So often we feel like our traumas and past have made us "bad people" but in reality, they make us resilient. You are not broken, even if it feels like it....You are strong for what you've endured and conquered. You are a survivor. Continue your journey of healing knowing that we are loving you, you are not alone ❤️

I’ve suffered with depression and anxiety for most of my life. 2 failed suicide attempts, dozens of doctors, counselors, therapist, and medications later, I finally found a doctor who helped. That was 10 years ago and while I still have bad days/weeks/months, I thank God every single day my suicide attempts failed. I’ll be 63 years old this year and I’m living my best life. Help is out there but it’s a very long, hard journey. Please don’t ever give up on yourself. You ARE worth the effort ❤

[@keelandavis9681]

Wow. Hello mam/sir! I just wanted to say tha k you for this comment bc you just gave me more hope than I've had in along time. I have very serious issues with anxiety/depression and some degree of ehat I've been told is "agoraphobia." But it all stems from my social anxiety and panic disorder. I went to treatment for opiate and ambien addiction on Jan 2nd of this year. So I haven't used since Jan 2nd. However my anxiety and fear of being in public(I have a neurogenic bladder bc of a spinal cord inijury) which means I' have extreme odds of pissing myself in public due to my lack of control. This issue combinednwith my extreme anxiety and panic disorder makes it extremely difficult to out myself in positions to get help. Another example: I'm in intensive outpatient, but I find myself struggling alot to get to the CPT group therapy sessions whether its in person or theough zoom bc im terrified of how im being judg2d whether its in person or on video. I understand how crazy that sounds, but when it's happening, my stomach is filled with extreme butterflies like I'm going down a very steep roller coaster ride due to my terrified reaction ro potentially being judged. I guess my point is, I've been trying my best to go to therapy whether its 1 on 1 or groups sessions and I always end up having a panic attack or puking just before the meeting or both. I've explained this to my psyche doctor bit she told me that "she waa afraid to prescribe medications that would help me" bc she's done it b4 sith other patients and they ended up becoming addicted. I completely understand the risk, but I know that a low dose of ativan or klonooin for emergency situations would help me TREMENDOUSLY! BUT Since I used ro be addicted to oxycodone, they won't even consider It. This situation has caused me to wanna drink alcohol to lower my anxiety so badly it's hard to describe. I've also had horrible thoughts of suicide bc the anxiety leads to depression, which then leads ro thinking I'd be better off not in this world. This life isn't worth living thidneayz and if I cannot get help I'd rather be dead. I honestly don't know why I'm saying all this, other than hoping someonebwiĺ actually and finally help me for once in my life bc I genuinely don't have the strength to help myself to get better at this point in time!!!! It's now or never!!!

Long story short.. I moved to Oregon back in October of 1998, I was 21 and I didnt know anyone. I got a shitty factory job right away so I could support myself, and thats where we met. She was 23, and with some dirt on her cheek she introduced herself "Hi...(it was that super long pause you only see in the movies).... I'm Susie", she said. I was already in love by the time she said her name. I instantly fell in love with her, right then. We started dating and at times I needed to pinch myself because I honestly couldnt believe a girl this amazing and beautiful actually WANTED to be with me. Fast forward 3 years. We lived together and made friends together..we were starting a beautiful life together. On a rainy March weekend I went out of town with my friends band (I would help carry gear, do lights, whatever was needed) and returned that Sunday evening, it was March 18th 2001 to learn that my Susanna had committed suicide and her body had been found that morning in a room at a hotel by the freeway.... I can clearly recall the exact moment that my heart was crushed and I became dead inside. It was like getting hit my a silent freight train.. I had no idea. Zero warning signs... nothing. Nothing except her goodbye letter to me. Im 40 years old now, .. I still have not been able to allow myself to love the way I loved her.. Tell the "one" in your life that you love them, before its too late.. R.I.P. Susanna Lynn Hathorn I will always love you.. Great video, by the way.

[@The_Lone_Outlaw]

zombie668 Just remember that in her mind she probably was feeling as if her very existence was torture to you. But in reality, it was the exact opposite. God bless her soul, at least she is not suffering anymore. Always remember, you'll see her again. And you'll be together once again for all eternity. In peace. Happy. Together.

