Reading the comments on here is making me cry! Being a Swiftie is not about all the superficial crap the media talks about - its about THIS, right here - an incredible artist who articulates what we all feel, and a community that is able to support each other through the darkest moments, sharing something through her music!

“They told me all of my cages were mental, so I got wasted like all my potential.” From the moment I heard this song, 4 years ago June, it has made me cry. This is the story of my life. I walked before age 1, read and wrote by 3, wrote perfect cursive by first grade. I was an honors student. I was reading on a college level at 10… Then my bipolar disorder (undiagnosed and then wrongly diagnosed until 29), ruined everything. I suffer crippling panic attacks. I spend my days in depression and terror, my nights alternating between nightmares and insomnia. This is ON medication!!! I have let everyone down but my importantly, I have let myself down. Taylor seemed to have pulled this song from my diary, I thought, when I first heard it. I am so happy SOMEBODY realizes that some of us might be failing, but we are working our asses off trying not to.

The part where she talks about life after school is something I've been feeling for years & years. School was fine. I had friends. I was smart. I could do the work, because the work was laid out for me. The course was there, & I could rise to it. I won awards. I was voted Class Clown (in a fun way) of my final year. I got along with everyone. School was great for me, generally speaking. Afterwards, left to my own devices, I plummeted. But slowly. Everything crept up on me. Bad behaviours. Unhealthy choices. Addiction. Money. Life. etc etc. I just thought it would all happen for me. Like school did. That was how life worked I had presumed. That was what I was taught. Now I'm broke. Addicted. Lonely. Confused. Petrified beyond movement. I am sincerely not looking for the violins to play for me. To welcome sympathy & advice. I am well, well, well aware of how incremental steps forward can help me. 1% better tomorrow. All that good stuff. How slowly building an internal fortitude with small beginnings can sustain me for what life throws at me. But I can't lie & pretend I don't find each day an absolute behemoth of a mountain to climb. Just to take care of myself. It's sad. I know it's sad. I live in a perpetual state of sadness & disgust. Shame & guilt. But if I'm being honest, I've been worse than I am today. So i guess this is me trying. But I could try some more. Anywayyyyyyyyyysssss.... this interview & song are incredible. Really struck a cord with me.

As a neurogldivergent adult with two young children who are also neurodivergent, as well as being someone who has regular low periods of moderate depression, this song feels like I am so validated. It's hard trying to explain to people that me and my kids have a regular good day is actually so mentally exhausting and often tips me over the edge because it takes my all to achieve that. Some days I just want to give it all up because I feel like I can't do it anymore and I am too tired to keep going. I want people to know how hard I am trying to stay in this life and this song felt like that feeling is being acknowledged. Thank you Taylor ❤
