Symptom Of Being Human - Shinedown (Veteran Reaction)

[@Shadele1969]

Sheila here…. I cannot thank you enough for doing this song…. I just got home from the hospital today and saw this, there are no words to describe how much this means to me. You are a very special person my friend ❤

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

I’m glad to see this found you well. I really hope the surgery went good for you!

[@tamaramaddox4756]

This is so true for so many.... Sadly 😥 But I absolutely cherish my friend sheila Adele..my shadele❤️

[@Shadele1969]

I love you tamara…. Thank you for listening to this ❤❤❤❤ tell alvis I love him too 😂❤

[@hopetunstall7328]

You sir are a very special person... You will never know what you doing this for Sheila, meant to her and to me.. Sheila and I have been best friends since we met in the sixth grade and have walked such similar paths in life we have truly become sisters in spirit and know we were somehow always destined to be in each others lives.. When Sheila and I reconnected after at least 15 years apart less than a year ago after the tragic death of her precious son Mason I remember texting her to please not shut me out because I had a feeling God was putting us back in each other's lives because he knew we were going to need each other more than we ever had before and little did I know at the time just how very true that was going to turn out to be and probably more than either of us thought it would be...I love you Sheila.. and thank you for being my friend by chance but most of all "Thank you" especially after losing my last remaining sibling suddenly last Thursday for now being my sister by choice!!!!❤️❤️

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

As a veteran that has PTSD, I fully understand how some of the smallest things can make some of the biggest impacts in our lives. It was an absolute pleasure to do this for her. Thank you for the kind words. And both of you keep up the communication. Friends are important.

[@Sherbear60]

I loved watching this and your reaction!! I hope your friend enjoyed it as well! I'm so thankful for Shinedown bringing us so many songs with these messages regarding mental health! I actually got turned on to this band about 15+ yrs ago by my son. He sadly chose to leave this world 7 years ago,,,but between my faith in God and Shinedown songs,,,I can make it...and hopefully help someone out along the way!! Peace and blessings!!!

[@jenniferclark8051]

Being a certified resident of the Island of Misfit Toys, Shinedown always speaks to me! Thank for this reaction ❤

[@TananJess]

I've been a part of the misfits crowd myself for the majority of my life, just because some of us are off a bit doesn't mean that we're not good people and try to do good by others...even if the approach is unorthodox, the intent is in the right place even when the broken people are ones with so little to offer except for genuine understanding of what a person can be going through.

[@chefnurse77]

I got to see them in Denver in October and I cried during that song. My husband is a veteran. Thank you for what you do!

[@dentonMcFarlin]

thanks my good man. im just like you thanks for putting your self out there.

[@spedwyrm7427]

Shinedown gets overlooked ny many because they've been around for 20 years singing about mental health and the human condition. Hits for them when a person's circumstances align, then fades out agsin.

[@Terri6868]

Shinedown is my favorite band. I got tickets to see them in April.

[@tonibarratt8663]

They (shinedown) have survived many things that we can only imagine. When you come back from the ledge you realize it's about empowering others & I've loved them for it!! They've gotten me thru most of my own personal growth ❤❤❤

[@jaketuckey]

I'm 50 now but as a child at 9 yrs old I was sexually abused for numerous years and never told anyone. The "Unpack all your baggage, Hide it in the attic, where you hope it disappears" is exactly what I did. 5 years ago I unpacked it after it never disappeared and have had a mess on my hands since. This is that one song that hits me so hard!!! Thanks for the vid! 👍

[@chachaj914]

💕Similar situation. It's hard. We were just kids what the hell did we know. How do you even begin to describe to people what's happening to you? As you get older, if you're lucky you can hide it away and it doesn't rule your life, just those super dark times that hopefully only come around once in a while. I don't know what kind made you "unpack" it but I pray that you have support. Even if it's just one good friend who will listen, hold you when it overwhelms you, let's you be "broken" and just loves you. If it helps, there's another survivor out here praying for you, knowing that you can make it through.

[@jerseygirllori9837]

This song is a powerful visual representation to the saying: "Be kind. You never know what someone's going through." Get well quickly, Sheila!

[@DevDarkfall]

Fantastic reaction sir. Thank you for your service. You are a beautiful soul, who's willing to leave the world better than he found it. You are an inspiration. Keep doing you man. It's all just a symptom of being human❤️🙏

[@phantommouse7506]

I've been diagnosed with Bi Polar, and have other non-diagnosed issues. This song always reminds me that despite my issues it's still ok to be me.

