I wish our society had a better look on mental health support. Depression is a disease as surely as menangitis is, but while a person would be condemned as an idiot for not seeking help for menangitis, getting help from a therapist for depression is considered 'weak' or 'for crazy people'.
I ended up going to therapy because he wouldn't. At least I know now it isn't my fault if he kills himself... but God do I wish he'd try to get help too... Life isn't for going it alone.
OMG sorry you are soo right I was switching it with "Angel Face," from "Righteous Love." (which I was listening to right before I saw this post). Ha ha for a fan of hers I sure feel silly for that mix-up. Thanks vonjur!!!
This is actually from her "Righteous Love," album. This song is awesome as is all of her stuff. She is one of my favorites among: Bjork, Alanis Morissette, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Florence and the Machine.
Absolutely my FAV!!!!! Singing 2 my soul....Telling my life..... Want 2 know me...???....LISTEN!!! ~~M`~~
Some1 PLZ put this vid on my wall...I haven't learned yet how ya'll get those lil' vids on ur wall...not sure I'm asking/wording this correctly.... Any1...???
This is what my 'depression' bouts 'sound/feel/describes' 2/4/@/of me~~~~~~~ Know me???? LISTEN!!!! Can u hear me silently screaming ????
Bless this song...it helped me through many a dark moment For me this was jewel of the Relish release. Someone had lived with a person in this experience to truly know how this affects people...depression most often does not fall on just one person...I learned the hard way, and so did my beautiful wife that literally saved us.
@hughbo52 I have walked that road. This insidious illness crashed in on me about 7 mo. after the death of my 40 yr old, healthy and much loved husband. I never knew I could hurt so badly and still be alive. And it wasn't just grief. It was much more. It's impossible to explain the pain of severe depression and all that goes along with it. It is brutal. I would rather have a physical illness as people are more understanding of something they can "see". This song has pretty good insight.
@Msdistarr my dear, you know my heart goes out to you. Sadly, it becomes a physical ailment as well...that's usually when they "see" and you hear, "When times get tough, the tough get going..." That's when you want to say "Well, toughie, please go, leave me the hell alone and on your way out take my hell with you and call me back in a day or two" Coming across this song let me know that some can "see" and when you find one it, for a time, eases the anquish. No easy answers, just company.
@hughbo52 Thanks. It does a soul good to know there is company out there. It would be great if people stopped thinking that Severe Depression is like "hitting a bump in the road" or having a "tough time of it" and my favorite is "suicide is a selfish act done by cowards". It would be nice if folks actually did some reading about this illness before making such statements. It's a huge, almost never ending mountain we have to climb. If they only knew how tough we really are. We're still here.
@Msdistarr suicide is a selfish act done by cowards....and trust me, I'm climbing that huge almost never ending mountain too. Like you said, you're still here, that means you're not a coward. I understand suicidal thoughts, I have em, sometimes on a daily basis, but I also have never acted on it because that's a cowards way out. It's not a bump in the road, it's actually similar to addiction. Our brains don't know how to function without depression, it seems natural to us but it's a disease. 1
@Msdistarr but I agree with everything else you said though, don't get me wrong, I can relate just wanted to say that for the benefit of whoever might read it and be contemplating suicide...it's not the person that dies that suffers, it's the people they leave behind, they may think they're escaping, maybe they are but really they're just being selfish and not thinking of the impact it will have on the lives of people that are close to them or care about them. That's the point I wanted to make.
@DaProlifik1reaLyrics I am in no way suggesting to anyone that suicide is the way to go but you have to agree that the brain (a human organ just like a heart or a liver), of a depressed person is sick and not functioning properly. This is the organ that controls all thoughts and actions. Sick brains make for irrational thoughts and actions. So how can you ask an irrational person to think rationally? It's not fair to judge the actions of that person under those conditions.
@Msdistarr I know, that's why I said I relate and I agree with everything else you said.....like I said, sometimes I contemplate suicide on a daily basis, but I can't do it even though it'd be easier for previously stated reasons. But I've said the exact same things you said many times, the whole thing, so I def understand where you coming from. Just wanted to put that thought out there for anybody that might be seriously contemplating it, including myself. Wasn't meant as criticism towards you.
@DaProlifik1reaLyrics I know you aren't criticizing and not to beat a dead horse here but I guess the point of my last comment was how can you call someone with depression, who attempts/commits suicide, a coward. That would be an unfair judgement considering the condition of the persons reasoning and rational thought capabilities. I don't think you can call them cowards or that it's a selfish act due to the reason mentioned above. CONTINUED
@DaProlifik1reaLyrics Now if it were someone who was simply feeling blue and wasn't happy with where they were in life and to lazy to work on it, then I would agree with that judgement. I have been down the suicide road more than once. I never told anyone I was going to do it. I would go on autopilot. No thinking about it, no hesitation. It's just what had to be. It's almost an out of body experience. I'm not crazy and I'm no coward. I work hard at healing but your brain can take you over.
this song has made me cry everytime i listen to it since it was 1st released. It cuts right to the core of a nervous breakdown and the struggle to stay alive and well from 20 years ago.
Singin' my life is right. I am just this close to killing myself whenever I seek out this one to listen to....
