    If you haven't heard it, "Fear" by blue october is a great one. Personally "Not Broken Anymore" by Blue October saved me. Found out my wife was pregnant with our first and the next day that song hit the net and i just listened to it on loop. Realized the kid would need his dad and it helped me snap out of it.

    I haven't heard this song in years. And man, did it mess me up. I have a special kind of friendship with someone. She's a devout Catholic, and we've spend many nights talking for hours about all sorts of topics and she's never gotten upset or disgusted by the things I've said and she's always been the most loving person I know. So that line about not doubting opinions on suicide and hate and making me compliment myself hit me like aa truck. Cuz she always does this.
    This and Jesus Christ by Brand New are some of the very few songs that hit me like that.
    Thank you for reminding me about this song.

  • @michaellamoreaux1825
    @michaellamoreaux1825 4 месяца назад +3

    I saw this song a lot different then you. He wants her to hate him because he knows he is not good for her. He loves her and that is the reason he choose to be sober. He also knows he needs to find himself before he can move forward. If he was still with her, he may hurt her more and could put him back in to the darkness. Best to be hated and not hurt them more.

    This was my aunt Laura's favorite song. I remember her playing this on the radio in the kitchen, while the cousins and I played together.
    She passed away in September from terminal cancer, at the age of 44. 5 years prior, she had lost her son, my cousin Nicholas. He was 19.
    This song hits differently now. I can't help but cry whenever I hear it; I will forever connect this song to my aunt. Thank you for this reaction 🫶🏻

  • @blooddrunk4957
    @blooddrunk4957 Год назад +6

    I've always loved this song since it came out. But this, honestly, is my first time watching the mv. I interpret it as a story of him committing suicide/OD'ing and his spirit walking through his childhood home looking back on all the good memories he made in it, carrying the answering machine that had the last message from his mother on it, who was probably the only consistent person in his life at least to him. Then asking his mother to hate him, hate him "in ways hard to swallow", so she can forget about him and see that she can still live happily. Truly an amazing song and music video.

    I've listened to this song many times because it speaks to the fractured relationship I have with my mother and our shared addiction to alcohol that tore my family apart. Undoubtedly, this reaction popped up in my feed because I've listened to the song many times on many dark nights. More than hearing your thoughts about the song, I heard a timely message that was much needed in the moment. You have a new fan! Thanks for being so candid and insightful.

    I live in St. Louis, Mo, and somewhat recently a beloved cornerstone in St. Louis radio named Jeff Burton died after a lengthy battle with cancer. Jeff was one of the first radio DJ's to play this song when it was released. Him and the band have had a strong relationship since. A couple weeks after his death Blue October dropped everything to play for free and with all the ticket sales going to Jeff's wife and kids here in STL. It was beyond emotional. Justin Furstenfeld, the lead singer played this song at the show. Just him and an acoustic guitar. I was there for it and I swear, not a dry eye in the entire house.

    my mom lost her battle with mental health July 20th 2023, this song was the first real thing that made me process her passing and gave me my first, real, big cry over it. i had to be strong for my older sisters and for my moms loved ones and so i packed all my feelings away until i made her memorial video to play at her funeral, and this song was one of three i used .... and i broke. i always loved this song growing up, but now ... now i have a whole new love for this song!

My mom wanted to be a writer as well and unfortunately passed before she finished her book, so I dedicated my first book to her. Just finished the first draft and working my way through edits and revisions and then hoping I can get published!

    This song is like 20 years old now. When I first heard it, I was reminded of a relationship that I was not good at. I found the song again about a year ago when someone hurt me. She is an alcoholic and a bad person. I saw past that I saw the beautiful person inside, but she put her defenses up and ran. The bad person she is won and I suffered.
    I've finally moved on and am not in a drak place. I have a new job, new hobby and am leaving the past behind.