[@zombie668]

Part of me hopes it is that easy. Most of me knows that isnt a realistic hope to hold on to. And ALL of me knows, she was never "mine" to hold on to in the first place. I have chosen to try to use this as a way to learn something about myself and the world around me. Something that only she could teach me, even if that lesson had to come from her death... funny part is, I still dont know what it was I was supposed to take from this that makes me a more well rounded human being.... I have resolved that I may never know... and thats ok

[@moonchildprotectedandguide499]

this song makes me feel everything! all my emotions. see as a young girl right after I had my baby girl my life long strong mother was so hurt and down, aside I never saw before. she walked in to my room at the time she was living with me. she hurt so long so hard so many days with a smile on her face. see she walked in and held me thigh and expressed how much she loved me but could not feel the way she has for 13 years. she stepped back with the most broken lost hurt look any one could see in their mothers eyes. I could of died inside at that but then she slowly pulled a kitchen knife to her wrist as blood poured on to my floor as I cried out to her. see she hurt for 13 years over losing our dad of 6 daughters. she longed for his touch and strong shoulders that held her up when she was low. I hurt for what I experienced that day in my house as a new mom and for my family who had a loss. not everyone can hold it together for so long. I love this song and how I allows me to feel every bit of what's real it's a strong deep love song to so many. thanks for the share. God bless all thanks Casey landis

[@user-qb9fp7gu4q]

I dated a woman with depression and at times it dominated her existence. She would constantly thank me for “putting up” with her. I never looked at it that way. I just loved her. Sadly she has since passed on to a better place. For you Baby Girl, for you.

Sorry for your loss, I have major depression & PTSD, this song hits me hard. Cause I feel the meaning of this song. I've suffered from depression from before i was 13 yr old. I wish my BF i have now knew how to deal with my depression, he gets mad and makes it worse. I'm sure you was a blessing to her.

[@tashabritt13]

😢

[@mariesmith6744]

I've been with two men in my life that's dealt with depression that sadly 😥 😔 took my ex he was in the war in Afghanistan he was a paratrooper and I knew him from Highschool. But we got together after our marriages didn't work out and I didn't realize then how bad it was. The thoughts of suicide is what I mean. I seen what the war had done and I was just 21 at the time he was 23 went in as soon he was 18. So he came home and it just hurts thinking bk. He had flash backs, insomnia like very severe. And I didn't know what I was getting myself into but I loved him very very much. But we split for other reasons to work on ourselves and whatnot and we kept in touch but I wrote him maybe a wk before it happened checking in on him and my sister wakes me up to tell me he was gone and I thought it was a cruel joke. But it wasn't. I knew him being alone was the worst thing for him mentally. He lived w me but I moved out if my apartment w the lease was up so he moved bk in w his parents until he had bought his own home. And that's where he took his life. I blamed myself idk why but I did. And this song makes me think of hom so much. My ex husband also deals with self harm and depression very badly. I mean to the point of askin me w he used to drink to say I was okay with it and we have a daughter together. It breaks my heart he feels this way. 💔 😢 we have known each other now the majority of our lives and thankfully he's not drinking anymore but it still worries me at times. About the depression or starting to drink again and getting in his head. I just pray, check in on him and hope for the best. I want him to be happy even tho I couldn't make us work. He still has a beautiful daughter we share. Depression is tough I deal with it in a daily since I was around 8. But I don't get suicidal doesn't mean I haven't been. But if you're ever feeling that way, it's not the answer it will literally devastate your loved ones. As much as you think nobody cares people do. It's not the answer I promise you it's not.

