Beartooth - Might Love Myself - Therapist Reacts

[@xXbaker115Xx]

Saw them 2 nights ago and Caleb gave a speech about what these new songs mean to him and how he needed to write those last dark albums, after they were done with the last album he said he never wanted to be in a place that dark in his life again, he was sober for like a week when he started riptide and he's 19 months sober now I'm 1 year sober now and was going through a very similar thing he was when that last album came out and now im going through what he's going through now, learning to love myself and the life I have Almost cried when he gave the speech and sang this song

[@justinstrong9595]

I'm glad he's sober but this song is complete dogshit.

[@darbytheturtle]

I was at the Melbourne show and he gave a similar speech (I recorded their set if you wanna go back and relive the experience) but it was a beautiful speech and I am thankful to have witnessed so many people showing their appreciation and love for them and their music

[@jariley513]

Such a happy song about realizing it's important to love oneself.

[@bctreflectaify]

First time I listened to this song I almost cried, because it's exactly how I felt and now fell. I had a long history of depression. Most of that time I wassn't even aware of my health problem. Every single year of the last three years were the best year of my life. It was very hard to aknowledge my problem even harder to find a way to get up and do something about it. I tried a lot of different things that never really worked, but I had to push myself doing something new. I like to encourage everyone to never stop trying. You're not alone, friend.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: Yes, denial can be such a slow and long process to deconstruct. And even then, it feels like it's easy to come back and forth between a place of naming a problem versus feeling like everything is okay. It forces you to slow down and ask yourself questions that hurt. One one hand there is this urge to keep moving forward just the way it's always been, and on the other side there is this gut feeling inside that tells you something needs to be found deeper. The surface creates sometimes an experience of life that is so far away from how we live it internally. Well done for acknowledging what you were going through, friend. It's a brutal reality check, but it's also a strong step towards being connected with yourself in a way that enables *healing*. Putting words on your experience, *naming* it, can be one of the scariest things possible. Although it's impressive how much power you can regain once you start naming things and finding a new meaning out of it. To me personally, depression has also been a long history, but it took me an insane amount of time to actually sit down with it and consider that it would be it. The word itself, depression, was causing so much heartache and fear. It feels as if it becomes hard to trust yourself suddenly - how could I even live all these years on survival mode without being aware of it? Just a brutal lesson overall. You have been through these major steps and something beautiful came out of it too: proving to yourself that you have resources within to see the red flags and so something about it. Yes, it's definitely a "one step at a time" kind of process, and so many times it requires to move way beyond our comfort zone of the moment. For what it's worth from a stranger on the internet, I'm proud of you for pushing through, for moving beyond the refusal to see. You have opened a door to yourself, which is such a beautiful way to manifest *love* and *care* for yourself too - even if it feels just messy and scary in practice. Rooting for you and through the chapters you'll encounter in the future. You're on the right path. You will be able to overcome what may feel like walking through the same cycles again - through these cycles you keep experiencing, learning, growing. Eech time you choose yourself is a win. <3

[@bctreflectaify]

Thank you for taking the time to answer with such kind words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your words are helpful and uplifting. I especially want to point out, how much I agree, with naming things and starting to become aware of red flags. That changes so much, if you start to know your self better. WHY you do things the way you do is so enlightend. I sometimes caught myself doing and handling stuff different without even trying. Also, it can be very funny sometimes that I even have to laugh at myself, because it could have been so easy all along. I'm from Germany where mental health is widely still seen as a weakness. Since I started to speak openly with friends and co-worker, more and more people started to speak with me about their own mental issues. Having people sharing their worries and troubles with each other is such an awsome helpful experience. Thanks again, for being here. The value you have can't be measured in any way. Have a great day

[@eddiem1494]

I’m too a metalhead therapist and been a die hard Beartooth/Caleb fan for the greater part of the last decade and to see the healing process he’s been on to get here is amazing and why I love music so damn much! ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@patrickscott2914]