  • @davidmarino1913
    @davidmarino1913 10 месяцев назад +1

    Im 54 years old. I spent 36 years of my life trying to find the love i didnt receive in the first 18 years of my life. I was a pawn of war between my birth parents, and was made to feel like a piece of disgusting filth by the mother who raised me... my dad's second wife. I hated her son because he had something i never felt that he did: a family. The women i sought i thought would give me what i was missing, the family i never had, but i never took the time to find out who i am as a person. I was never able to want the best for those women during or after our relationships because i was too wrapped up in what i was losing, had lost, or wasn't allowed to have. I felt more like he does in The End, and not like he does in this song, hate me, go away, be happy, find what you really deserve, because it isnt me, because there is no happiness with me. Im in therapy now, and have learned that very important lesson about myself, and am now trying to find my happiness now. The problem is that there is so very much pain there, so much so that i dont know if ill ever find it.

    • @MentalAmanda

    It's stupid, but as a Man United and Ferrari fan, 2023 is the worst year ever for me, like really hate myself. Unemployed (hopefully to stop it by August 2023, finger crossed), seeing rival won treble, Ferrari failed to show up against Red Bull, obesity, and fail to pass my diploma on time, it's just goddamn overwhelming. This song is one of my go-to moment when I get down with life. Listen to Art of Dying - Sorry as well, it's so melodic and touching :D.

    • @MentalAmanda
      @MentalAmanda  Год назад

      That does sound overwhelming! When I have things slam me like that and I feel overwhelmed, I make two lists: things that are in my control and things that aren't. Then I start going through the things in my control list and seeing what I can do to take action. You got this!

  • @rmax5150
    @rmax5150 5 месяцев назад

    I understand this song all too well. I have a wife and three beautiful kids, all of whom I feel that I continue to fail. No matter how hard I try, the memories of the very bad things I experienced and witnessed when I was a child relentlessly creep into my entire being and consume me. I've tried everything to rid myself of it over the years, but the disturbingly graphic images of my childhood memories that have awakened me on a nightly basis for most of my life, still haunt my mind and I don't know how to make it stop. My nightmares are always of real events from my childhood. So, they are all extremely vivid and very real. In a "dream state" it feels like being cursed to relive them over and over again. Even though I chose to NEVER put my wife and kids through anything even remotely resembling those same things, I still feel I'm defectively damaged and sometimes feel that they may be better off with me gone, even if they do not realize it. As I write this, it is currently 5:39 am. Like most nights, at around 3:00 am., my poor wife had to wake me up from what she calls "night terrors." I feel so bad for her. She never complains, but I know that makes it hard for her to get the sleep she needs and deserves. I will most likely be somewhat "zombified" for most of the day as I am many other days. My family deserves better than what I am. I just can't seem to stop myself from self torture. Though I've always managed to stay away from substance abuse, I completely understand how people fall into that. I'm no better, from an early age, I was simply aware of my potential to become an addict, so I stayed away from all of it. The exception being cigarettes. Though, that is a bad enough dependency in and of itself. About a year ago, it was suggested that I would be a good candidate for clinical Ketamine therapy. I was so desperate for hope that I went through the treatment as a last resort. In my case, it only made things much worse.

    • @MentalAmanda
      @MentalAmanda  5 месяцев назад

      This breaks my heart to know the mental anguish you're in. I know that you said that you've sought out therapy, but I'm curious if you were matched with someone who specializes specifically in childhood trauma. I also know a lot of people that swear by EMDR for trauma work. So maybe find someone who can offer that?

This band literally save my life during the lowest time of my life. all the emotion, all the lyric, all the desperate scream that I can feel, all the crying night with Blue October bring back my life. Justin's emotion is one thing that stand out, he is not singing, he tells you his story with all of his heart. Every album tell the recovery story, self-blaming, denial, acceptance, turning point, until finally acknowledge yourself. This is pure genius.

    I’m 38 now and I cannot believe I’m still alive and have a beautiful life. Trust me if I could make it out of a dark place. So can you! Just get out of your mind and find beauty. Trust me God has a way of showing you things that you’re heart closed off to.