[@adamtowle1282]

Love what do brother. Much love to Sheila. Get well. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@therealbrandonhall]

Subscribed! Thank you for your service man. Sending love!

[@LJ-yz4ob]

I remember giving help and getting help in line at a store. I can’t tell you how your anxieties rise in a check out line. I’ve been I both positions. It’s about giving and taking. Some people can be horrible. They will have to meet their maker someday. I try to give.

[@FrancisBridles-ko8ne]

I feel the same way but I have friends but I feel so lonely and disconcerting from everything and it’s fucking hard but when I started getting closer to god I realized that it doesn’t matter if I have friends because you are never alone with god. I try to be there for everyone but they are never there for me.

[@francisbennett5965]

Dude I was in the Army but never deployed. My 22 yo son is a Marine who is getting due to PTSD from seeing 3 suicides. He doesn't feel he should have it since he has never been deployed. He feels he is uitting on his country, the Corps etc. He's only 22. I feel for you guys. Thank you for this video.

[@LJ-yz4ob]

Just seen Shinedown in concert! They are a wonderful band and speak to a lot of people. That part in the video where the woman helps pay at the checkout line is powerful. We have all been in that situation. I’ve had it done for me and I’ve helped other people. It’s about paying it forward and being kind to people. Thanks for this reaction.

[@TananJess]

🙏 thank you, you're absolutely 💯 right with that paying it forward because we know at the end of the day we atleast can look at ourselves in the mirror for being decent human beings.

[@seanuber1624]

Loved your reaction Brother. Well done!

[@wayneeddington7459]

Hey brother, you are doiing great work, give yourself some credit and keep up the good work, you are awesome, just like this song!

[@jasonscherer2631]

When you said the statement about not being the one that people call typically, I felt that a ton. I just moved away from family as I needed to move before the rest of the family and it is rough being out and away from them.

[@jayr7471]

You sir are a kind soul. As an Army veteran myself and a current police officer, I couldn’t appreciate you more.

[@jasonramey3060]

I'm glad I found your channel. I'm broken I need to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I always feel worthless regardless of what I'm told.

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

You got this!

[@mack98ification]

I'm 5 minutes in (I love Shinedown & have seen them more than a dozen times live...) but I can relate to being the last one called or not at all-from my childhood. I had friends but I wasn't that best friend. As an adult its different and I have good friends and I am called, so no one could ever understand that I could relate to being that person. Honestly it was you saying this that made me realize why no one gets it and maybe why even though I have my people now-it wasn't always easy for me to recognize why I can relate to not having them. Sorry for the ramble but thank you for helping me make sense of my feelings.

[@LabH2ODawg]

“There is a vast difference between knowing a lot of people and having friends.” 😢 Dude… that is such a beautiful, wonderful, and true statement. ✌🏼👍🏼👍🏼 3:29

[@TananJess]

That's exactly why some of my favorite lyrics are "alot of people know me but not alot know me well, I hold my issues up for all to see like show and tell... alot of people know me, but they don't know me well".

[@TrashPanda5150]

Bro, I hope you're good right now. The things I hear from you tell me that you're in a tough personal place right now. I want you to know that I care about you and I hope you get what you need in life.

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

I really appreciate that man!!!

[@johnwscholl1652]

SO SO SO TRUE.firefighter/paramedic PTSD diagnosed.Feel you my friend.

[@maryhelenbuchele7342]

Sheila hope surgery went well.I love Shinedown met them multiple times and got pics with Barry and Brent at their tour bus. Just great sweet guys. They went to Iraq during the war and played for the troops and hung out with them. I had a lot of veterans in my family so I really respected them. The video is on Vemo and KZbin Shinedown Iraq 2006. The band had 2 different members. Thank you for your service!!

[@GR8K8]

Right?? Always be kind! It's so underrated but so much more important. You NEVER know with whom your path is crossing; music, these comments, reactions to music etc etc. I imagine myself on the worst days in my life; SO, treat the seemingly biggest ARSE in ur daily encounters like I would've wanted to be treated. That concept serves humanity at large. I'm not a vet but I have massive PTSD. Dealing my my eldest sons diagnosis, my ex husband almost killing me in a psychotic break, then my youngest son dying at 2&1/2 years. Hard, but doable. Still, ppl being kind and myself being kind, putting that in energetically MATTERS!!