They've barely been a band for a decade. Technically a little less. Pretty rare being a fan from day 1, that's awesome

[@christianjones4497]

I've been there. I have PTSD and severe anxiety from military. I lost everything because it brainwashed me into thinking I was just cursed. I thought everything happening was my fault. I barely could get out of bed. I don't drink or do any drugs but I lost my house, my family, and my life because I gave up. I thought I would never get better. I lost hope. But I'm living proof that IT WILL GET BETTER IF YOU DONT QUIT! I'm 55, I was married for 26 years. But through PERSISTENCE, IT WILL GET BETTER! This song is perfect! You CAN love yourself and KICK whatever is keeping you down! Just DONT GIVE UP, NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS DONT QUIT!!!

[@HeartSupport]

It will get better!! such a powerful messgae, and thank you for sharing a bit about your story. It's inspiring that you would share and encourage others even if you aren't feeling 100% right now. That's the kind of person you are, an encourager. You're not cursed. It's not all your fault. You're on your way. I'm proud of you - Taylor

[@DexterityRedheart]

Metal relates to trauma, it’s the emotion we all wish we can just scream, but music works or many in many facets and metal is by far the most abused people screaming their hearts out about injustice

[@DexterityRedheart]

An example daz black working with I prevail for gasoline, we all have gone through shit in our lives the most important part is we gas each other up to be exactly who we want to be

[@darkhumor8125]

This is the reaction I love to see on this song. You can see it in his lyrics and voice how he has changed and mental happiness and I love it ❤

[@andystrader6682]

When I first heard this song I thought it was unbelievable and the lyrics really resonated with me. I went on KZbin just to see if you had new videos up and I was so glad it was a reaction to this song.

[@bigpapi8558]

I'm here for this positive side of metal. Great job Taylor I love all your insights... and so happy that Caleb is showing this side of himself

[@ryanpalmer1777]

He said in an interview after releasing riptide he's done with making sad songs all the time because he just doesn't wanna relive that stuff and he's the happiest he's ever been since starting Beartooth 12 years ago

[@dochd7441]

Caleb has definitely come a LOOOONG way. I'm proud of him

[@ChristCoreKid777]

God bless Caleb and his journey, he's doing so good.

[@shaned25]

[@darbytheturtle]

Had the fortunate opportunity of seeing these guys live and Caleb mentions how his sobriety has helped his mental health so much and while he still has his bad days and moments, hes learning to appreciate everything for what it is, a message we can all hope to take away and apply to our own lives.

[@Steve.the.big.O]

I know that this reaction is an older one but here's my story... I hated myself so much that I tried to kill myself with booze and pills. I would wake up the next morning pissed off because I still existed. Somehow I lost myself because I was trying to be someone that I believed people wanted me to be. I would look into the mirror not recognizing the person in the reflection. I was about to lose everything and had to make a choice to fight my demons or get consumed by them. I grew my hair back out, put back in the piercings, started listening to the metal music that I once enjoyed many years ago. Now when I look in the mirror I see exactly what I knew I was always meant to be. ME! Metal music saved my life and has helped me to live my best life now. Now it's my turn to give back. I take my kids to concerts and we rock out with the metal family and it's completely changed my life 🤘

[@wolfboytracid]

Thats awesome man congrats I'm working on depression right now I listen to this band and they have helped so much

Great reaction to an amazing song!

[@chrisweber3120]

I just stumbled across your channel with your Sleep Token video and now this. And it's great. Could I maybe ask for a Lorna Shore - pain remains 1,2, and 3 reaction. I know a bunch of people have done it but I feel like that trilogy would be great for what you do 🤘 the videos are really deep and the deathcore genre makes it hit so much harder. I'd definitely have some lyrics pulled up too. Because....ya know...Deathcore lol

[@David-uc6sg]

Suggested this on Sunshine videobas well but you should definitely do a video on "Riptide" as well. It was the first of the songs released that will be on their upcoming album.

