This is the most honest song about depression I’ve come across, maybe ever like no one ever sings about the ugly side of this disease. Not bathing? Check ins? Leaving chores undone? Guess no one else wants to know the gross truth. Keep on doing what you’re doing it’s far more important than you know 👍🏽

[@alexsheperd2060]

I’m drunk and angry and you won’t ever see this but god damn you wrote exactly how I’m feeling I’m so god damn tired of running in this wheel and being punched in the gut everytime I think I can slow down I don’t think I can explain how much this fits my headspace atm

[@fartingfury]

I'm a bit late discovering this song - for me, it's a sad and terrifying reminder of where I've been. But it sounds like you're still there. I hope you make it out, stranger. Keep fighting - it can be done!

[@HeSheXie]

This is a hell of a song. Amazing how so many people know this exact feeling. If you're stuck in the spiral, I hope you get through it. If you managed to get to the other side, I hope you're proud of how far you've come.

[@sarahk2115]

This song makes me want to scream-sing at the top of my lungs. I love the chorus so damn much.

Im 13 and it's been like this for so long everyone says it'll get better, but when I'm tired of waiting I'm tired and I need help but I don't know how to ask for help.

[@jordankohler7400]

@@The1AndOnlyCallistar hey, i'm 40. You've done an amazing thing by saying online you don't know how to ask for help. The next amazing thing you can do is say that same thing to someone irl.......seriously. i wish i had said that i didn't know wtf i was doing years ago. I only said it out loud a few years ago. Just tell someone you trust that you don't know how to ask for help n they can help you with that. Sounds fucked up but it just might work. Fuck if i know.....right?

[@burdenedwithgloriouspurpos851]

This was a while ago. How are you doing now love? I’ve been in that apathetic depression as well lately, but things have been looking up for me as I’ve reached out and others have reached out to me. Now I’m catching up with the mistakes of my past self… Everyday can be a struggle but I hope you will try to stay positive, remember that there is hope and always something to be grateful for. You are loved and have value just as you are. No matter how many imperfections you have you’re still beautiful 🥺 God’s love will always be there for you when no one else’s feels accessible. Sending love and care through the screen ~a stranger

[@alexalikesrocks]

You sang what so many of our hearts and minds go through.

[@entitledindustries9135]

the subtle word choice is empowering. it's not "i won't do better" it's "I CAN'T do better". because you know what? it's ok to not be ok. Sick of people treating it like it's some personal failing. it's not OUR fault the world is awful. we aren't what needs fixing. at least, that was my reading. amazing song, you've got a new fan!

[@incrediblelyaverageone5324]

This song hit a little too close to home for me and I love it. I just found this song randomly and it actually helped me realize I need to do better. I've had depression for about 4 years now and I keep bouncing back and forth between healing and getting worse. Every time I make progress I just spiral backwards and I'm trying so hard to fight it. This song just explains exactly what it's been like for the past 4 years and it's a catchy tune too! Also I didn't know this song was so new??? (Sorry for such a long comment)

[@briannapyle333]

It’s so hard thank you for making a song that makes me not feel alone

[@izzypain2551]

omg this describes what goes on in my head, every single day of my life .. Thank you for this

[@biscottistewart232]

I fell in love with this song as soon as she sang "They never show this shit in movies" because that's exactly what we need in this world and something that's been on my mind for so long. Like depression as a disease is so widespread and even so no one's talking about it or showing what's it's really fucking like for those that literally suffer in their own minds just stuck on the couch for days on end wondering if it will ever be better. Grasping that concept is so hard for most people and more often than not that it seems to bother them in a way I will never understand, it's like they get offended your not happy or see nothing to be happy about which just isnt the case. As humans trying to solve our problems is only natural. So is exhausting just about every solution to it especially when dealing with something so recurring and constant no matter what you do to make it "better"

[@dreamer4765]

I Love this Girl she’s freaking Amazing lmao So talented and definitely relatable. I feel you girl 2 years now... I thought 2020 was going to be my BEST year Ever ha ha ha too funny for words.. Definitely a Learning Experience I don’t wish to repeat..

[@andiethedragon]

Wow. I have never resonated so well with a song. This was me. Seeing this is like seeing my ghost. I finally did "better than this". And yet I've been so hard on myself lately. I finally fucking dug my way out of that hole and I am so proud of myself. To anyone reading this that is still digging, or haven't started digging yet because they don't have the energy, or to those that don't even have a shovel because you were never given a chance - you can do better than this. You are amazing, you are capable, you are loved, you are important. Let's do this together.
