through and helped me overcome the depression and overwhelming sadness of losing my grandmother to both cancer and dementia. I fear the emotional pain more than I do anything else, I fear being sober because I've more often than not drank most nights since the death of my dog, sometimes into complete avoidance and oblivion. I'm terrified of the magnitude and depth of my pain. Because it was already too much 2 years ago when my nan passed away and now it's unfathomable. I'm not coping at all, It's pure grief, isolation and loneliness every day, no matter how much I try. I suffer from severe social anxiety too so, I'm basically f*cked. Misery is me.

[@JDog88]

@@EmmaLouise91 It sounds so cliché but there's always help available no matter what and no matter at what time. I'm a very introverted person and I like keeping myself to myself and generally bottle my feelings up, I've also had I invasive thoughts in the past. I've found that there is immense relief in just making a small effort to talk to someone close. Whether that be a parent, sibling, work colleague, even a friendly neighbour, it doesn't matter as long as you trust them, and you _will not_ be judged or be perceived as weak for having spoken about how you're feeling. There is no shame in asking for help, the mightiest of warlords never won battles by themselves. You're here as a result of love and so you are loved. No one in the world is, has been, or ever will be as unique as you. You have your own sense of humour, dreams and ambitions, opinions and talents and a whole life to live full of experiences, love and potential. I sincerely hope you can find the help you deserve to overcome your feelings and live life to the fullest. Best wishes from some random guy on the internet.

[@christinemclatchie]

@@EmmaLouise91 I can relate to you 100% and life becomes intolerable… But I have someone with me, who I have known since I was 27yrs old, and his name is Jesus… I had never felt peace in my entire life until he revealed himself to me at a church service one night. I didn’t even know He existed, after being brought up as a catholic and attending many catholic schools and my sister and I were sent to mass alone each Sunday. It meant nothing to me, as no one even approached us to find out why 2 very young girls were alone. I had been sexually and psychologically abused by my own father, and my mother wasn’t able to be available for me as she suffered greatly from depression, and at the hands of my violent father… When I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, I knew that He loved me, and He has been healing me little by little from the Complex PTSD and other mental health issues… There’s a scripture in the Bible that says “He came to heal the broken hearted and to bind up all of their wounds” and I’m a witness to that fact… We are all sinners, and this is why Jesus gave his life for you and me. He paid the ransom for our sin, so that if we turn away from it, he forgives us for every sin we have committed, and he remembers it no more. We have been promised a comforter (who is the Holy Spirit) who comforts us in our times of great sorrow. I can tell you that God the Father loves you with unconditional love, and he is there to hide you from the storm in His arms. He hurts when you hurt, and He wants you to call out to Him. He is closer than you know, in fact the Bible says “He is closer than hands and feet”. He also says in the Bible “Call upon Me in your day of trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will honour Me” He is a wonderful God, and has made all of creation (including our precious pets) just for us to enjoy and be awestruck by… I have nothing to gain by telling you all of this, but I truly care about you and your life… My prayer is that you would know who it is who created you, and will know the same joy that all of us who know him are experiencing. That you would have Hope in your heart, knowing that you are not alone on this earth. The Lord says “I will never leave you nor forsake you”, and may you know that too in your heart … God bless you precious one 🙏♥️🙏

[@chrisgore8597]

Chris and Chester were preparing to reveal a web of sick corruption in the music/entertainment industry before their untimely death's. They may have died by the people who caused their depression and addiction, rather than the depression and addiction itself. Keep children away from the entertainment industry, too many are traumatized and abused by those who have power and influence. Some grow to be rockstars, while being handled and controlled by the same people who abused them. It can be hard to speak out, and we see what happens when you try.

He's always listening to Aerosmith and the like, so imagine my surprise when sitting around the campfire he starts telling me about how he went to a Disturbed concert back in may. Me and the family were talking about music earlier that day so he had already figured how much of a metalhead i was. Never would've taken my uncle for one. We spent basically the entire night talking about Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin and FFDP. Never would've thought he'd be the guy to struggle with mental health, but he said to me that the speech David gave really motivated him. You are never alone!

His "wisdom" is nothing more than lackluster, platitudinous deepities proffered to elicit a sheep-like response from a crowd of sycophants. Addiction and depression, both, are entirely in one's control...even a minimal grasp of Greek stoicism bears this out, and conflating "addiction and depression" with what a child at St. Jude Children's Hospital has to endure is an idea that takes a special kind of myopic psychopathy to even entertain, much less utter to a large audience.

I love David Draiman and I'm so glad he didn't join Chester. My son introduced me to Disturbed's music a few years ago and he played Indestructible for me and I fell in love with David's voice and their music and have been a huge fan ever since.

