Staind - Schizophrenic Conversations

[MadeSomeDinDin4U]

I have Bipolar Disorder... It's hard being in school with that AND paranoia floating right behind you. But luckily my roommate that I met on the first day is a psychology major and can deal with what I go through on a daily basis very well.. But dammit, I would LOVE for this annoying crap to come to a figgin END!!!

[jessicarh87]

Aaron stole my brain waves and came up with this song.. >_<

[PITOVIVE1]

pokemon :)

[ComplicatedQuestions]

when i was 18 i suffered with depression, and this song really brought me back to reality! it really emphasized the fact that maybe i do need counselling "maybe i could use a little help" thank you Staind for making me realise that there is another way other than suicide! from the heart*

[ComedianNicky]

my favorite song

[peumafe69]

As someone that suffers from schizo effective disorder, this song has always been an anthem for me. It's something I struggle with everyday, take medications for and am in and out of the hospital for. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy...

[Runawayboy47]

at the beginning i wasn't sure about their music. but now because of this song i think they're unbelievable! it's soo well made, the lyrics are great. it reminds me of a lot of the complicated people i've come accross in my life, all the one's i had to deal with and all the one's who changed me forever.

[TheTako400]

So come inside... My head with me... And I'll show you how it feels to be... Fucked up like me... I'll show you how it feels to be... To blame like me... Shame like me...........

[deadbutterfly15]

It's hard for people to understand what it's like to live with schizophrenia. It's feared by so many, but it's really not scary. Once you understand you have it...it's much easier to deal with. It's still hard though...to get those sudden break downs. And I'm still in HS and nobody understands...it's hard to be a "freak of nature"

[yoavsterster]

@deadbutterfly15 don't let it get you down... i know its hard, my friends cousin has it, it scares the fuck out of people. but sometimes people make it harder for themselves for no reason.im no schizophrenic, but still.

stay tough.

[deadbutterfly15]

@yoavsterster Thank you for the support (: I really appreciate it

[SuperViktorman]

@deadbutterfly15 i feel your pain, im in the same situation, its kinda like you have to hide it because its got such a bad repp

[deadbutterfly15]

@SuperViktorman I know...it's awful. You just never know who's really there. It got to the point where I went mute for a while because I was scarred that I was gonna talk to someone who isn't there and people would see.

[SuperViktorman]

@deadbutterfly15 im the same way in crowds, ive gotten used to just kind of talking generally to everyone around me without adressing anyone in particular because i dont want to answer a question that wasnt asked of me by any actual person (its happened before) but my friends all know and understand so they do a good job of steering me around and making sure im looking finee. stay tough thoo, its not easy but it doesnt have to be hard. my goal is to be so high functioning that its not noticedd

[deadbutterfly15]

@SuperViktorman Hmm...I've never tried not addressing specific people. I don't like having it, but at the same I don't want it to go away...y'know? I took meds one time and I didn't like how quiet everything got all of a sudden..it felt strange and foreign to me.

[dark14life]

@deadbutterfly15 I've pretty locked myself up inside my apartment for 5 years because when I do go out I have conversations with people and things that aren't there. It does scare people, but truth is I wouldn't harm a fly. I catch spiders in my apartment sometimes and I let them go outside. I wouldn't hurt another living thing unless they were threatening me or my loved ones. It would be nice if my friends were still around, but they abandoned me long ago...

[deadbutterfly15]

@dark14life I know what you mean. Thanks everybody, it really is nice knowing that there are other people out there like me. I've gotten pretty good at hiding it. If you were to hang out with me, you couldn't tell. The few friends I have will generally cover for me and stuff if I start randomly talking to a non existent person. My life goal is to get married eventually and have kids, but it's hard to find a person that will accept it and get that I won't hurt them. It's easy to feel alone.

[christiethom]

@deadbutterfly15 BiPolar Disorder is horrible...but your comment made me smile because there is hope. I have been happily married for almost 8 years and have a beautiful 6 yr old little girl. I met my husband by dumping my meds out in front of him and begging him to think about what he was getting into...me. He stuck by me and can't say i didn't warn him. There are those out there made to love us

[QuickThunder123]

@christiethom im 15 an i wanna tell your husband hes a top bloke, tell him that for me please,

keep strong you :)

[deathisapromise666]

I first listened to this song in the live version and i must say this isn't as good

[MuSzHrOom]

My aunt has bipolar disorder and their religion was expelled because the people of that religion was saying that my aunt had a demon just by his behavior! what makes me mad is that people do not suffer what they suffer from schizophrenic and bipolar people have so much shit in your head that you do not see their noses but I argue that people with mental disorders suffer a lot and is what many People do not understand

[Firemerlin86]

"One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. Passersby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way."

-Vincent van Gogh

I have schizophrenic conversations because there is no one else to talk to. The passersby continue on their way without a second thought and even those that stop and chat always ramble on and never listen. Alone in a crowded room, I am the best conversation that I can find.