[@reylen3875]

My girlfriend, one of the most amazing people on this earth, was badly abused as a child and as a result has dissociative identity disorder ("multiple personalities" although the right term is dissociative identities). She struggles with chronic derealization and depression/suicidal ideation and ocd too. Loving someone so much and so unconditionally, despite how much they struggle, can really fucking hurt. All you want is for them to get better and be okay, but it's never that easy. There are nights when I'm scared I'll wake up the next day to see she's gone. She deserves to live and be okay. She deserves to feel like the world around her is real and not just some dream, like her derealization tells her. She's suffered enough and I want us to have a happy ending, because her beginning sure as hell wasn't. It's unfair as all fuck and sometimes all I can do is cry and curse at the world for putting this on her and on us. If anyone sees this, and if any of you believe in God, I do ask that you send out a prayer for her recovery. Shit can be so hard. I'll be praying for any of you that need it too. update almost a year later: we are no longer together - not because of her mental health though! nothing bad. we are still very good friends, but the actual relationship wasn’t working because our respective long term goals weren’t compatible. she is recovering every day. very, very slowly, but i see the little bits of progress every time we see each other. things still aren’t easy for her at all, but i can see them getting there. stay strong everybody.

Reach out.. I know it may not seem like it but you ARE loved. You ARE important. The devastation of those left behind is immense. He was 23. Way too young to say goodbye. Thanks to Chris for bringing this very important issue to the surface. Its a hard one to deal with on so many different levels. Those of you who need to hear this listen: please stay. Choose life.

I hesitated to share but it goes... I absolutely love my wife, been married for 10yrs, we are best friends, inseparable and enjoying life together and some don't understand why we are always together, but we crave each other and truly enjoy our friendship, love and energy. We both have our childhood history which damaged us, and I have my PTSD / TBI from the Marines and deal with those demons, yet I put them aside to deal with hers as well, trying to be strong for our relationship when she drinks and damages it. I deal with her toxic behavior every 4- 6 months since the beginning and I will continue to do so until it kills me. My wife is therapy, which I fully support but it works for a few months and then she loses herself when she can't control her alcohol. I know why she loses control, and I want to be there for her and let her know she's stronger than this and don't allow her past to control and destroy her / our future. I've tried everything to help her.... I'm exhausted and wanting to check out myself but I don't....

Thank you from ireland as a sufferer it is not easy, and to hell with anyone who knocks it, i was brought up in a generation where the word depression was never talked about u were just in a bad mood, like hell i was, scared to say i feel depressed because u would of got laughed at or punched and told to catch yourself on, i was in my mid 40's before i addressed the problem and being an alcoholic didnt help near 5 yrs sober, and being treated properly for depression, iv found myself living in a city somewhere i never thought id ever live as im a country boy, but the count of 13,14,15,16yrs taking there own lives absolutly shocking scares me more needs to be done tell ur wee boys its ok to cry, wont make u any less of a man will make u a better man, rant over nice to hear of someone commenting like u just did we appreciate it thank you 💚💚💚💚💚💚🇮🇪

This song has touched me like no other It's been almost 7yrs since I lost my fiance to suicide and even now every day is still a struggle. When we met she was the light that saved me from a dark place. She taught me so much about life and myself. She was my forever and I feel as though I failed her by not being able to save her like she did me. I lost a big piece of me that day that I will never get back. I am just grateful for all the memories that I will always have to look back on.

[@terryskidmore6739]

On November 25, 2021 I lost my best friend and true soul mate.I couldn't save him. I keep asking myself what more I could have done. I'm pretty broken right now.The thought that brings me comfort is knowing he is at peace. .

[@Darsam88]

I'm sorry for your loss, about 8 months ago I found out my wife of nearly 10 years tried to commit suicide for the second time that I know of. I was sitting in my Office in tears because she wouldn't let me in and I was feeling like I failed too.

You didn't fail her........ if a person wants to go then no one can or will stop them. Release yourself my friend, you can't carry that load, it's too much for anyone!!!!!

[@judyseefeld2903]

@Russell Western that is exactly right. You didn't fail them. The depression overcame them. You can't save someone if they don't want to be saved. People with depression are ill. It's like a broken arm. Could you fix someone with a broken arm? No, you don't have the skill set. Depression is a broken mind. The thoughts you have are not true or normal, because depression is telling them, you don't really mean it, you would be better off without them, or with someone who isn't sick. The thought process in depression is not telling you the truth.

