A song that I like much, extracted of the new album of Evanescence, The Open Door.

She nailed the feelings of having a mental illness. And she did it in a beautiful, powerful and extremely honest way. She's torn between the side effects of Lithium and how it alters the personality. She is telling us about her inner conflict. She doesn't want to go back on Lithium because of the side effects, which will make her emotionally numb. If she doesn't take them, she will slide back into that dark and painful place within herself "Here in the darkness I know myself". People who have suffered from Bipolar/Depression for an extended length of time, know how easy it is to slip back into that dark place inside ourselves. It almost becomes our safe place because it becomes the only place we know. When we can't cope or become overwhelmed, we isolate ourselves in that place. She wants out of the prison she now resides in within herself but she knows if she goes back on Lithium, she will become emotionally numb. A place of nothingness and as she see's it. Living in sorrow is better than existing in a state of no emotion. If you have never walked in the shoes of this illness, it will be nearly impossible to understand the difficulty of trying to pull yourself out of it. The illness is a brutal beast that sucks the life out of you and at the same time, you have to work extremely hard to help yourself change the way you think about everything. There is no aspirin for this. So many people lose the battle because they have fought it so hard for so long and lived in the despair and pain that they have lost all sight of hope and they begin to think that this is how they will live the rest of their lives. An unbearable thought. And generally if you announce any intention of harming yourself, more often than not, you won't. It's the people who keep it to themselves, the quiet ones, that are in the most danger of dying. If you want to die, why would you tell anyone that you're going to do it? It kind of defeats the purpose. And it's not the person killing themselves. It's the illness that kills them. The only difference is that it uses a person's own hand to do it. People are under the assumption that an irrational person can make rational decisions. As for those who say it's a cowards way out or look at what you are doing to those you left behind, I would tell you that you should try living with this for 10 or 15 years and see if you feel the same way. As for the families that are left behind, I think most of the people with Bi-Polar or severe Depression, honestly feel their families would be better off without them. They carry around so much guilt for their illness and they feel like a burden to family and friends. Sorry bout the lengthy comment, but I have very strong opinions and passion on this subject. People with any type of mental or emotional illness are made to feel embarrassed or ashamed and a good many of them don't get the care they desperately need. It's tragic.

Bourne Supremacy It's what they add to the natural drug that's frightening. To obtain the medicinal results the doctors want, it causes a high risk of toxicity in the blood stream. I do know that they have decreased the usage of this "drug" due to the high risk of toxicity. There seems to be a side affect with any medicine we are given. The question is......is it worth the risk and will you be the one who ends up with the unwanted side affect?

MissDistarr you hit every head on the nails. Living with Bi-Polar and severe depression is the worst thing in the world. There are days I feel such darkness and pain. I have been blessed with my wonderful family and friends but I try to explain to them they can't help pull me from the darkness. I feel over drugged and it doesn't even help me through my blackest days. My cousin killed herself at 40 yr old because she just could not live in the darkness anymore. She wasn't a coward she just didn't want her husband and children to be stuck in her darkness. By killing herself she said they were released from her darkness and she wants them to find happiness with another wife/mother. She cared more about them than she did about herself. I miss her so much. When I feel like I am sliding into the depths of hell and want to check out I remember her. I have to be her voice now and try to help those like us. Sissy I will always remember you and be your voice. RIP

Amy Lee's music is timeless. .as a bipolar individual most of my life, I have an intense emotional connection with the lyrical content. Some may not understand, but this artist actually inspires hope through her seemingly sad songs. They are reality and a great outlet! Will forever be a supporter of her efforts n success in digging deep to express herself and touch others.
As someone who used to take anti-depressants and mood stabilizers, like lithium, for bi-polar disorder, this song hits home. The drug that's supposed to make you feel better, makes you feel worse, almost zombie like

Cole Chandler All I'm saying is even if Amy didn't write any lyrics, Ben wasn't the only one; David wrote them, too. Plus, I know for a fact that Amy wrote most if not all of Bring Me To Life, (lyrically): Reporter: How did that song come about to be written? Amy [Lee]: Ben [Moody] had the musical idea, with the programing, the guitars and everything. And then I just took it to my room, by myself, and wrote the lyrics and melodies and it all came out actually very, very easily, I was - I remember when I finished like the first, like I guess I wrote the whole first couple of verses all by themselves um, and I was just completely proud of my lyrics, I was like 'these are the best lyrics I have ever written' you know and I brought to Ben, I was so excited. But um, then we had a really big problem with the chorus, the chorus wouldn't come together. We wrote probably um five different chorus and recorded them, you know as demos." - Capital FM Radio Interview in 2003

Thank god I was never given Lithium for my bipolar disorder. They gave me lamictal, cymbalta, klonopin and zonegran ( i don't even think that is a fucking mood drug) . The Zanogram made me lose extreme amount of weight. While the Cymbalta cause me to be not hungry. The withdrawals from Cymbalta are horrible .. think of it this way you know the side effect of your bowels get when taking pain killers.. Imagine that in withdrawal form, but having to go to the hospital for help. Finally on the right meds. Still on lamictal and klonopin, but now have wellbutrin and it's worked for my depression. This song deals with that struggle to remain yourself , but getting better and fearing losing yourself, especially when your in the arts your mind thinks you need your sorrow in order to be good and that's not the case at all.

As a singer myself let me tell you that this is incredibly difficult to sing! Never have I been physically incapable of hitting any note. But when she hits that high, high note at the end, I can't do it, and 99.99999% of people probably can't. Amy Lee is the greatest rock singer of at least the decade, no doubt.

If you have never had depression you might not understand but I think this song is about that point you reach where that weight is all you have. where everything is so very heavy that depression becomes your addiction. it is all you have left

After hearing this song (and having it explained to me) I totally feel it. When I'm on my bipolar medicine it feels like I have no energy, I feel inferior to everyone else and I just feel down. When I'm off it I feel like I could conquer the world but I get angry easier and I don't listen very well. The decision of not being able to stop myself from hurting the feelings of those around me or sacrificing my personal happiness to prevent that is a tough one.

Now that I've really had time to think about it I really understand what she's saying. I spent the first 17 years, 8 months not knowing who I was until I started taking Lithium. It made me depressed to realize who I am because when I started taking it it enlightened me enough to see who I really am. Crazy as it sounds, I know. But then again... What really liberates us and delivers us is the fact that we cannot ever stop changing. Don't want to lock me up inside.

Terra Somarah No you aren't being rude, you can take lithium in tablet form and sometimes liquid form. You are correct, lithium is a mineral it was first discovered as a chemical element in 1817. By the mid-1800s, there was great interest in "urate imbalances", which were thought to explain a variety of diseases, including mania and depression. It is now mainly used to treat bipolar disorder.......