[yoshluv7]

So Deep!!!

[jackiesmithWHAT]

About ten years ago, my mom got schizophrenia and was diagnosed with it many years after and since then I've been talking to her on the phone and I sometimes here her conversating with herself and then I snap her back into reality. I have been diagnosed with psychosis and am being treated for it.. This song just reminded me of my mom. Hopefully the more I snap her back, the more she'll realize that there is something wrong with her and she'll actually take her medicine.

[Amandaroo217]

through all the effed up times in my life, this song is the only i can think of to describe it.

[LaBellaa1984]

wauw great song why did i never heard of them before..

[fagri81]

u fucking liars..

[schenkifyed]

I have mild scizophrenia and this song helps me deal with it somewhat iv'e never told anyone i have it i just know i do and it makes me realize everything that is wrong with my life is because of this and i need to take care of it before its to late.

[UltimaSlacker]

@schenkifyed ...My cousin (late) had schizophrenia, although that wasn't the reason she is gone, but I'm sure it didn't help. This song reminds me of her. My tribute to her for failing to understand her "strangeness" and deal with it more maturely back then all those years ago. Please don't let your illness get the best of you -- learn to work with it.

[XforeikerX]

i feel like i can relate to this song more than anyone because my dad actually has schizophrenia. people dont understand him and think he is faking or look down on him like his condition is his fault. i think if they listened to this song they might could at least begin to understand him like i do.

[WhoFlungPoo15]

Staind is one of those amazing bands that have a song to appeal to most anyone. As a person who personally struggles with bi polar, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder, I can completely understand the emotions in this song. It also helps that bands like these are out there and plenty of people that try to understand and support me as best as they can.

[DJSTL33]

amazing song

[Domo4eva]

Amazing song..most of their songs are whatI feel sometimes..

[psychoclown420]

Why are there so few views on this song? it's the highest viewed one i could find...

[angustus5]

staind are thumbs up

[leonsam12]

i try to forget shit my ex has done, we have a good time together, then a voice inside reminds me of the shit that has happened and i ruin everything, be nice if i could shut it off, but not possible

[HeavyMetalGuns]

@leonsam12

The same goes for me. I kind of ruined it because her and I lived a hundred miles apart, and she was the most beautiful girl I met, so I kept worrying if she was cheating or not with another guy. I trusted her, then I didn't, then I did, etc. She broke up a couple days after valentines day and every time I hear this song, I think to myself why was I so paranoid/schizophrenic when it came to trusting her and if I just did, it wouldve worked out great.

[scoobyz11]

im still fuckin hearin these voices..u guys who help ur peeps evryday stay strong

[Tuddles656]

I understand what it's like to have depression and god knows what else, it's really hard, not many people do understand, it's good to know some people do

[ShaneBeacham]

Staind for life man! Aaron Lewis, you are immortal!

[Krivande]

OMG i could have written this song... i sometimes feel like giving up and just don't want to live anymore... but this song's so amazing and i must always cry when i hear it ... it gives me hope and confidence that everything will get better.... even if it doesn't seem so yet... i love this band and always will!

and sry for my bad english

[deathforavengeance]

wow, i luv how many people give credit to this band for helping them through the years, the band, the lyrics and the fans are all proof that the stereotype "this is devil's music, makes kids kill people" is a false statement... Music like Stainds' is like a remedy, a treatment for some kind of mental illness... Staind is a great band, they have also helped me realize a lot in my life, their music makes me think they know wat i go through and w/o a doubt i know they do :] Thank You so much

[123rummage]

When I was 2 my Dad was in a road accident, luckily he survived, but has been left disabled. Ever since he has suffered from sever depression and bipolar disorder. It's hard to understand what he's going through. People don't seem to understand him, only me, but I have to put up with constant insults and persistant anger towards every one. It's so hard for me, but I need to remember I'm doing it for him! This song has helped me realise what's really important.

[Shellegify]

@123rummage

You're doing an amazing thing that takes endless patience & strength... I can only imagine how hard it is. Stay strong!

[xxSiNc3r3]

@123rummage JUST KEEP HOLDING ON

[Tuddles656]

@123rummage I know what it's like, I suffer from depression and god knows what else, and I find it really hard, it's hard to find people who understand, it's good to know you do

[Tuddles656]

@123rummage I understand what it's like, I suffer from depression and god knows what else, it's really hard to find people that understand, it's good to see that you're trying to help your dad

[Mamalion730]

@123rummage, I am like your father..This song helps me understand myself. Please join NAMI it is an organization for the mentally ill and their loved ones.

I am Bi-Polar. It is hell. I wish it on no one. I pray for you and your dad.