[@johansenyoyanovich4247]

I would suggest that it is not up to Mental Health Services to be God for people. They are not Miracle workers. They are simply doing a very difficult job with many employees being the lowest paid on the medical scale. Do one week in the Mental Health field and you will want to jump off a bridge, yourself...because of the overwhelming mess in society. I have been in this field for over 30 years, and the only thing I have found that truly works with much higher percentages than every other program out there is when you wrap a good family focused church that actually believes in God, and compassion, and is willing to roll up their sleeves and get involved int he tough work or breaking the chain's of addiction and helping people walk out of that dark valley. I have never known it to take less than 6 months.. most of the time it takes about a year for most folks to rebuild their world. More and more recovery programs are asking for the help of local urban churches to provide the structure needed for folks.

I don't like feeling like that. once I opened up and let him see why there are days I just wanted to be alone, or why I would not let him hug me, etc... the depression, anxiety, nightmares, suicidal thoughts, anger, hate... all that came back. he told me i was too dark, fuck up and he ran. glad to know there are still people out there that mean it when they promise they will always be there. gives me hope.

I suffer from mental illness, but as a single mother I just try to keep thinking of my kids. Ptsd,bipolar, anxiety, depression .

[@davidmosley6965]

This song is about the general consensus of how people think they are supposed to react to a loved one who suffers from mental illness. The husband is a metaphor. He is a law enforcement officer who saves people. Listen to words of the song. It's like the husband is telling the wife to do what ever and he will be there. When someone has reached the point of taking their own life, no one else can save them. Their loved ones can offer support and try as hard as they to prevent them from harming themselves. I know. I tried twice to end the pain in my life through suicide. I am stronger and healthier now. Depression is a all consuming black hole that closes in around a person and only that person can make the journey out. Meds, counselling, loved one are tools that assist, but only the person battling can help themselves.

[@theinternethq1910]

I’m no stranger to suicide and depression, in fact I have dealt with a couple periods in my life where I thought about my own life but always reminded myself... it will be better. My first suicide attempt was after a close friend of mine to his own life. I was heartbroken and didn’t feel like I could go on knowing it was a death I know I could have prevented and decided not to. My roommate saved my from my attempt and convinced me to become a man of faith and I learned there is always another way out. Since that day ten years ago, I have prevented 3 suicides of loved ones and 1 complete stranger, all thanks to the power of speech that God gave to me. No matter how bad it gets, put your faith in something, anything and you will defiantly see change.

This song is more about the trials that come with loving someone more than the struggle itself. He is saying take it all out on me, show me what you got and I am your rock.

I take the pain and move forward. I sit, lay, stand to ease the pain, ice too. I have gained so much weight that it hurts to move. I hurt my knee about 2 months ago and now I have trouble walIking.

That's what's missing from this video is the kids, I went through this with wife for years and the hardest part for me was trying to save her and the kids at the same time. I eventually paid for her to live in a separate house that was near by so she could see the kids during her good days. It's a real helpless feeling you try and do right by both because you love them. The good moments can be so great and the bad moments can suck away your soul. As hard as it was I had to break it off after 15 years it was doing to much damage to everyone. After living separate for 10 years we finally divorced, I got the kids and she got half of everything I had. Turns out she had been having relationships behind my back the whole time. The best years of my life wasted the good news is I got two great kids out of it. Give your dad a hug and let him know he's special and so are you girl hope things get better for all of you.

This is my first time hearing this song and seeing the video, and it definitely hits home for me. I lost my wife of 33 years April 22nd 2022. A date that will forever haunt me. Her depression and addiction finally got the best of her and she took her life on that day. In her mind I guess she felt like she was doing the right thing and relieving us of the burden she felt she had become. Nothing could be further from the truth. The real burden was trying to pick up the pieces and trying to make sense of it all as well as knowing I couldn't help her and that she is no longer here. I miss her every damn day. If you suffer from depression, addiction or anything else and feel like no one cares and leaving this world is best for everyone, ITS NOT! Just remember, the people who stick around when you are at your worst are the ones who truly love and care about you.

[@kerryfeland9889]

I live this every day. My daughter is bipolar. This video puts into view what cannot be described to someone who is not living with this. To get help is not as easy as others would like you to believe and even the people within the system are not always the help you think they are. Someone who is going thru depression needs at least one voice in their corner to stand up for them, protect them and help them to get to that help. It is as much of a battle for the caregiver as it is for the person suffering with the depression. I've been asked for years by the professionals how I've managed to keep going and being there for my daughter. Simple answer....when I look around, there is no one else there except me and God to help her.

