Depressed guy REACTS to Ren x Chinchilla "Chalk Outlines"

[@Alice-xy3fi]

I'm so glad you're going deeper into Ren's work, and so sorry you are in such pain. I hope that in addition to appreciating the art, hearing your own feelings so clearly articulated offers as least the relief of being reminded you're not alone in this, and that many of the brightest, most talented, most contributory folks are going through the same battles and challenges-- others, so many others, with depression, anxiety, ptsd in all its forms, and other situations in which the mind creates torture, numbness, and all its other forms of misery. If you want to see Ren do something totally, shockingly different, I'd love you to react to him with his band, The Big Push, live in a whole other mode than anything you've seen of him so far-- a whole other side I bet you wouldn't have expected, or even imagined coming from him. Just to make it easier for you to find the best version, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4TIdKiIapalm80&ab_channel=TheBigPush Still loving your reactions, your purpose, your honesty, and the way you express yourself. Thanks for doing what you do, and being who you are.

I truly hope you find hope, self-worth, and love within yourself. I think Rens tracks will help you along. Mental health issues are difficult to control, and the industry doesn't seem to want to cure people. My wife lost both of her parents at a young age, and then a few years later, her older sister. She began suffering from depression and anxiety years ago. All of her doctors, upped dosages, or changed meds over and over. She's 67 years old and I'm 61. We lost our youngest daughter in March of 2020 during the "thing," and she fell deeper into her darkness. In late 2021, she threw away all of her medications and immersed herself into all of our grandchildren and friends, and has become a vibrant woman again. I'm certainly not suggesting that you or anyone stop medications. For many, they find the right type and dosage over time. Just know that I believe you will defeat this over time. 💞

His music helps me everyday!!!!!❤ I hope u find peace and love❤

[@lynette.]

I always play How to be me live straight after this it's another example of the hauntingly beautiful blend of their voices.

[@yilomina2047]

I think you'll really enjoy Sick Boi, and I would also suggest Ren's "Defining Success," the video he put out when he made it to one million subs on KZbin. Thank you for sharing such a genuine reaction with us!

[@chazbloom3924]

The chalk outlined "dead inside" feeling is that we have been pushing down our real selves and taking our meds to give them the version of us that their program wants. The chalk outline is around the person that we SHOULD be. That we would be without their influence.

I have been struggling with severe depression for over a decade. It sounds like you're in a similar place. Ren and Linkin Park (RIP Chester) have given me something to hold onto. My favorite track by Ren is "Pocket Full of Pain", I think you'll connect well

[@najsisazza]

Thank you for this reaction! Im so thankful for your sharing❤️ i heard your words and i feel at home here. Thank you from a new subscriber ❤

[@annatraustadottir4387]

There is actually a song called Depression by Ren, great lyric, heavy. Describing the state when you are in the middle of it.

[@Nix_P]

Thank you for a great reaction. I've suffered with depression since my teens (I'm 59). I've been on just about every antidepressant there is over the years, sertraline included. They all seem to work at first but it never lasts. I was on 3 different ones plus valium but now I'm only on 2. Still makes no difference. Ren's music triggers self healing & understanding within me that helps me day to day. He re-ignited a love of music in me & has given me a sense of belonging that was lacking in my life. Hearing him articulate my pain, sadness & anger makes me feel less alone. The RENegade community is full of love, support & compassion and I very much appreciate every one of them. Ren came into my life when I was really struggling having had to walk away from my family for my sanity, I was feeling lost & unloved. I don't feel like that now. Having a bad day, play some deep Ren, having a good day, play some bouncy Ren bangers! His music has become my constant companion in the dark. This in turn has fired me up to be better, to try harder, to spread positivity, to be kinder (to myself as well as others) one of his favourite sayings is "a rising tide lifts all ships" I am proud to be a part of helping & supporting others wherever I am able & on the days I am not ok I can lean on the music & community to cradle & support me. I hope that you can find solace & support too. 🫂❤️🌊⛵

Idk why. I’m in the very first line of the song on this video and I just started bawling. I guess it’s gonna be a day….. thank you for your reaction. ❤

[@Capo4sgn]

I haven’t found a bad song yet with Ren. He is truly special. Also on sertraline and anxiety and depression are a b!tch and a half but you are not alone. ❤️

[@AnthonyScott-n4c]

bro the renegade army is here for you you are not alone

[@Heyboo66]

Renchilla are staggeringly good, how to be me (live version) is my favourite,but he does so much that's more upbeat and I'd love to see you try that. Maybe power, losing it or his busking videos with the big push and Sam Tompkins. Enjoy the ride🇬🇧💙

[@saragates2255]

Really loved your vulnerable reaction! Ren tends to hit us right in the feels and it's often quite relatable. If you're feeling a bit down and need a pick me up I would suggest his song "Power" or "Humble" or "Patience". Any of these three tend to help me out when I need a boost. Take care and know you're not alone ❤️‍🩹🫶

[@Megnky920]

Great video ❤

[@unquiet4342]

I'm pretty sure it's 'beautiful shame'. (that such a perfect day should be anaesthetized by the ant!depressant, but one 'must take it just in case') hang in there brother, it can and will get better

[@carolweight5972]

It's that white t-shirt man

[@AnthonyScott-n4c]

never think you are alone you are not

[@905114]

[@carolweight5972]

[@tracymuckle8512]

Thank you from a new subscriber ❤

[@GabeHornne]

Hey bro when you get the chance you definitely gotta check out his song The Hunger

[@Lotus_Jay]

Welcome to the rabbit hole, I hope you find some solace in REN’s music like most of us have 🫶🏼

[@Prozak63]

It's a beautiful shape. As in a good chalk outline.

[@blackhatreact]

Oh okay. Thank you! I couldn't catch the ending constant sound.

[@bentracey4939]

official lyrics are a 'beautiful shame'. like its a perfect day, its a beautiful shame that you cannot appreciate it because you are scared things will go back to being awful again