    This song makes me sad it starts making me thinking about how I destroyed my mom's happiness. It's hard we never sat down & talked about it. I blame myself for ruining her chance at happiness. I was only 16 years old when it all started. When I finally spoke out I was 17. At times I regret saying anything If I could've have moved away maybe it never would've happened. It's not the same situation but the pain still there.

    Being Bipolar 1, this song has always resonated with me and made me cry, still does because I can see how ive done that. I've tried to male my wife despise me so she would take the kids and go so that this miserable illness didn't consume them too.
    I still struggle with stopping my brain from making them the enemy to justify pushing them away.

    • @MentalAmanda
      @MentalAmanda  25 дней назад

      I can’t imagine how heavy that struggle must be, but the fact that you’re aware of it and still fighting to protect your family from the impact of the illness speaks volumes about your love for them. Bipolar 1 can be such a painful and isolating journey, but recognizing those patterns is a huge step in working through it. It’s okay to struggle, and it’s okay to ask for help when you feel that pull to push others away. It's okay to step away and recaliberate. Your family loves you, even when things feel overwhelming. You’re not alone in this, and sharing your experience is a powerful way to keep fighting.

    This has been one of my favourite songs since it came out and even now as a grown 35 year old man I still get tears in my eyes listening to this. Personally I haven't gone through any addiction like this, but I when I was younger I went through a very bad drinking and party phase where I will disregard everyone around me including my own safety, drinking and driving and arriving home near passed out drunk at 4am in the morning, so what I get from this song is how my actions can hurt those I love and that sometimes it feels better to just leave them behind, and with him telling his mom to hate him instead because it will make her life better and easier, that is such a strong message. When he says "as I saw your blue eyes cry, and I held your face in my hands" is something that will break me as a son.
    My mom asked me once "how could you do this to me?" and honestly it shattered my heart.

      My heart sank reading this because it reminded me of a time that my dad said, "How can you watch me die (he had emphysema) and still light up a cigarette?" Sadly I was still smoking when he passed, but quit on his birthday one year. You're right, it is a strong message because it represents a tendency to self-sabotage our relationships with others to dampen the pain of loss or disappointment AND how substances and mental health challenges can trap us inside of ourselves where nothing matters from our own life to the people we care about. Thank you for sharing and I hope you are in a better place now.

      @@MentalAmanda I have grown a lot as a person since then, although it took me a long time to come to fhe realisation that I (and ONLY I) need to make a change because I was heading diwn a slippery slope. Since then I have become way more self responsible, growing in confidence through good social interaction, especially solo travelling, and most importantly I have changed my environment.
      Removing oneself from a toxic environment (whether it be your work, friends, town or city and surroundings, or all of the above) is some of the best advise I can give to someone looking to improve themselves, you need to realise and decide to remove yourself from those situations, and don't be afraid, sometimes we need to take a leap of faith even if we go in blind, just believe in yourself and never push away anybody that willingly wants to be part of your life or journey, those are the ones that will always support you regardless of your past.

    I've been a fan of yours for a while, but this is my first comment to you. This is a song that hits so deep in me. I haven't told this story since my late 20's, to anyone.
    When I was 17, my 25 year old neighbor and best friend, who struggled with schizophrenia, committed s*icide. Long story short, she did it with my gun that I gave to her because I was a, painfully, nieve kid. I'm in my early 50's now, and that is still a raw wound that will not heal. At her funeral, her grandmother pulled me aside and told me that her entire family believes I was sent by God to save Mary from her Demons. How do you take that as a kid? As a compliment? As a harbinger? My relationship with God since then is one of animosity and hate. And i have since kept myself at arms length from everyone in my life.... because I know that God has probably sent me to hurt them, too.
    I'm so grateful for what you do on this channel. You've helped me more than any therapist ever has. I appreciate your analysis of this track. It helps me to understand myself a little better. Thank you for your channel.

    Trying this for a 3rd time, editing myself as youtube keeps deleting my comments, posting this for anyone else thats been there. This song is amazing but hard for me to listen to. I had it playing the last time I tried to ..... myself. I wanted my wife to hate me for doing it so that in hating me she would have an easier time getting over it.