[@rainerader1182]

I’ve always been the person called when someone is in trouble, their heart is broken, they feel lost. I didn’t even know it mattered until someone told me how much it mattered. I’m still that person twenty years later. I was lost once and someone helped me

[@stevenpryce7808]

I've helped people all my life,still waiting for someone to help me

[@nreising2722]

We all r emotional about this song! Shinedown on all of us❤

[@jojodelgado5244]

😢thank you💐👏❤️ this is what i tell to my self everytime I'm in the room that feel that I don't belong. In my mind, i always say " It's ok because you are just being human that's why you cannot accept me" we all are have flaws..I'm so sorry.💐🕊️ 😢

[@rocketrynerd]

I loved your reaction to this. Please do a reaction to Creatures in Heaven by Glass Animals. I think it’s up your alley. ❤

[@wesleycolvin7158]

A great song gets people talking about important subjects. Shinedown has a LOT of great songs.

[@midpathblu]

They have a lot of good songs

[@elyssakerlin7027]

Thanks!

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

You’re welcome! And thank you!

[@karebear7830]

Great selection and review! Be careful helping everyone that you don't take care of yourself...God slowed me down with a traumatic brain injury. Prayers to all especially Sheila ❣️

[@Shadele1969]

Thank you so much ❤

[@halverdha1]

I came across this song from a fucking TikTok add and then I had to use my phone for Siri to figure out who it was in the name of the song and I haven’t looked back. I love this song I listen to it frequently several times a day it means a lot to me it’s relatable. It’s a lot it’s a lot and they’re gonna be performing at the fair or I live the red River Valley fair Gerald performers and night before and then try and down.

[@angiev9965]

Shinedown had been my favorite since the beginning. They are the best out there. Also, thank you sir, for your service. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅

[@meld2584]

Very sweet & touching. Shinedown 🏝💜

[@carolinedentremont2136]

Here’s. To past loved ones. God. Is with. Everyone

[@1StackMack]

3:05 to 4:05. You nailed it brother. Thanks for your service. 12B combat engineer

[@jacobhicks9673]

this is a song is about Mental Health Awareness! Shinedown has been my favorite group since 2002 cz right now im going through some very deep shit and its not getting better there song 45 is going to be me eventually.

[@justinmoon3001]

Hey man I hope that everything gets better for you soon. Have you seen their live version of 45 from Kansas City? At the very beginning he talks about the meaning of the song and has a story about it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5yldKKpp915a7M Know that you are loved and cared about and that it'll get better.

[@Inuyasha619]

song about anxiety and depression I love it.

[@firefighterchick]

Good vibes going out to Shelia!! I was raised to help out and never look down on others. Always take care of yourself though. You can't help others if you don't care of yourself. I'm that person that is a sounding board for others. I'm also highly empathetic so it's a hard balance between being their for others and not overwhelming myself. It's great that you want to help out your fellow veterans and first responders. I hope your new group continues to be successful.

[@brian320100]

I am always had an awkward sense of humor that no one gets. So I always felt left out.

[@KAMUI138]

If you can't find the light in the world, go out and make it so that somebody else can.

[@nreising2722]

Thank you for your service sir and your compassion 4 others...new sub here!❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Scaredycat55]

God Bless you Sheila, pray that your surgery is successful

[@jessiemay5040]

This song crushed me. Ive had anxiety since i was 7 and I have never felt ok..or "normal" ..like I have always been different...I was always weird...so this really spoke to me. Especially how the house is burning and the walls are melting ...its how I felt...Thank you for the great reaction.

[@spedwyrm7427]

I'm an old, grizzled 13B. Love your reactions as always, that entire synchronized, desynchronized thing went around people or places. How effective out of sight out of mind can be for so many people that end up just remembering you exist but not thinking about it, it hits home a little harder than it should some days.

[@lockandloadshari]

I've listened to Shinedown for years and years and their music always hits me, the lyrics, the music...they're just a class act and so talented. Since you mentioned you love a good guitar you need to give the song Hi Ren a listen, this young man Ren is remarkable on the guitar. I subbed for Tom reactions but I'm finding that I'm watching so much more on your channel.

