You are my motivational and medication guardian ❤️
I attempted suicide on September 22
,2023 I’m alive but something I don’t feel strong enough
Thank you ❤❤❤
I love your music, we almost met once. I have 56 of your songs that I use to try and convey to my Dr's what I deal with. The VA are not interested in listening to the answers. Even the SUICIDE prevention cowardanater either refuses of is told by her supervisor not to. Dr's have told me the PTSD I suffer from is one of the worst they have seen. Only ones worse are now dead. Don't have nightmares because I don't sleep, they play 24/7 in my head. I have to distract it or I chase it down the rabbit hole. Have a therapist but no provider. VA has cut off medications because I cannot travel the 2 hours to the appointments. Have had 5 heart attacks in the last year, 2 in 3 months. The want to do surgery but can't because of the ptsd. Catheterization uses partial sedation only, taking away my distractions to keep them safe. Last time I crushed a nurses wrist while out of touch.
No longer have to worry about the thoughts of suicide as they were constant. As my body will now do it for me.
Wish others better luck as I have had enough.

For those who, like me, haven't found someone, DO NOT SURRENDER, someone will appear eventually, by the way, Love the song❤❤
I am really starting to see the community this band has brought to my attention, and it's comments like yours that help me to remember I keep fighting my low days because I want to find my community.
Yes! I've seen it happen myself...heck the person who I saw it happen to is myself, so I can say that I've experienced it. 💜💜
well said 🫶 there's someone out there
No thank you to Tharapy they just shove drugs down our throat to shut us up that's all they do so fuck doctors of any kind and we are not broken we just have more common sense than the average person who play video games and bust a nut all day who have no room to talk because they could never walk a mile in our shoes and this is a war that we cannot give into the doctors and pills are our enemies and shall kneel at our feet because we are God they are useless unintelligent morons
I'm currently having one of my off days. I'm not happy or sad; just very blah and drained. This song is definitely something I needed today. Thank you, Citizen Soldier!
Glad to hear it helps 🫶
Same.
I went through a couple really bad “therapists” before finding a good one who legit cared. They do exist, I promise! ❤
agree 💯 they're out there 🫶
That's important - a person who KNOWS your pain and not just saying "you have to do this or that" especially when they don't know with what you're going through. A person who can feel with you gives you the feeling and courage that you're not alone in this world. That's what you teach us with every song. Thank You!❤🙏
well said 🫶 much love
The courage and belief to do what they need to do sometimes they need guidance but therapy today doesn't compare to the old days when sages who lived it where able to help guide young people on how to find partners or achieve their goals, the community has been commercialized into a commodity to be sold
Empathy is one of the simplest, and strongest forms, of being there for someone.
Really being there and showing you truly care about them.
@@jibrilamvs Exactly!🙏
I've been told when you are suffering depression or other bad things. DON'T EXPECT ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!! To give a damn funny, it was my therapist who told me this. Only during good times might people be there kinda messed up😢
"i need someone to see my worst and stay"
this line hits the hardest
🫶
@@inna4985 Maybe your "best" feels unreal to other people? Like, you try so hard that is comes off as being fake? Well, I guess that depends on what your definition of "your best" is and what it means to you (since it could mean something entirely different to somebody else), but it's also possible that you keep going for the wrong kinds of people...
@@XoxJanexoX this.

Empathy over therapy... One thing I always used to say to myself. Always on the scars, ay, Citizen? Another masterpiece. Thank you! 💙

I’m so tired of being lectured on my problems like it’s not going in my own damn head, and the line, “I’ve been there” comparisons, so true
🫶
"It's like i'm being lectured on my problems like i'm not already the expert", "i need someone to see me break and numb me just the same" and "just sit in my shadows with me" hit way too hard man
As always, awesome work on the song and lyric vid, you guys never miss
appreciate you 🫶
numb?
I feel this one in my soul. Sometimes you don’t need someone to try and fix you, you just need someone to listen for a while.