[Rafinhaguitar]

@123rummage i know what youve been trough, about 4 years ago my dad discovered a terminal lung cancer, he was always like that since he was just living with the constant fear of death, its been 8 months now since hes passed away and i cant express with words how much i miss him, even tought we were constantly arguing, but now i understand him, he was just worried i could live by myself, and by now those argues altought numerous have been just meaningless compared of how much i miss him

[masmantour]

@123rummage

When I was 6 my dad was a diesel mechanic and was working on on of the trucks that transports multiple cars at once. The truck driver pulled a lever right when my dad touched the hydraulic leak. He lost his thumb and ended up losing his toe. it took him a really long time but he isn't angry and yelling all time now. Patience man and not giving up on him.

[MrT4tomo]

@123rummage i suffered with depression and attempted suicide, but with my familys support and help i am coming out of the other side, im sure your Dad appreciates and is thankful for everything your doing for him, stay strong, chin up, and smile, the world is short of people like you

[cindyericharley17]

@123rummage i know what youre going through when i was a year and a half old my dad died in a car crash. keep hangin in there

[DonnyKoe]

@123rummage It's people like you that make me want to make the best of my life everyday! I respect you greatly for the amount of strength you have to keep that up, for it is never easy to hold on so strongly when someone is so close to you.

You have my greatest, deepest respect. I wish you have a life as happy as possible, for doing so much for someone else, deserves happiness.

[wraith421]

@123rummage i have the same prob your dad has but im am schizophrenic so you stay strong



[lizrdmaple]

@123rummage Stay strong

[ScorpiusPhoenix]

@123rummage Having Bipolar type II, borderline personality disorder, I can tell you that as hard as it is for you, your dad more than likely thinks about it every time he has an episode and feels like crap. It's hard to deal with someone who can't keep it under control at all times. He's lucky to have someone like you to be there for him.

[fuzz1a]

I like this song a lot....................

[Domo4eva]

I love staind, most of their songs feel apart of me..I love them. I wish people knew how I really felt, and understood me.

[AndrewPatrickBerf]

I can say Staind has literally been a part of my life since i was a kid, when i went to my first concert and no one knew them, and they got boo-ed off staged, and i was bummed because they were in the middle of Mudshovel and i thought they rocked! Right threw my teens, to my first sexual experiences.you name the event i my life and Staind was playing in the background lol and now im 24... :)

[Shellegify]

Well done :)

[AndrewPatrickBerf]

lol, thank you!!!

[Domo4eva]

@AndrewPatrickBerf Same here.

[DeaDEnD1505]

@AndrewPatrickBerf : I know how you feel, my dad is a huge staind fan.. ever since 1997 or so :D I'm 18 now and I think I really need to thank my dad for always playing staind when I was young... Im so glad that I was able to see them here in Germany :) Amazing band!!!

[gotaweb]

@AndrewPatrickBerf i can see why they got booed of stage they fucking suck dick, and all you pussies need to man up and stop complaining, online if you have problems fucking deal with them istead of hidding them, or just coping with them through music. so grow the fuck up.

[Rjruzicka]

@gotaweb Troll be a trollin... Obviously you don't understand what some of them are going through asshole.

[gotaweb]

@Rjruzicka if you want to call a wake up call trolling then go right ahead

[yoavsterster]

@AndrewPatrickBerf they got boo-ed off stage?! those fuckers ;_;

[AndrewPatrickBerf]

@yoavsterster yup, they didn't even shut the venue lights and people where up getting food and drinks.. it was awful!

[DogPersonThing1]

@AndrewPatrickBerf why were they booed?

[lrhw777]

@AndrewPatrickBerf Same story and it been a good one since the begining my band covers Staind all the time and we always get our best responses from it

[jepax2w]

i love this song so much bc i fell like as it was written to represent alot off people in there down moments including drugs , mental illness and so on

[BloodyxWishes]

@jepax2w I agree as well, as I can really relate to this song and I have a mental illness. I'd love it for someone to 'crawl inside my head with me' and show them how it feels to be me for one day.

[jepax2w]

@BloodyxWishes

well the very one man that i love and adore with all my heart has sever depression and bipolar diorder so when i heard this song for the first time i cried bc i know what it is like to crawl inside a persons mind and heart and i knew from that point on that i will always be able to understand his needs and i believe that soon you will find that special someone whom will not be scared but will embrase your illness and will crawl and not be afraid off what they find

[Shellegify]

@jepax2w

Wow.

[BloodyxWishes]

@jepax2w dang. My condition is similar to bipolar disorder, although it's a mixture of Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It's called schizoaffective disorder.

[guitarg3ek]

@BloodyxWishes yea i have social anxiety disorder and although its not the same people dont understand what its like. i can relate to this song so much cause i wish that the people who take what they have for granted could just see how i feel for once so they can appreciate their normality

[Domo4eva]

@BloodyxWishes Me too...

[XembraceDbutterflyX]

@MysteryNomad

Dude.......hehe, same here!

[HeavyMetalGuns]

I'd have to say the same thing that Nomad said.

[MysteryNomad]