[@karriegooding9234]

I just found you via a FB post of your review on “Daylight”. My husband is a combat veteran and hearing your reviews really resonate with both of us and our other veteran friends. Keep up the excellent work you do here. You are NOT alone! 💕

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

Nice wasn’t aware my post was reaching out on Facebook. Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@wruley]

First things first, I hope Sheila is recovering well. Second, from one vet to another, thank you for your service and I hope you are doing great. Your reaction to this song falls 100% in line with my feelings on it. Shinedown has been one of my favorite bands for a long time, and I have seen them at least a dozen times. Their songs are deep and do a great job of identifying struggles many of us deal with. Great video. Peace and health!

[@austinmorton9759]

This song is so beautiful and uplifting. I'm the weird and awkward one in my group of friends and there's days where I feel like I don't belong and fit in because of that.

[@TananJess]

I was always the guy thats been there when someone needed somebody to help an ear to listen to them or give them some kind of encouragement and throw them a rope to pull them out of that hole, but not one of my friends or any of my family or co worker's had any idea what kind of hell I was inside of my own head!, between music, writing and a handful that stuck by me after I got hurt at work lost my job got depressed and fell back into addiction after being 11yrs clean, they've been there even when they didn't fully understand what head space I was in.

[@3.14mp]

Thank you for taking the time to do this for Sheila. She is a incredible person and I am proud of her for being so strong. No one would ever believe how I met her but I am blessed to have her in my life. She appreciated this and I will have love for you for having done this for her. Whoop whoop! Mmfclmf!

[@Shadele1969]

Hey Charlie…October is our 10 year friendaversary by the way

[@tammywaers-nl3rd]

You and my brother could be clones . You both feel the same and I try to help but he is so drawn into himself. Thank you and I will be sharing this with him when he gets home

[@meld2584]

Mine has been pretty selfish and unfortunately narcissistic and just plain mean and ridiculous. So I understand , it’s just sad. We all have our issues but being evil should never be. God bless!

[@ZacJenkins-fg3ex]

Something you cant understand in highschool but who are those cats you can call at 130 am that when your stuck on the side of the road will get up get dressed and head OM to your location seems im always that call but no one is ever on the end of the call when thats me so i stop calling talking and just feeding it all to my demons cause i can get them back whe. I get there

[@anthonybrownlee1457]

vet to vet good choice ty

[@stevenpryce7808]

Love how the video shows how we're all reading the same book,but each book has a different cover🤔

[@antonhromadka9079]

Do Daylight by Shinedown, don't get me wrong, this is a very good song but Daylight is more powerful, IMHO. They have a lot of great songs. If you get the chance, see them live! And IF you are in WI or N IL, I will go with you!

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

Here you are my friend. Veteran Reacts to Daylight by Shinedown kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap-uZaGffN59nrs

[@calebgilmer5250]

Want a rabbit hole. Shinedown song 45.

[@Terri6868]

Also Sound of Madness, Daylight, Dead 💀 Don’t Die it’s new. ❤️❤️❤️

[@sheilawilley4655]

This is a really strange coincidence since my name is Sheila also and I have had 4 spinal fusions from a work accident and I just happen to love Shinedown, Brent and this song especially. I do hope your back heals well Sheilagoss96 and there is hope. I was a weight lifter and my back is almost as strong as it used to be but gyms are freaked out by me and tend to not want me to use their facilities anymore which sucks. But now we will enjoy this song together as I hope you heal as well as I did.

[@Shadele1969]

Much love sheila ❤

[@Terri6868]

Suggest The Dead ☠️ Don’t Die by Shinedown, very hard rock it’s a new video. It’s a take on action heroes. I have tickets to see them on April 4th. They put on a good show. 💯🔥

[@kellybroemsen1174]

Your welcome

[@karlbecker8775]

You are a good man.

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

Thank you sir!

[@stevecn70]

You have been that person, you just didn't see it, took me a while to see it too. I felt like the outcast for so long, but over time, I noticed, once the BS went away, the friends call on you.. takes everyone time though,

[@TananJess]

If you would start reacting to some five finger death punch, their phenomenal with what they do for our veterans and again thank you brother not just for your service here but also for your service to our country.

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

Thank you for your support! Have you seen any of the ones I have done by FFDP?

[@leseverett1898]

[@ZacJenkins-fg3ex]

😢😢😢

[@suefantastic4584]

I'd call you.. a lot. xo

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

i appreciate that

[@Scaredycat55]

The room could be in your own home and that is my problem

[@geoffkn17]

Bro I love your reaction but get more sober for the review. I definitely have my issues. I can't put down the bottle ever it seems.

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

Only problem I’m gonna have with your request is that I don’t drink my guy.
