I’m an old man with successful children and I have a schizoaffective disorder. My daughter paused her life and lives with me on the farm where she shares my good and bad days. I know it’s not easy for her to watch and pick up the pieces when I’m broken. Your song touched my heart and my love for her.

[@CarolJoyable]

Doug, my heart is with you. My father was schizophrenic, he passed decades back at I’m 63 now. I have manic depression which in itself is trying - I was told by a psychiatrist that it is the extremely tender souls that have these disorders but that we are also on a different plane of existence. Not sure I’m getting my point across, but never be ashamed or sorry for who you are. Your life has been a gift to those that love you.

My grandfather fell "in love" with me every time I would visit him. As much as it saddened me to see him fade away it brought me a bit of peace knowing that he felt genuine happiness in his last days. It's not something anyone can understand unless they've experienced but he had a school boy crush on me...his granddaughter of 30 years. He asked me every time he "met" me if I was married. He was a gentleman til the end and left this earth with the innocence of a child. Love you Papa

[@IAmSuzyQ]

I'm a nurse and I've always hated how easy it is for someone with a broken arm to go get the care they need, but when it comes to a "broken" brain, people shy away from seeking the care they need, because of the stigma attached to mental health needs. But it's NOTHING to be ashamed of; we need to support one another, and encourage each other to seek treatment, no matter what it is that needs "fixing". Thanks for the song, it's absolutely wonderful! Take care everyone! ✌️💜😷

[@TzadikTheManic]

How I *wish* my mental health issues could be helped not unlike setting a fractured bone. I entirely understand what you’re saying though trust me, sadly the stigma keeps endless souls from receiving care - can’t imagine how many suicides could be prevented. I’m at the end of my rope, not sure how much longer I can do this each day; I have had treatment-resistant depression, debilitating anxiety, pure ocd & severe adhd since my late teens. Have tried over 80 meds, diff types of therapy, barely any help. I just wish I fell into the population (over 90% of those treated) who experience some level of relief... Since the pandemic I’ve been full of suicidal ideation nearly every day & waking minute. I’m used to this but usually it doesn’t last for months, the heightened instability that is :/ Sorry for a long reply, couldn’t help myself. Actually a good thing as I’ve been in bed for days, at least I actually feel ‘ok’ enough to go on YT! -Kind regards & thank you for your work, wherever you are...it’s especially heroic & selfless in this world

[@IAmSuzyQ]

@@TzadikTheManic I'm the queen of long replies, so don't you dare apologize! 😉 I'm sorry you're having such a hard time; dealing with the feelings you've had since your teen years, is hard enough, and the last thing you needed was the COVID-19 nightmare. I've heard so many people saying the same thing, and it breaks my heart! I wish I had a magic pill that would take it all away, leaving you carefree and happy, unfortunately I haven't seen that yet. I wish I could say the perfect thing, that would make your pain go away, but I don't have that either. I'm so sorry, my friend! When I've been in that place (I call it my cave) I kinda want to punch everyone in the face, that say things like, "Keep your chin up, tomorrow's another day", and, "I've been there too, but things will get better!" and, "Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.", and "Why don't you try therapy? That worked for my cousin.". 🙄 I'm like, "yeah, thanks. So helpful.😒". I know they're just trying to help, but it never actually helps. Here's my favorite one..."What do you have to be so sad about? You're young, you have a job, there's food on the table, and people love you! Why don't you just get up, take a shower, and go for a walk to clear your head? That always help me."... I'm sure you've heard your fair share of those things too, and I bet they were just as helpful to you as they were to me...0% helpful. All I can say is that I understand, and I wish I could help. If only it were a broken arm, I could. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm sorry, and I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences with me. Anytime you want to vent to a stranger, I'll be right here ready to listen. ✌️💜

[@TzadikTheManic]

