My husband is suffering from depression and anxiety. I have had to check him into the hospital twice, I can't leave him by himself, and I've gotten rid of our guns. He feels like he is getting better. We're in this marriage for better or worse, and in sickness and health. I won't ever walk away. There are days that I get resentful, but then I pray, and realize that he doesn't want to be this way. If he could wish it away he would be his old self. 😢

This is why Chris came up with and brought this story to the music video for this song. To not only bring awareness/shine a light on mental health/illness, but also put a spotlight on the loved ones who stick by their friends and family when they're struggling mentally. Hence the meaning of the song, like "fire away with whatever you have. It won't dissuade or push me away from loving you."

I’ve actually dealt with this to the point where, it has become tragically the norm. Wasn’t till re-watching this video, you realize how much energy, love, emotion… Everything That you put into caring about someone in this kind of situation. Which one is worse? For both parties, it seems like it’s so apparent that there is no great answer, but for the caring one, it is close to impossible to figure out the right thing to do to make things better. I hate that anybody has to deal with this.

This is why it is so important to check on your people. I mean like REALLY check in on yoyr people. Sometimes people suffer in silence and wont tell you something is wrong so you gotta watch for clues. The ones who are ALWAYS happy, are the ones who are most likely suffering the most. If you're hurting, reach out to someone...anyone. There are people who love you and who are willing to help. Hell, send me a message. I'll do whatever I can to help anyone. If nothing else, just know that you are loved and you are important. ❤

I used to deal with this with my daughter. She is bi-polar and swings from manic to deep depression sometimes all in one day. She tried to hang herself when she was 14. I still cant leave the house without thinking I will come home and see her hanging from our bannister on the 2nd level of the house. I wouldn't leave her alone for years. She will turn 21 this October and thank God, she found a good psychiatrist and an even better therapist and with the right medications, she is such a different person today. No more cutting, no more suicide attempts, just a beautiful young woman who can appreciate life now. Songs like this just hit home for anyone who has ever had to live this.

This song hits me so hard! I'm her. I've been there more times than I want to admit! Luck for me I ran into an old friend from school. I was back in town for my great grandmother's funeral and my 15 year high school reunion, my mom talked me in to going and me and my old friend spent the whole night talking. He went his way and I went back home. Went through some more crap and lost my mom. I was way far gone in a dark dark place and 2 months after losing my mom he called...12 years later with my husband and finally getting meds right, I luckily haven't gone to that dark side. Years ago I would have never been able to say that I'm bipolar manic depressive with suicidal tendency, now I'm just bipolar with manic episodes and no thoughts of suicide! Meds work, but having someone in your corner and being that support system makes it so much easier! Thank you for reacting to this song, it is a hard subject to tackle!!

She wasn't drinking, she was bi-polar, going from being happy go lucky to dark depression in the blink of an eye. There are a lot of videos of Chris performing but he doesn't do "music videos". His label kept pushing him to do one till he finally agreed but only under some conditions, one that he does not appear singing or performing, {he is in it as the bartender}, that he writes the song, and that he has say in picking the actors and in the direction of the video. The result is Fire Away. He wanted to focus attention on people with mental health issues and their loved ones who stick with them and try to make it better.

My bff is bipolar- and it took a major crisis at 26 to realize she needed serious help to get the swings under control... 5 years later she got pregnant for the first time and had to go off meds- it was harrowing, then she did it again exactly 2 years later. Amazing she got through it all, but her kids anchored her enough to hold on. Now, decades later, just missing ONE pill in the morning and by lunchtime whatever chemical imbalance was fighting to take control at that moment surges out and seizes her mind and emotions... be it hyper up or suicidal down. I have abandoned work or family to rush to her house and grab her meds to bring her the missed pill(s) even, because waiting might be catastrophic like this video... Nature is cruel, and sometimes humans are built broken in hidden ways. Modern life just allows them to live much longer than in the past and mask the problems better 😐 so you may well know someone suffering but on meds to keep it in check.