But I think this video would had rang more true, in hind sight, if the person that took all the shots, all the fire, all the heat, was the one that couldn't take anymore & ended their life. I'll never forgive myself for not being more gentle, even though I thought I was, doing the best I could/knew.

[@RaloMante]

@@aa-hy7fs I can relate. I recently started a public journal hoping those who find it can comprehend how much I want to connect with others but after tragically losing loved ones it definitely gets hard to even decide to approach and/or take the first step. The initiative is there, there are definitely options to help us navigate through those feelings. This song took my attention one day and I keep coming back to it regardless I agree with its message or not… perhaps deep within I have an undeniable connection with it because it reminds me of where I have been mentally and it reminds me that I do not necessarily need to keep going back to that complicated state of mind. Lots of changes these past few years but it is nice to have a soundtrack for something that existed and no longer is, which is probably how I would define the connection with this song.

That was an amazing way of showing how being married to someone with anxiety or/and depression. Chris captured the highs and lows. I haven’t cried to a music video in a long time but I had to cry for this one.

You are so right, my husband couldn't care less. I guess that's why I left and getting my second divorce. Thanks for sharing that

I'm sobbing, this hit me so hard!

Prob borderline personality disorder, I have it and this is the hell my husband deals with. I thought it was depression but it's actually more complex and the spouse will suffer just as much. Sad video..

I am one that suffers from ptsd, depression and anxiety. I would be lying if I said detrimental thoughts have never crossed my mind. We all have different things that have brought us to this point. Sometimes it's a daily struggle dealing with it. Other days are cake. But I have to keep trucking along. I know it's going to be a battle, but I'm a survivor and I won't let it beat me. Being a musician I can appreciate the way some can convey things like this in a song. Sometimes it's just the therapy required. I really want to say to all those in the comments that have said they suffer from the same things, I am proud of you each one of you for being able to say it. It's a strong thing to admit that you always aren't. Keep you heads up and please reach out if things start to go in the wrong direction. Y'all are survivors! Y'all got this!! Much love.

I got married at 19 and have been for 21 years. We have been through so many things from being homeless, a miscarriage, suicide attempts, and just about anything you can imagine. I told her the day we said "I DO"It was forever. Fire Away!

[@hagfoonscoop1321]

much respect towards you and your spouse, your a great example

[@bubbyblu9725]

Dont hear about people staying together that long anymore these days. Wish everyone understood and believed "til death, do us part" ya know? Most people have only experienced lust and not love. You sir, are one of the few of us that have actually found love and been able to hang on to it!!

I'm going through a lot of emotional pain, and its all getting to me and I'm trying my best to keep my cool. I stumble put I always dust myself off and I'm just trying to make it in this world.

My fiance took his life 6 days ago and I miss him more than words can describe. The pain is neverending. I want him back. He brought me so much happiness, hope, peace and love. This world is a darker place without him. I love you, my sweet Junior.

I’m so sorry!! May Jesus Christ comfort you as you heal!!

Suicide has always been seen as a weak escape from problems we don't want to handle in the past. I think more and more every day we are recognizing it as the clarion call to society that we open our eyes and see those around us before they fall too far beneath the surface to save themselves. My heart breaks for your loss, but I pray that you find small glimpses of light in the memories you held of him. Snatches of music that remind you of the times of joy.

[@jddallan1115]

Helen. So sorry for your loss. Wish I could bring back any human. Hope you're well. Take care

[@traceywashmon6829]

Exactly what I go through. Just found out I’m bipolar 2. I always thought the surges of energy were just happiness, and I never felt like anybody truly understood how low the lows would get. To anyone dealing with this I love you . Don’t give up.

[@alexporter7379]

As someone who was in love with and in a relationship with someone like this, PLEASE talk to them. We don't understand. Honestly. My ex tried to kill her self over it, and it still haunts me. We love you, I promise, and we really want the best for you. We would give our soul to see you be happy forever.