@Suzy Q Thank you so much for your warm reply. Yes indeed, I have had *all* of the above and more said to me...people mean well but it’s so frustrating & only makes you feel more detached, alone......in a cave. There’s so much I feel like saying (it’s almost midnight & unfortunately my anxiety/agitation is always worse at night, no idea why, it’s like being possessed in a sense - obviously I don’t mean that literally but it’s hell as all I want is to have a moment of peace, my brain won’t allow it, I feel “out of control” in that way, it’s like my mind/body is pure adrenaline for no reason, & end up staying awake til the sun rises 😞) but I won’t because this reply will resemble a novel 😉. I’d like to see a neurologist actually but due to covid19 I haven’t even been in a supermarket or *anywhere* since March. I just can’t do it. Ok going to force myself to stop here, don’t want to be a burden! -Thanks again for your genuine compassion, I can really sense it & that means a lot to me, over the ‘net & even though we don’t know each other - thank you!

[@Cryogenius333]

​@@IAmSuzyQ The Stigma is real. And in many cases justified. Anyone I knew who suffered from mental issues who tried to "bring it up" ended up 3 places. They were either forcibly commited to an institution. Or they were given enough medication to tranquilize a god and spent the rest of their lives so doped up they could barely function on a human level until they eventually ODd or their brains melted. You know medical lobotomies are still performed in some places? What a horrible way to spend the rest of your life. A medically induced vegetable. The ones lucky enough to escape any of those fate went utterly broke trying to find treatment. Its easy to say people should just "seek help" for a "broken brain" but the implications of making it known that your brain is "damaged" doesn't help. It makes some people afraid of you, and makes others see you as a target, and either way you get fucked. Its a glorious double standard.

[@IAmSuzyQ]

@@TzadikTheManic Hello friend! I was just watching a video and you popped up in my mind and I just had to tell you about it! Of course, I know very little about it, and I can't say if it would help you or not, but if I were you I'd definitely check it out. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It's for folks with treatment resistant depression, and it sounds pretty amazing! I know I'm going to look into doing it myself. Typically it's done in person, but because of COVID-19 it's offered virtually. You still take the medicine, but your guided trip is done via headphones or whatnot. I only watched the first 2 mins of the video so far, but I had to stop and send you the link before I finished watching. (I can't help it...it's the nurse in me😉) Amyway, here's the link, to the video I'm watching, but the actual company has its own website. What I'm sending you is of a lady talking about her experience with the company and the treatment they offer. Again, I can't say if it would work or not, but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't at least share it with you. You never know what might happen...and no matter what it's worth checking it out. Please let me know you got this message, and if you'd already heard of this treatment, or done it yourself, please tell me what you think about it! Obviously, I practice "mainstream medicine", but I've always kept a little basket of alternative treatments for those who are interested in going down a different path. To me, what's important is successful treatment, whatever it may be, and sharing it with others. Life's easier if we offer each other help, and accept it when it's offered to us. Good luck to you, and I look forward to hearing back from you! ✌️💜🙏💐 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5q9l52Gj9arr6M

I'm literally sitting in the hospital since August 25 because my soul mate suffered from schizophrenia and paranoia with alcoholism and the a little stretch where he used meth. He shot me 3 times and took his own life. He couldn't find an out. I promised I would never bail on him. I didn't and now he's at peace. He is here in my room all day and night. Keeping me strong because he always said I was the strongest woman he'd ever seen. I just changed my name to his last name. He proposed the day before the tragedy. I love him and forgive him. No one else understands. He was an amazing man but at times he was scary and confusing and I was scared. This song just fell into my KZbin and now I listen every day. Plus all your music is beautiful. Thank you for acknowledging this sickness. 🖤💯🥰