[@97jhughes]

I'm currently on my way to see my gf after not not seeing her for 10 days. We've been going through it lately. I'm single dad who had all but given up on love, and I was cool just being a dad. Then the actual love of my life came out nowhere. This song is meaning so many things to me right now. My gf and I are going to dinner to talk after the last time we saw each other I packed up the things I had at her house and left. This song has put so many things in perspective. Wish me luck guys.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: Wishing you all the best, friend. It sounds that your girlfriend and you have indeed been through quite a rollercoaster recently. I would imagine how stressful it is to anticipate this dinner together, as there's going to be a need to discuss what happened, to dive deeper into things that can hurt or reactivate difficult emotions. To talk about things that bring up a high sense of vulnerability for both of you. Fear may be present, elthough you are not letting it decide for you, and that is such a beautiful, strong move. That's where bravery resides the most - where we do things *while* feeling fear, while not letting it paralyze our entire life and being. For what it's worth from a stranger on the internet, I'm so damn proud of you right now. And if to some extent you have felt like giving up on this relationship out of a lack of trust and sense of worth within yourself, then I do hope this meeting with your girlfriend will be a first step towards healing - for both of you, for your child, and for you at a personal level. May all of this this go as smoothly as possible and find some peaceful restoration. My thoughts are with you today.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: Hey friend, hoping everything went smoothly for you yesterday. No pressure to respond at all or share any updates - just checking in. You are loved and you matter very much.

[@HeartSupport]

From eagertuna0: Thank you for sharing with us. I hope dinner with your girlfriend went well and am wishing you all the best. It sounds like you've had a bit of a tumultuous time in this relationship, which is beyond tough. I'm glad that the song resonates and am wishing you all the best. If you have anything further on your mind, please don't hesitate to share; we're here for you.

[@HeartSupport]

From Blaze: Hey Friend, Seems like your going through quite some time in this situation. It seems like you as a single dad is fine with you and you have Girlfriend that you haven’t seen in quite some time, I see that you had packed up as of my perspective I do not really know what has been going on through both of your guys perspective but it seems like from my perspective that you guys have had a argument through out that time as you have packed up from her house, I wish you luck throughout your relation ship and hope all works out.

[@HeartSupport]

From MedhaG: It seems like you've been through quite a bit, and your willingness to talk it out is appreciated. Wishing you all the best, and hope everything works out for you :)

[@AlexaOnWheels]

Self-love is the hardest thing to find, because we are our worst critics and are prone to find things wrong with ous. It's takes time and practice to learn to accept oneself for who we are with our positive sides and thoughts. I was depressed from a really young age, i remember having my first suicide thoughts when i was 9-10, not knowing what it was. Got my first deep depression with an eating disorder, anxiety and self-harm. Tried tree times to unalive myself between 18-20. Had substance abuse issues (alcohol was my poison). Had my first therapy session asan 18 year old, 4months after i was no longer in therapy because my antidepressants worked and i was now well enough according to them. But every 2 years i fell into q deep depression again with suicidal thkughts. I felt something was wrong with me that i overreacted and acted differently to emotions, rationally i knew i had a panic attack, that i was depressed and that i deserved better. When i was 26 i finally got a good therapist that did diagnosis testing, because many psychologists said i needed one and that i wasn't only depressed it was the symtom. 6months later i got the diagnosis trait of borderline personality disorder, and that i since a young age had BPD, i only had traits left because i had worked on myself by myself and in therapy for eight years. I was free from the diagnosis BPD traits when i was 28 much thanks to my Therapist and two years with the right therapy (both talking and medication that i stopped taking 5months before i got free). Since then i have loved myself, i can control my emotions and life is good with its ups and downs. I have also been through a life changeing event where i ended up paralyzed and didnt fall into a depression even if i got frustrated and sad some days, those days i let the emotions flow and be there. I'm now 34,5 years old and haven't felt better, life is beautiful and we need those downs to appreciate the ups and find joy in the smallest things. I do not write this for sympathy or anything of that sort, everyone have their own journey and struggles. I write this to say that everything may seem dark now but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, just dont give up, you are precious, loved and worthy of being happy. You are prefect the way you are even with flaws ❤ Thank you for your take on the lyrics, i love the way you break them down 😊 (Sorry if my English isnt great im from Sweden so spelling Mistakes and grammatical errors may occur)

