I discovered i was an addict to dating sites and sexual validation 3 years ago. It nearly destroyed my marriage. There was a point then where I wanted to give up and I nearly decided to file for divorce, and start new after 13 years of being with my wife. I came clean about it all and went to therapy. I may still be slowly trying to harm reduce when it comes to pornography, but I can say ive been 3 years free of dating sites. The hopelessness eventually went away as I slowly healed and recovered from the bottom I never thought i would have climbed out of. 3 years later, my wife and I now communicate on a level we never did before. She has been in my corner from day one of my recovery journey.
@@bonand007 the only way to heal from an addiction like this is to talk about it and de-stigmatize it. I know if I share my story in the comments someone will relate and not feel alone.
Thank you for sharing your journey with such honesty and vulnerability. Discovering and confronting addiction, especially when it impacts relationships as deeply as it did yours, takes immense courage. It's clear that your commitment to change and your openness with your wife have been crucial in rebuilding trust and communication. Three years free of dating sites is a significant accomplishment, and your ongoing efforts to reduce harmful behaviors show your dedication to personal growth and healing. I'm so proud of you! It's heartening to hear that despite the challenges, your marriage has evolved into a place of deeper understanding and communication. Having your wife's unwavering support throughout your recovery journey shows the strength of your love for each other. Wishing you continued strength and progress in your recovery and in your relationship with your wife.
An insightful and heartfelt reaction that demonstrates your great empathy with people who are struggling with mental illness. I wish there were more people on youtube like you, that address the deeper issues that people face. There is no magic fix to success! All we can do is strive to be the best we can be in whatever path we choose. Thanks for this Amanda. 👍
I had the chance to go and see Coldplay live at Wembley stadium with my father for the Head Full Of Dreams tour in 2016 the actual date we went was Father’s Day in the uk. it was one of the last things we did just the 2 of us I remember there was a car crash outside the stadium so because of traffic we didn’t get home until 3am. We said we would have to do it again but sadly never got the chance but I think I will try and do it. I would highly recommend you to check out a live version of the song it is a special moment with the crowd interaction and pyro
I went to see Coldplay just to check out what they were about, wasn't the biggest fan in the world, just curious as to why they're so big, and yeah, to hear an arena full of their fans singing this with them... it's an experience.
'The American Dream' is a phrase that's promoted by the business community in a big way because by implying that anyone can rise to the top by working hard, the big corporations get more work out of their employees for no additional cost, thus improving their profit margins and the bonuses for the CEOs! Al Murray quite rightly said that here in the UK we don't have 'A Dream' because we're awake!
As a parent of three children, two of which have mental health difficulties, (one who has had psychosis and experiences severe bouts of depression and one who has an eating disorder and self harms) it is so hard to accept you can't always 'fix' things, when all you want to do is take away their pain. Mental health services too often ignore the role of the parent in the support of the child, as they apply blanket policies of confidentiality and safeguarding which, whilst important to protect the 5% who need this, works to the detriment of the 95% who would otherwise have benefitted from more engaged and informed parents. It has taken me years to retrain myself to think differently, against my natural instincts, to acknowledge the kind of support they need and to not take on the guilt of feeling that this is not enough. This is still a work in progress. I'm very sorry to have read about what you've been through and just want to say that I really admire the positivity and generosity of spirit you show, and wanted you to hear one more voice telling you that what you are doing is amazing and will be greatly valued by those who need it.
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience as a parent facing such significant challenges with your children's mental health. It's incredibly tough to navigate, and your words resonate deeply as a mama wolf myself. The struggle to accept that you can't always fix everything for your children, despite your strongest desires to alleviate their pain, is a universal feeling among parents in similar situations. I'm going through this currently with his father (my ex) and it can make us feel so helpless. You raise a crucial point about the role of parents in mental health support. While confidentiality and safeguarding policies are important, they can sometimes inadvertently hinder the involvement of supportive parents who could provide valuable assistance. It's a delicate balance that needs more nuanced consideration in mental health services. Your journey of retraining yourself to provide the kind of support your children need, while managing feelings of guilt and inadequacy, is both admirable and relatable. It's a testament to your resilience and love for your children. I truly appreciate your kind words and encouragement. Knowing that my efforts to raise awareness and support for mental health are valued means a lot. Please know that you're not alone in this journey, and your dedication as a parent is invaluable to your children's well-being.
This is a beautiful song. I totally agree with you that we can fix others but to keep an open mind because we don't know what tomorrow will bring. Never give up hope because you will ALWAYS have a place saved for YOU. ❤you Amanda and thank you for sharing.
Great reaction as always. I was a heroin addict from age 11-17 in gangs and surrounded by violence. I managed to escape and get clean I’m now 40 and have two kids and while dealing with my past I’ve survived 3 suicide attempts. Anyway, as a a thought seeing as he’s back I’d suggest you give Eminem a listen and his song beautiful. The lyric content of that song hits hard but has a positive story in it. Worth a reaction.
I crave the most? That I want to fix her. Why can’t I fix my wife’s past traumas? Why am I inadequate? Why can’t I fix her? I like the Fearless Soul cover of this song. Very beautiful.