I Thank God for you and your unwavering love. You’re a Hero now allowing the soul to heal from this trauma. I am so sorry. I grieve with and for you in much the same ways. Deep pain of Love lost to suicide, mental illness was the bullet. I’m so thankful for you. I’m so proud of you. Your love 💗 your life together is never going to be anything to just simply move on from or to “get over.” But Only to “go through” the process and to cherish the times we had here on this earth with them, knowing that this life is but a vapor and then we meet again in Heaven where we live in God’s peace for all eternity. bc of Jesus. Jesus loves us. Unconditional love is the way He loves too. It hurts so much. Our loss is heaven’s gain. Thank you. Today especially, your message means a lot to me. Listen to the song 🎵 Nur ein Wort by the band Wir Sind Helden. Know that you never gave up. He knows that. He loves you. He’s in heaven now at peace yes. Absolutely. There is nothing you could have done to change the outcome please 🙏 know this. The part that needs help is the soul ~ the mind the will the emotions. The spirit is eternal. I’m mad as a hatter that there’s not more excellent help for this available STAT. When asked, even when received, and wholeheartedly, the hospitals/ the clinics can only do so much !MORE! People are hurting I pray always and I will continue to keep you in my prayers. 🙏 God bless you ❤Beautiful! God bless you and heal you.

I probably asked he for too many personal things that were interesting to me, like how she deals with it and what it is to be delusional from time to time, and her honest to the bone answers were eye-opening. She's doing pretty good, her parents and boyfriend are supportive and she doesn't hide her mental health issues. She works with animals. Hope she's doing great now.

I don't know, if you have heard of Edward M. Podvoll yet. He's a founder of the "Windhorse"-Project. An alternative healing method for psychosis. He wrote a book on psychosis and schizophrenia once. The english title is "Recovering Sanity - A Compassionate Approach to Understanding and Treating Psychosis". The main difference between schizophrenia and psychosis is, that a psychotic person has manic episodes, while a schizophrene person stays like this all the time. Maybe it can be useful to you somehow. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia once, which turned out to be wrong 3 years later. The things that were considered schizophrene ideas turned out to be real life behaviour caused by cybermobbing and framing from my neighbours in social media groups behind my back. But I didn't know back then. I only found out last year, when I heard some schoolkids talking about it on the tram. By then I already had no anxieties anymore even without medication. A few months later I caught a peeping Tom at my bathroom window, while he was taking a foto. Then I knew, that everything was real. I only didn't have any proof before of what was going on, so my explanations sounded weird. At least I had the chance to call the police now.

I found my grandfather when he committed suicide the day before my birthday by a 12G....he was the closest thing to a father I've ever known and the only man to never hurt me..... He was my best friend but sadly he was fading away and to this day he was the smartest person I've ever known... I'm not mad at him for what he did,I get why he did it... He knew his mind was going and didn't want to be a burden to anyone... A week before it happened I was making us lunch and he asked me with a smile if anything ever happened to him,that I would take care of grandma... And now for the last 12 years my grandmother has lived with me and I'm watching her slowly fade away but I know they will be together again and he's waiting for her.... I miss him every day and I still cry every day a little when no one is looking. But I know he's happy and not suffering anymore and it makes me smile....

[@colleenpelz8890]

This song instigated a long time interest in your talent. My grandfather was a paranoid schizophrenic, my father clinically depressed, his mother progressed into dementia before she passed, and my brother schizo-affective bipolar. My older sister cannot physically carry children due to a health condition, my younger brother would be unlikely and on social security due to what was mentioned above. That left me, the middle daughter, as the one child who could produce blood-related grandchildren. According to my dad, he went out into the field on our family property, and told God, who he has a strong faith in, that he didn’t want our genes to go on, that he did not want any biological grandchildren for the chance of struggle they could be born with. But, if he did have one, that he would know God had a plan for that child. Two weeks later I told him I was pregnant. Unexpectedly, out of wedlock, and while I’m not religious in the way my parents are, my mother took this hard. My dad, however, took it better than I expected. I’ll admit that a family history of mental illness has made me hyper vigilant of my son’s mental state as he has grown up, and that my dad has been a far more involved as a grandfather than he ever was as a father, but ‘please don’t come for me’ has been present as well as ‘please don’t come for him’ for both of us. Way too many words to say this song is fantastic lyrically and musically, and it hit home for me and my family. Brilliant. Thank you.

Then I took care of my father as Alzheimer's took him slowly, unraveling like a scarf until there was nothing left but fear and anger, mostly directed at the people who'd been closest to him. Now, all that's left of him is our memories of him. I try to hang on to the good memories but the bad ones were so horrible it's tough.