Not only can you not write a bad song, but you can't have a bridge that doesn't give me all the feels. Much love! ❤️
glad to hear that 🫶
Finding a therapist who can also show you empathy is a real struggle, but if you find someone like that it's really helpful. For me it's all about being helpful AND listening.... still a nice song 👍
agreed 💯 well said 🫶
I'm finally going to leave a comment:
Thank you, so much, for doing what you all do, Citizen Soldier. I think you are the one band whose songs I am always looking forward to hearing. They have a way of helping me through some dark times and they speak to me in ways I couldn't have imagined. Please keep doing what you're doing, exactly the way you're doing it. It matters, to many, and it works!
It's funny how this song came out today. I'm literally in the process of getting in touch with my therapist again. Thankfully, she is very empathetic, and, like the message of this song says: I don't need someone to fix me or tell me I'm broken. I need someone to show me some empathy and love. Shout out to those who exercise true empathy, especially to those who struggle with depression. You probably save more peoples' lives than you'll ever know.
And, Citizen Soldier, you inspire me to do that. I share your songs with those that need to hear it. And I truly think they help. They certainly help me. Thank you, so much.
I find it interesting how so many people are against therapy. Some bad apples spoil the bunch, I guess. I'm glad to see someone else here that has experience with therapists that actually have and use empathy, though.
To anyone else that happens to read this: remember that there ARE good therapists out there that DO have empathy, and don't just default to "trying to fix" you. If you go for getting therapy, and that's all it feels like, then perhaps you should consider standing up for yourself by demanding to see a different one, until you get one that works for you. That's what I had to resort to, and I've gotten some real gems of therapists, as a result.
"I need someone to see my worst and stay" hits home to me because I failed someone who was at there worst, someone I cared deeply about. Because I failed to be there when they needed me the most, it really messes with me still to know how badly I failed them. But this song is some comfort to that hurt, so great job on it citizen soldier you really deserve more attention then you currently have ❤
Much love 🫶
I won't pretend to know your situation, but I'd like to think (from someone on that end) they'd get it. They'd know of all people, why you couldn't be there. They'd forgive you. People have failed, and I nearly didn't survive. I don't blame them, anymore than I can blame myself for needing them in the first place... keep your chin up, and do for those you can. 💜
❤
Right now i am trough a period when i really need emphaty and it seems that no one is kind around me. I never was that lonely in my life and listening to your songs is like a kind of therapy i could say, even if dont make the pain go away, it make it a little bit less painful. Thank you so much for all!❤️❤️
I don't know what you are going through but you are doing awesome! If you ever need someone to talk to I'll be here.
@darkyblack96 I would be glad to talk to you, if you would want to. I'm here for you.

I have been saying I don't need therapy for a while now. I am glad I found the one person I needed who listens to me. My wonderful husband. I love this song. It speaks right to my soul!
glad to hear that 🫶
This is exactly how it feels. I just want someone by my side. I don't need to be fixed, just accepted. ❤
we hear you 🫶
Hit hard like always. There's people out there willing to listen to you! Even if you feel like no one will, true friends will prevail for you and be there for you. My friends are my therapy, persay, they always listen to what I have to say, we can vent to each other, etc I've never felt better in the last 3 years since meeting them, they are my lifelines, and they are proud of me being myself finally and that I'm not hiding anymore. my GF is as well. she's super proud of how far I've come over the years we've know each other. idk where I would be if it wasn't for my friends and my mom. **YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN YOUR FIGHTS**
I really love this song Citizen Soldier. The words and feelings your songs portray are amazing. I usually don't leave comments but since i feel like you guy's songs get better as you make them i've decided to tell you guys. Thank you. Your music has helped me so much. I hope you guys keep doing what you love. Have an amazing day.
Appreciate those words 🫶
I suffer from PTSD and major depression and I've only got one person that is there for me through it all and she's like a sister to me.
Sometimes we need to listen to the pain of others, and why not suffer with them as well! We grieve with him and give him patience for his wounds instead of standing in front of him and blaming him for what he did not do ، Without even listening to him .
So Thanks Jake for this important lessen that you give us Today ❤
Much love 🫶
I like the flashing quotes around "medicine". It takes more than pills to get through.
"But I feel like a project and not like a person." That hit really close home to me. Thank you so much for this song, Citizen Soldier!
This is such a great and beautiful song. Thank you so much citizen Soldier!! ❤

This song helped me through a PTSD thing last night. And you guys are my therapy/ICU!