From Wings: Thank you for sharing your story of transcendence. You were persistent and were able to maintain faith that you would succeed. Although challenges and coping strategies are unique to each individual, along with significant differences in the kinds of assistance resources that are available, real-life stories of succeeding are inspiring.

@heartsupport I am dealing with some struggles of being a 20 year old. I just recently left a job I was unhappy at. I am also trying to figure out a relationship with a girl. I feel kind of hopeless and lost. I tend to care too much about what others think of MY life and how I go about it. Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@HeartSupport]

From OneStepAtATime: @Colt6661 Hey there friend! I appreciate you being open and honest with us here. I know that takes a lot guts. Being 20 with a lot going on is very difficult. Trying to navigate life with others expectations can be extremely challenging and exhausting. I’m 28 years old now and felt very much the same things that you did (and still do). Life is a crazy journey. But I urge you to do what makes yourself most happy. At the end of the day, people will always have opinions and that’s fine, but you should put yourself first. We’re here for you at HS. P.S. I found that Beartooth’s song In Between has helped me a lot through the years, it’s pretty awesome! Keep the jams goin!

[@HeartSupport]

From Jearls: @Colt6661 Hey there, I am also 20 years old and life can be hard to navigate. Adult life started at 18, you're two years into it. Nobody would blame a 2 year old for not having their entire childhood figured out. The same logic applies. It is okay not to have life figured out, that's part of the beauty of life. Try and find hobby you enjoy, explore different career paths, get out and see the world! Life is just beginning so don't be so hard on yourself. -SM

[@HeartSupport]

From sravyasridhar: @Colt6661 Hi Friend! As someone who is also in their twenties, I can highly relate with you. I'm proud of you for leaving a job you were unhappy at because, at the end of the day, mental health is always the priority. I think a lot of people our age feel this way, so know that you are definitely not alone. Some advice that I have been given myself is to enjoy where you are right now. Enjoy the time feeling lost and not having a plan. That's a huge part of your twenties and you'll likely never have a time like this again where you have so much ahead of you that you get to slowly figure out. Live in the moment and enjoy where you are at. There's no timeline or rush for anything. Don't compare yourself to others because no matter what people say, in your twenties, most people definitely do not have everything figured out even if they seem like they do. You got this, and you're not alone. Take it one day at a time. - Star :)

[@HeartSupport]

From twixremix: @Colt6661 hey friend, you have many things changing and happening in your life right now which is no doubt stressful. thank you for opening up here about it. i’m proud of you for recognizing the unhappiness your previous job left you and wish you all the best in finding a new job that brings you joy and passion! it’s also so exciting yet a little scary when trying to figure out a relationship - i know you and her will figure things out together! and when it comes to caring about what others think, it’s a hard feeling to overcome. but once you find relief in the truth that you are in control of your journey and no matter what others think about the different routes you take, you know deep down inside that the decisions you make are in your best interest. so no matter what others may say or think about your life, it’s none of their business. you can’t control their thoughts but you can control what you do and the journey you pursue. you got this!! love, twix

[@HeartSupport]

From domenic4: @Colt6661 Hi! You are not alone. Being 20 years old is hard and it is confusing, there is so much pressure on you to do things and figure things out but take it easy and do things at your own pace. It is normal to feel lost but don't lose hope, change is overwhelming and it can be discouraging sometimes at this age but you have so many more things to experience and your entire life ahead of you! People's opinions can feel important to you but try to focus on what feels right for you, at the end of the day it is YOUR life and you get to decide. You got this! - Domenica