This song hits close to home. Not only do I have a mental illness, so did my son. On 2/13 this month, he took his own life. He had autism. High functioning. He had also been dealing with depression for a great deal of his life. He just turned 26, in November. He had been receiving mental health care, and was in the middle of coming up with a diagnosis. Possible bipolar. He also struggled with dementia, due to that mental illness. For the past few weeks he seemed to be doing better. On the morning of the 13th, he had a mental health follow up appointment. He'd gotten up, with me, as usual to go. I saw him twice. In his room and coming out of the bathroom. A few short minutes later, my husband and I heard a popping sound from the kitchen and the living room. We ran to Eric. Needless to say, he didn't make it. He'd always said he wouldn't make it to 40. And for many years, he hated life and has a death wish. Clearly, he just couldn't take anymore. Dealing with so many disabilities. I also believe he had PTSD. Again, he seemed to be doing better. Clearly, not. After he passed, we checked to see if he had been taking his mood stabilizer. He had not. But, he was taking Prozac. It's a known drug to cause suicidal thoughts. A lot of things contributed to why I believe he did what he did. He was just supremely unhappy, felt overwhelmed and incapable. We miss him terribly. But, I believe he's finally at peace, after so many years of struggling.

So tragic to see her penmanship and expression struggle to come light in single sentence. Could see how long she was fighting to keep her capacities there. All the way down to just a hard to make out date to just a scratched line. Discovered the first day of her having to be in a care center. Couldn't stop reading and had to leave room.

Even if you feel mostly stable, people like you are an asset as they can help mentor younger individuals. I wish our society made enough room for everyone instead of traumatising the most interesting personalities

[@KinuGrove]

No idea how I found them but this is a what you tube is all about. Finding new music.

[@valeriamatznermusic]

if you'd like to hear new music I would love for you to listen to my music and let me know what you think kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmmZc3yMgsp3otk

[@deusdamnit]

I thought KZbin was that site where people watched videos that matched their interests and other people commented on them seeking likes or affirmation?

[@kpeecee]

I agree, i came here via Aurora

[@portcullis5622]

@@deusdamnit I use KZbin to find new music, but there is a lot of truth in what you say. . . .but I am not going to give you a 'like'!

[@myglaren]

@Kinu Grove Indeed, I have lost track of how much wonderful music I have found on KZbin. Despite the popular misconception I am convinced that it is to musician''s advantage, at least in my case as it has prompted me to buy their CDs & DVDs and attend concerts where possible.

[@tedliguz2207]

this song brought me to tears, reminding me how lucky I am, when so many are not... I am 74, live alone, and thankfully depression, at this stage, is my only mental disorder...

[@chillieice]

I'm so glad these girls is getting the recognition they deserve. Always loved this performance and I'm happy it's getting this many views.

[@simonmatthews9771]

The slide playing in this is stunning. What a song.

[@MegF142857]

Saw my father lose himself physically and mentally from Parkinson's. Dementia and delusions, plus shaking and weak. My brilliant strong father... slowly disappearing... till he was gone. I still remember kissing him that last time when he didn't even recognize me anymore to say goodbye. Song brought tears.

[@freelife1121]

@WookDizz18 much love to you 💐💐💐

[@TxEngine]

Going through the same thing now with my Father in Law who was a Dad to me when mine didn't want anything to do with me. Not gonna be a good day when he passes, for any of us.

[@Shilo2020]

What voices and harmony! Such a haunting song about your grandfather. 😢

[@shovelhead81]

Their performance and the enriching sounds of their instrument's and mostly what the song is about should really be the Music Award for song of the year , performance, and Title . Got me hypnotized. Gotta hear it ever so often. Great Band !

[@robertbarrett6267]

The lyics are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! These 2 girls are geniuses in their own right.

[@StevenChisham]

I have been diagnosed with various things, including a form of schizophrenia. I wrote a short rhyme about it once, what you said reminded me of it. "Slip, slip, slipping away, I am so afraid I've lost my way Jumbled and scattered My thoughts never mattered Some day I hope they may."