Im so glad i found your page, because you're a real one who has been to hell and back , you can tell thay by your genuine words . Your page helps me while the shadows cover the light. Thank you ❤
We played this song at my father’s funeral as we carried his coffin in, as he loved this song. I struggle to listen to it now. Can you please react to Shinedown, A Symptom Of Being Human ( Official Video) as it really fits with your channel, you will love it, thanks.
That was sooo beautiful 😢 you know Amanda some of this new school music is starting to rub of on me haha 😊 Ryan Barron I'll my Best to help you be there for you in support always ❤❤ Ryan
You might try doing a reaction to "Life is Beautiful" from Sixx AM. It's actually an album created from the book Nikki Sixx wrote called "The Heroine Diaries". A look back at his addiction and near-death experiences. Now clean for over 20 years, Nikki is doing well living in Idaho with his wife and children. The book and album are not for the faint of heart as it really digs into the tragedy and hopelessness of addiction. I read the book 4 times and listen to the songs a few times a month. It's thought provoking and emotional.
Notice that the video starts in slow-mo but the lips match the audio...neat trick. Obviously fantastic lyrics...that it transitions to a live performance also works well for the crescendo.
Amanda, you have got to check out and react to the Swedish metal band Amon Amarth. You will get goosebumps and some tense surges of adrenaline that will propel you into a major fitness routine while listening to their songs The Way of Vikings, Put Your Back into the Oar, Twilight of the Thunder God, Fafner’s Gold, Raven’s Flight, The Pursuit of Vikings, Heidrun, Annihilation of Hammerfest, and Crack The Sky.
The version by the "Young @ Heart " choir with Fred Knittle (RIP Fred) is even more touching. ruclips.net/video/G-e8LGMPTtE/видео.html Fred was going to sing it with his mate originally, but the friend passed away before the show.
I definitely think something inside me broke when I started sliding into depression. It took a long time for me to notice and by the time I did I couldn’t even tell what it was that I needed to fix. I think this is why I do not respond to treatment.
It can take a while for us to find the best tools to help ourselves cope. I don't believe anyone is "broken". We are here for you. You can reply here or email me (in video description)/send me an IG message (@mentalamanda).
Lights never guided me home. I fixed others but myself. All my efforts, all my love, in vain. What I got in return was a brain hemorrhage which took away my memories. And now, "my family and freinds" say I'm difficult to deal with because of my memory loss. All I wanted was a freindly human touch. But it's too much effort to put in, they say. So no, lights never guided me home. I apologize for being so negative but that's life. Stuck in reverse.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time. It's incredibly challenging to feel like your efforts haven't been recognized or reciprocated. Memory loss can indeed strain relationships, and it must be incredibly frustrating to feel misunderstood or distant from those you care about. It's okay to feel negative sometimes; life can be incredibly difficult, and it's important to acknowledge those feelings. It's also important to remember that you're not alone, even if it might feel that way right now. Are you part of any support groups for others struggling with brain injuries or memory loss? Sometimes it can be very helpful to connect with others who will understand when the people close to you don't. If you ever want to talk more or share more about what you're going through, you can always message me on IG @mentalamanda.
X&Y has a bunch of great songs. Square 1, White Shadows, Talk: all full of empathy &/or the need for communication. "Fix You" just isn't 1 of my favs though (ending verse is too repetitive). Just IMHO. Not that it's a bad song.
Hi Amanda hope you are well. I know that music can be great therapy. I know you cover really deep and emotional music and I wanted to ask if you have heard the new song by James Blunt called The Girl that Never Was? Trigger Warning: The reason I ask is because you so courageously shared that you sadly had a miscarriage. I won’t even pretend to understand how devastating that must be. The song written by James Blunt was written after he and his wife lost their child to miscarriage. I don’t know if that is something that you just can’t do but it’s such a powerful and sad song that has some joy in it as well. Best wishes to you and keep on truckin!
Hi how are you doing? I just wanted to let you know that I'm doing a lot better about myself and not let my emotions get the better of me. I feel like I'm more aware.😘😘❤️❤️👋
It’s ironic you wear cat ears .in March I had to put down my long time pet cat and played this song during that end process balling my eyes out . Ughhh
I raised my last 2 cats from birth, They were the first pets I ever had that I had from birth to death. They both died in my arms, 2 years apart. 1st one had renal kidney failure, the 2nd died of an asthma attack. Seeing their eyes when it happened really broke me. All I know is that I gave them a good life full of love. That's the best you can do.
As an animal lover, I feel for you. I still miss my dog. Once you have that special connection, its hard to cope with. Just remember the happiness you give them.
@@MentalAmanda hi , thanks for, yeah it’s hard . I’ve lost pets before, but he was with me 19 years ago, so it’s been a tough few months , now dealing with stress sickness . ‘24 fn sucks ! Thx for your time Amanda !

The end of the song makes me think about my dachshund named T-Bone I lost after 17 years. I’ll never get over it
So sorry to hear.

The odd pairing of this song and that one scene from HBO's The Newsroom is just... grandiose.