❤❤❤ So glad we didn't lose another one of my saviours Lost my mum to suicide 6 days before my 19th birthday. It broke me in all ways possible, I've cried out so many times for help and I've been saved but through all these years I've listened to disturbed and connected. Into the fire is a hard song for me and then in 2017 my daughter performed to a sound of silence (it breaks me) and then in 2019 I performed to a reason to fight...I cried the whole way through my performance, as I sit now writing this with tears, because my partner, my stepchildren and my grandchildren are my reason to fight and they saved me Now at near 42 years old, my life is the best it's ever been, I'm not rich or popular but I'm happy. So thank you David drainman and the rest of disturbed, you were part of what saved me And too anyone reading this all, thank you for taking the time, and just know you are not alone and you are enough ❤❤❤

[@michellekennedy796]

We don't know each other but just know your words touched my heart and I want you to know you are not alone, you are loved by me also we are a lot alike ♥️ keep fighting the good fight my brother. ❤❤❤

#youarenotalone. This band has aided many people with there music and lyrics. Sometimes we fans forget how difficult life on the road touring from one city to another without stopping to rest their minds and souls. Drugs and alcohol flow freely around this life style and it is some’s way of numbing the pain. I am so proud of him for speaking out about the pain it causes the ones❤ left behind. It leaves a hole in their world that can never be filled. Thank you to this band for giving so much to so many!❤

Just lost my job due to an anxiety issue and I haven't seen this before. We are all affected whether or not we want to acknowledge it. The message rings through.

[@michaelwilson353]

I am mentally ill and thanks to bands like disturbed talking about it gives me hope. God bless disturbed

[@peggyjenner6291]

What a beautiful way to memorialize those he has lost and hopefully save lives by showing people how NOT alone they are.

[@nadinekaplan4295]

I was in tears as I watched this. You have so much to contribute to the world through your music and by just being you. Awareness is just the beginning. Thank you for sharing your story and your journey through it. ❤️

So true about addiction and depression. I lost my sister about 9 years back to an overdose of opioid... I'll never forget the sound of my mother's voice when she called me that morning, I was completely devistated. Now more recently on May 27, 2023 I received a call from the Allegheny County Coroner's Office notifying me that my son Daniel had passed. Speaking with other family members, I already knew the cause of death, again an overdose, this time fentanyl. I miss my son and sister so much.

[@WayneStatic171]

Wow this is so beautiful to see. Addiction is hell, i am an alcoholic for 15 years now. Quitting and starting again. What this man says is so powerful.

[@ivanquintero2082]

dude when the camera panned to everyone raising their hands it gave me shivers.. that was deep!

[@JL-zn7me]

Thank you David. My hand was up with all the others. For that moment, it felt so freeing, so peaceful. In that second, truly knowing you’re not alone. We’ve lost too many people and I’m so grateful you David, and those in the audience were there to raise their hands and share their hearts. 🙏🏻

[@anasantiago6930]

My three son’s and nephew’s got me hooked on them since they first came out. I LOVE 💕 THEM!!!!!

[@VaraLaFey]

Sweet. Draiman and Disturbed have always been a class act. I bet they help a lot of people by doing this.

[@VikingPressMedia]

God Bless you Dave. We need You!!!!!!

[@lukewalford223]

I lost a mate recently...everything about this message is so true...we need to look after each other

[@jenniferrobyn9028]

You are so right David. Bless you and yours.🙏🔥⚖️🕊️🐦❤️

[@scottstrain8388]

Not only is the music of Disturbed amazing on its own merit, the MESSAGES that Disturbed give us bring some light to the darkness.

[@arielbarnes3123]

The crowd saying “I love you, you’re not alone” speaks volumes for this genee of music. You have a reason to fight. You have a reason to be here. Depression, addiction, anxiety, and everything in between are REAL! This goes beyond music, this is real. This is raw. This is life. Horns up, metal heads. We can fight the good fight together! 🤘🏻

[@moonshelter3448]

David now I admire you more then ever. I deal with mental issues for the most part of my life and I won't give up. You should never give up too. Nobody ever should give up. No matter how tough it gets just remember guys that your win would encourage those who's struggling as well. Thank you David.❤

[@robertosanders4864]

I was there bro that was a great woman I'll never forget it the best concert ever bro a peace.

[@miamichaels5999]

I lost my older brother to addiction last July. He was found dead on the sidewalk last July. Thank you David for acknowledging addiction and depression and reaching out to others. Much respect.

[@dannylance5212]

Facts, facts from a legend. May his words give you the strength to carry on, fight your ass off. You got this, we are not alone my friends. 😢

[@ianfranks541]

I saw skillet live and they take a moment and deal with issues of addiction and depression. And the way skillet leads into overcoming issues is with their song “Rise” it’s really cool! Skillet puts on a great show and they’re an extremely positive driven band.

[@profound369]

I love skillet so much

[@ianfranks541]

@@profound369 same here. They’re great.