[@annesofiedal8783]

Steven Chisham Damn... I love that poem to be honest. I ain’t very long, but it hits

[@canisduloup]

That's true. I'm loving it too

[@benedictsmithson4123]

Steven Chisham - thats beautiful. It resonates so well with feelings I share, You have some great words there!

[@realdeal7074]

Which form?

[@redrock1963]

Thank you bro.

[@llvlleeks]

They had the groove REALLY dialed in on this one. One of my all-time favorites.

[@p.k.howlett4442]

I find myself coming back to this song year after year. This version specifically. Just want to thank you for being able to put words and emotions so eloquently. I just scream and yell and nobody listens because it’s not pretty.

[@dustyrhodes8077]

Me too it's the perfect combination of musicians

[@gaylethorn7692]

Dropped in by accident. Will be staying for awhile.

Nice to be able to talk get it out of your system and try to be positive I know it's not easy I suffer myself

This song is so AWESOME... love it and can't hear it enough. Thank you...

[@user-uj3kq3wr2v]

Every mind is beautiful. This is a good start at a new beginning.

[@anapage3404]

I have lost count of how many times I've watched this. Absolutely floored...aside from the fact that the lyrics and arrangement are phenomenal, when Rebecca starts at 5:15 I sat there like a total muppet with my eyes wide and jaw on the desk in absolute awe. That voice. Just...wow. And Megan on the steel and harmony, completely spellbound. Love everything about this. Everything. Larkin Poe are my new favourites. Excuse me while I go and devour every bit of content on them I can find.

[@pulaski1]

I think the location is fitting for the song too, and I am sad that, AFAIK the performance venue is lost, and in fact was already closed before I even discovered it existed. I would have loved to have been at this show, and to see other performers there; it is only about 15 miles from where my mother lives.

[@WantMoreSushi]

This song really gets to me. My mother has paranoid schizophrenia and some days are worse than others. I always had this subconcious fear of being also predisposed after my mom found out that her Grandfather she's never met also suffered from schizophrenia. Everytime she tells me about the things she's experiencing it sounds to me like there's a war going on inside her head. She tries to fight against something(manifests often as an omnipresent voice) that tells her that she is not loved and that she has no place here. So let me leave this here: You are loved! You belong! Let people be there for you

[@jesipohl6717]

please look into everything on "the hearing voices movement" it could change your life and help you prevent the worst in the long-term. it's free, so that's probably why you don't know about it. I also recommend Madinamerica or madintheuk.

[@garytorresani8846]

I haven’t been this amazed since the first time I heard Nightwish. As a therapist, I’ve worked with people with mental illnesses. This describes it very well

[@douglashurrell6188]

Thank you KZbin for me finding Larkin Poe. They do some greats.

[@alexandremarco5442]

I'm in love with this song and this version of it, the instrumentals are so good and the vocals just amazing! Love wen she stops playing the mandolin and goes of to her own little world and unleashes those killer vocals gives me goose bumps every time. This has been a must on my play list for years now absolutely brilliant these girls

[@suzannemcneal7320]

Beautiful ladies. It's been my honor to have cared for the elderly, the demented and insane for almost 40 years as a nurse and your song did every one of them empathetic justice. If I were still teaching CNAs I'd want to use the lyrics to open a window so they could really see. Thank you.

[@aryfrenkiel7055]

Suzanne, listen to twenty one pilots, the singer/ songwriter, composer sings about this and connects with fans globally, helping so many kids to stay alive l-/

[@suzannemcneal7320]

nine twenty one pilots is one of my partners favorites. He positively adores them! I very much feel Heathens is in that vein.

[@jessicabird5189]

I can't believe I am just seeing this for the first time. What a wonderful song and performance! I wrote a short story inspired by my grandpa's dementia too - I called it Once Upon a Mad Hatter's Day Off! I was thinking about how the Hatter behaved and the mercury poisoning side effects and what it must be like for him alone after the tea party...

[@SalvaROCK]

Brilliant band, a lovely performance, thanks for existing!!!
