    My daughter recently left due to mental illness and left her 6 year old daughter with me. It was like she was talking to me through this song. She loves flowers…she has told me about the floor breathing and she can’t walk across it. I was mad. I still didn’t understand how could she leave her daughter? I’m not mad anymore. It’s like she was telling me. Why didn’t I hear her? Why did it take this song for me to understand? Thank you. You helped me see and you helped me change my heart.

      But what about the one that is suffering, it isn't fair to be forced by guilt to keep living just because someone else will be sad to see you go. If someone close to me did end it, yes I'll be sad, but I'd accept that they choose what they wanted. Because it's not my choice to say that they should live, it's theirs.

    I’m crying at the library after most undergrad students have finished their exams, I deferred mines because I was at the mental hospital. The lyrics about a quick decision in the middle of the night got to me because all my serious attempts happened in the middle of the night. Then I’d be at the hospital the next day, then in the psych unit a few days later. The semicolon is a message to continue. Follow through with treatment, even if a lot of it is waiting alone and in pain. Learning one day at a time to make friends, find a circle I feel safe and accepted in. Working for a degree even if I can’t see myself having one in the current moment. It just matters I take one step at a time in the direction of a life worth living. Because I deserve a fulfilling life.
    To everyone thinking of ending things and when the thoughts are intense:
    - STOP (stop, take a step back, observe what’s around you, and proceed in a careful manner) and drop everything you’re doing, any objects you are holding and take a few breaths, inhale 5 seconds and exhale 7 seconds.
    - Tell yourself “I want to feel better, not d!e or s..h or use”
    - Splash cold water on your face/ put your face in a bowl of cold water/put an ice pack on your face, hold for 15 to 30 seconds and repeat (slows everything down and resets the present moment)
    - Video call or walk to a friend/family member and look them in the eye, say “can you help me get out of my head” (eye contact is a pain reliever). If there isn’t anyone, call a hotline and say “can you help me get out of my head”
    Repeat with me
    “I am worthy of feeling better”
    “The feeling will pass soon. I just need to make it through this moment”
    “I am enough. I am not a bad person”
    “It’s okay to feel the way I do. It makes sense to feel the way I am feeling right now”
    “May I be healthy, may I be loved, may I have a fulfilling life”

      This is a beautiful message you left for everyone. I had to learn on my own and looked people in the eyes. They still didn't see me. I had to make a decision to go ahead forward on my own, cutting out all family even. It was hard but I learned to set boundaries with people and move quit to cut them out if they serve no purpose. God is bringing humans that love me for me, no judgemental and I am in a way better place. Good luck to all I'm 4.5 months sober from alcohol. ❤

    [Verse 1: Ren]
    I don't feel safe in this bed
    There are voices in my head
    I've been talking to the dead
    And the fear baptised me
    My kingdom turned to dust
    And I watched all my riches rust
    Have I lost the Midas' touch?
    Or do sad eyes blind me?
    [Chorus: both]
    Over and over we go
    Over the hills and the valleys bellow
    Oh, and it follows me, follows me home
    And it suffocates me, hmmm
    [Post-Chorus: both]
    Oh, I can't breath
    I said oh, I can't breath
    All I know is I forgot how to be me
    [Verse 2: Ren, both]
    I don't feel safe in the halls
    There are bruises on the walls
    There are bodies in the floors
    And they breathe so loudly
    I wish I could move
    Get up and walk right out this tomb
    Do our saviours die too soon?
    For my sins surround me
    [Chorus: Ren, Chinchilla, both]
    Over and over we go
    (Over and over we go)
    Over the hills and the valleys below
    (Over the hills and the valleys below)
    Oh, and it follows me, follows me home
    (Follows me, follows me)
    And it suffocates me, hmmm
    [Post-Chorus: both, Chinchilla]
    Oh, I can't breath
    I said oh, I can't breath
    All I know is I forgot how to be me
    Halleluja
    Where is my god, where are you?
    Halleluja
    Nothing is pulling me through
    Halleluja
    When I don't know how to be
    Halleluja
    I forgot how to be me
    [Outro: Ren]
    When he gave up the fight
    A quick decision late in the night
    That stayed with me for all of my life
    I miss you so

    "Where is my god, where are you?"
    This part hit home. Hard. I was raised a muslim and even tho i don't believe in it anymore it's still basically my whole culture. When everyone around me consoles to god and pray in hardships, telling me that my depression will be cured if i turn to god or that I'm depressed because i'm away from god, i think that's why it hit like it did. Where's my god? Where's the one i confide in? Where's my peace? Where's that thing that will magically make all the pain worth it, you know?

Anyways, you choose what you believe in, but with so many religions, there are so many contradictions. Making a sense out of everything they say will only tire your brain out, I'm an agnostic raised by both of my parents that are catholic. They've taken these sessions with the witnesses of Jehovah, and in my opinion, some most well known religions offers reassurance through the dark pit mystery if hell does exist, because if it does, so does heaven.

    This song describes me perfectly. I’m 13 years old and I’ve delt with incredibly severe anxiety and OCD since I was 8 years old. It got much worse recently two of my best friends and I got into an argument where they screamed at me, and gave me trauma. I rethought every conversation we have ever had to make sure I haven’t done something wrong. It drove me completely insane and made it so I was sad all the time and nothing could cheer me up. I felt like I fell into a pit, but my body was still up on the ground. The first time I saw their faces I had an anxiety attack. Sometimes worrying about doing things wrong made me feel like I was the worst human on this earth. Thank you for this song Ren. ❤❤❤ know that you are appreciated.

Ever since then I have struggled with mental health and have told many people that I haven't been the same since then. This song perfectly described a feeling I hadn't found the right words to express.
    Also, after hearing the last verse in Suicide, the last bit of this song hits me different. Dont know for sure if they are both about the same event but it seems like it.

    I don't feel safe in this bed
    There are voices in my head
    I've been talking to the dead
    And the fear baptised me
    My kingdom turned to dust
    And I watched all my riches rust
    Have I lost the Midas' touch?
    Or do sad eyes blind me?
    Over and over we go
    Over the hills and the valleys bellow
    Oh, and it follows me, follows me home
    And it suffocates me, hmmm
    Oh, I can't breath
    I said oh, I can't breath
    All I know is I forgot how to be me
    I don't feel safe in the halls
    There are bruises on the walls
    There are bodies in the floors
    And they breathe so loudly
    I wish I could move
    Get up and walk right out this tomb
    Do our saviours die too soon?
    For my sins surround me
    Over and over we go
    (Over and over we go)
    Over the hills and the valleys below
    (Over the hills and the valleys below)
    Oh, and it follows me, follows me home
    (Follows me, follows me)
    And it suffocates me, hmmm
    Oh, I can't breath
    I said oh, I can't breath
    All I know is I forgot how to be me
    Halleluja
    Where is my God, where are you?
    Halleluja
    Nothing is pulling me through
    Halleluja
    When I don't know how to be
    Halleluja
    I forgot how to be me
    When he gave up the fight
    A quick decision late in the night
    That stayed with me for all of my life
    I miss you so

Started listening to Ren's amazing music a few days ago and today this song was suggested to me and it felt so familiar while listening and apparently I listened to it while I was in a very bad place and could identify with its lyrics so very much.
    Just wanna tell ya: I got out and if you are struggling as well, you can too. Know that there are ppl caring about you and even if you can't imagine they do, I do. Don't give up. Life won't get easier but you'll learn how to cope better because you will now where your line of strain is.
    Ren what you are doing is amazing. Keep up the good work!