As someone who struggles with their mental health all of your song help, it's good to know that others struggle the same way, I mean it sucks that others are also struggling, but it's just good to know I'm not alone. I love you guys, keep making these amazing songs❤

Hi, guys, you are my sister's fav band, and she's going through some tough times, but your music helps her to hold on. And I just wanted to say, I am grateful that you exist. Thank you.

Celestial tunes from a Stellar band. Thank you CS! 💜🖤

If I had a dime for every time citizen soldier made an amazing song, I'd be a millionaire
Your songs always make me tear up a lil. I love them honestly, each one is creative in its own way. Amazing how your music is so consistent
appreciate that 🫶
I have a pretty decent therapist and I feel like she understands a lot of what I've been going through, but I always leave my appointments wondering what the point of it was. Yes it's nice to vent in a safe space where I'm not judged, but I never feel healed afterwards. My family is pretty good at sympathizing with me too but I can't go to them with my real feelings... I don't want to be judged or make them worry. All this to say, that despite all that, I still relate a lot to this song. Sometimes I just need someone to listen and genuinely care without jumping in to solve the problem. I just need someone I can fully trust with my most genuine, real feelings who will sincerely listen, care, and truly empathize with me....
Every single time there’s a new song by these incredible people I always say it can’t be better than the last one every single time I’m proven wrong. I can’t believe I get to see you in person tomorrow and meet the people that saved my life. I love you thank you for what you do.💜
glad to hear the music helps 🫶
@@CitizenSoldier yes!! It definitely does I can’t believe you responded!!😁😁
"I need someone to see the worst and stay!" Took the words I've been screaming for years and put it in this masterpiece.
I feel this song so much.
"But I feel like a project and not like a person"
This sentence just hits totally different when you felt it already. I always feel that people want to fix me, change me, make me better. But all I want is someone that listens to me when i am down, someone i can spill everything out to, instead of trying to fix everything. Someone that's just there.
Thank you for your songs. They make me feel better and not so alone anymore ❤.
"Its like I'm being lectured on my problems like I'm not already the expert" is the most relatable line in this song for me. I go to therapy already aware of my problems and I walk in more or less knowing what I need to do to fix them. There's just so much fear and uncertainty that keeps me from going through with any of the solutions and THAT'S what I don't know how to fix.
This song is really relatable that it hurts😢 still fighting but it is difficult
Stay strong friend! I am sure you are awsome! Keep going trough life and im sure some good things will happen to you because you deserve them! Give you lots of love!❤️❤️
Sometimes listening.
Sometimes just being there is what helps the most.
I just don't know how to find that in my life
Every song rips me apart and heals me at the same time. The words are what my heart screams but I have to be stable for my people but I'm hurting so badly
Was just listening to someone's story of losing a loved one and how they realized they were trying to fix the loved one more than be there for them. I ended up being reminded of this song
Man. Listening to your songs has stopped me from giving up and surrendering some nights

God dammmmm. Finally seeing the lyrics video and it hits me so much more. Crying a but. Not in a bad way. Citizen Soldier is my soul band and it truly makes me feelnthat they have known my life and how I've felt. I've never found music that made me feel this way before.

'All I need is empathy' & 'shut their mouth and listen to what I say' is what I relate to most 🖤
Awwww such a amazing song as always guys!!! Keep going like that!!!❤❤

That was amazing. There so many powerful lines in there that made me tear up. Thank you for putting these thoughts and feelings into words. You guys are amazing, keep up the great work!! 💙