As someone who suffers with bipolar depression daily, I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you spoke your truth with this reaction. We DO need to do better as a society to help those who suffer from illnesses that we cannot see with our eyes. We need more LOVE IN THIS WORLD, AND LESS HATE! For those who suffer, I can't speak for anyone but myself but, I think our biggest fear is being forgotten by the people we love; the people who say "I got your back through whatever" and the sad realization that they don't. Our minds, our thoughts, our actions can be downright ugly as f*ck; then there's days we can be "high on life" and feeling invincible, then one small thought, one simple misunderstanding can catapult us into such a dark spot, that it feels impossible to get out of. Society as a whole needs to come together and step up our love and open our hearts. You never know what somebody is going through, so be kind with your words; who knows? Maybe a simple word/act of love and kindness can help improve someone's mood. LOVE the reaction Greg, thank you for doing this song. You should check out Matt Cannon - The Call.

She found me when i was at my worst and pulled me out of the depths of hell and she saved me and I tried so hard to save her but in the end I failed and for that ill never forgive myself. She was only 31 years old I went to work and when I came home I found her no phone call I had to make the calls. She made the world so much briter with her in it, the gods made a mistake they should have taken me not her so now It just leaves me waiting for my turn for tomorrow not to come for the chance to hold her again.

Greg, this was the first time watching your reactions and I must say this one was great. I am a mother with a son who has been diagnosed with PTSD, bi-polar with psychotic features, severe depression, Generalized Anxiety disorder and ADHD. What a combination. I noticed a change in him when he was 13, I got him counseling and we had family counseling as well. He was 15 the first time he cut his wrists and the first time he was placed in a psychiatric facility. He got involved with drugs and became an addict. Psychiatrist said he was self medicating. I can't tell you how many times I had to do a 302 on him or had to take him to talk criss at the hospital. When he was 21 he finally opened up and told me the worst news a mother never wants to hear. Between the ages of 8-12 he was being abused by a neighbor who was also the younth minister. Has always blamed himself but because of his bravery coming forward the perp is in jail serving a plea deal of 12-42 yrs. Once my son finally came forward it was discovered he wasn't the only child. My son has attempted suicide at least 8 times that I know about and has been placed between 10-15 times over the years. In his mid 20's he did put himself into a program and got himself clean and still does his best to stay that way. I can tell you that it is so hard watching someone you love so much to struggle that way. I worry about him so much. He doesn't have the closest relationship with his siblings because of everything that happened when we were living this nightmare when he was younger. It's hard trusting or mending those fences. They do know what happened and know what he suffers from but they still are distant from him. I have tried to make it clear to them that I am not going to be around forever and when I am gone that he's not going to handle it well and they are going to have to step up to the plate and look after him or they will lose him too. It's just not easy. He's 32 now but he still struggles. What I do hate the most is how people with mental health get treated. I would say that 99% of people never take the time to understand what the person is dealing with. Same as when someone is abusing drugs they don't take the time to try to figure out what's behind all of it. They just want to write them off as crazy or an addict. This world needs to wake up and realize ever action has a reaction. Just sometimes you need to figure out what the action was that caused the reaction. The answer may shock some people. My son could always draw and wanted to be a graphic designer but I have learned he will always be fighting this devil inside him and won't ever be able to keep a job due to the fact that some days he can't even get out of bed to other days he so hyped up he can think straight to days he can't control his anger. It is very draining on the ones who love him but I know I couldn't bear losing him.

@@barbaramelville6940 I am sorry you have to struggle with this. It is difficult to find someone who is understanding but I do hope you have someone strong you can rely on. If you have counseling please be open with them how you feel and stay strong. You have someone here now willing to listen and do my best to be someone you can talk to if you wish. I do wish you all the best no matter what.

@@cjturner370 Thank you so much. I do what I can. I have had to do things that I never thought I would ever have to do but the alternative wasn't something I could handle. I do hope you have someone you can open up to and I do hope you can find the strength to put the bottle down before it does damage to you. My son's father passed away from cirrhosis of the liver. It wasn't a pleasant site to watch let alone the pain he was in. So please find a way. You can always talk with me if you wish.

This song and video hits home. I went into a deep dark depression when my infant daughter died. I still fight those demons every day. It’s hard.

My son suffers with mental illness. As hard as it is for me to deal with it, it’s indescribable how it is for him. My fear is that his voices will tell him to harm himself. This song hits home for me.

Chris Stapleton is great. Ben Foster is the cop/husband in this video and he's an amazing actor. The girl is bipolar and committed suicide. Great song but truly sad. It's really a "who the hell is cutting onions in here" type of song. It hits you in the feels 100%. The bartender in the video is Chris Stapleton