This song comes perfect! Just three days ago, I dared to tell my mom about my selfharm and that I’m not fine and would like to go to therapy. Since then we were searching an searching and it looks pretty good for me. But I‘m scared about therapie. But also happy that I was brave enough to ask to get help. ❤️
To whoever is reading this:
I hope you are doing well, and if its not so, its okay! But remember, the pain wont be forever. ❤️❤️
well said 🫶
As much as it pains me to admit I've said this way too often. I still find myself saying this ironically to my therapist nearly every week. All I can say is when you finally admit you need the help that makes you stronger than you've ever been.
I wish I could send this to my friends and family so they can get a drop of understanding of how I feel. I'm tired of feeling like my feelings are brushed off or that there's some "solution" when I just need someone there for me 💔
we hear ya 🫶 sending hugs
I needed this so much. Thank you for always being my safe place. Your music is always my safe place. 🐺❤️🐺
As a mental health counselor in training, I'm going to take this song to heart. One of the first lessons that keeps getting reinforced in my counselor graduate program is that the relationship, that human connection, is what is most important. Learning to feel an exercise empathy, not simply appeared fear of therapists in your preaching, I would think you're doing it wrong. Some of the most impactful statements I've heard in my own therapy sessions of just been acknowledgements and validations about what I was going through. When I have that, then I could start doing the rest of the work, not to be fixed but to be me and handle things that I was handling.
I work as a therapist, and I want to believe that I show the empathy and compassion that the people I work with need. But I recognize that oftentimes, I might go into “teaching” / problem-solving mode. Sometimes, there’s a time for that. And sometimes, like this song conveys, people just need someone to listen and be present with them. Again, I hope I do this in my work, but thank you Citizen Soldier for putting this out there. It’s a great reminder (or wake-up call) for those of us working in mental health care, and a great message to those who are hurting mentally and emotionally that they are not alone in feeling this way (myself included sometimes).
Finally, someone that realizes exactly what I've been craving and put it all in a song.
This song perfectly describes how I felt when I was first confronting my depression and suicidal ideation. I didn't need therapy, I wasn't in a headspace to be willing to participate in that. What I needed was a friend who 'got it' who would listen to whatever I had to say, sit through the whole thing, and then still say "I love you" afterwards. Fucking broke me in the best way and I wish everyone who was in that place had a friend like that.
Sometimes it takes the one hurting to be vulnerable. I do not know what I have not experienced. We only know our personal experience and/or battles. It hurts so much to see someone struggling. Empathy is just the start. Much love❤.
Probably didn't get empathy the last time they were vulnerable or someone who needs to give it already proved incapable
I’ve been going through therapy for the past 10 years I finally got to a point that I don’t need it anymore.
“You need therapy” No. I need someone to not stare at me for half an hour and be little me when I tell them about my problems. Just listen.
Exactly
the amount i relate to this... just damn. but i feel like probably a lot of people can relate.
cuz even those who love us often think they're helping, except they're not. sometimes we don't need fixes or answers, we just need to listen and care
amazing as always!
Thanks so much for another song that says what I struggle to find words for.
Words that I so desperately need .
hope it helps 🫶
Many people tried to "help me" but all they do is judge and provide a solution to fix everything without knowing that it is one thing to say them and another to do them.
Sometimes it's very exhausting to keep everything inside without letting anyone out and it's hard for me to say what I need to express.
we hear ya 🫶
Well that hits home. I get so sick of everybody trying to fix me. I don’t want anybody to fix me, I want somebody to be there while I fix myself.
“I don’t need therapy. I need someone to hurt with me, I need someone to feel my pain and not just walk away” only if my dad could get this🥲instead of getting mad at my feelings and walking away from the conversation
Honestly has been living rent free in my head.
Every word, every song...my soul is exposed and it hurts but I appreciate the hurt because hurt is growth.
"I need someone to see my worst and stay" hits different.
Ive been struggling lately with the liar in my head but these songs youve been putting out recently have been so empowering. Thank you for releasing these.
Having this come from an actual clinical THERAPIST who has been in this place and struggled with many of these same thoughts and feelings is awe-inspiring, I can’t see any other therapists pushing such a meaningful message. Thanks for this one Jake, Matt, Kooper, Wonitta, and Kyle! ❤️
Last night my mom told me to get out of her life. I know I have a better life than some people but I’m only a teen so I can only take so much until I break. You saved my life again citizen soldier. Thank you. For helping all those people out there we are all truly grateful for your band. So thank you.
I never thought I would find a song like this I have been going to depression and my sister help me get through my hardest time keep up the good work💙
This band always seems to post when I need it. Just spent the entire day yesterday crying because it was my birthday. Im broken but not alone in my feelings.

Citizen Soldier, you never fail in making songs people need to help them and i thank you from the deepest parts of my heart ❤ please, continue making music like this. Sometimes its the only thing i feel can help people like me. Thank you for making me feel not so alone ❤
This Song is so important, it has so many different meanings. its not just some cry out of emotions, its so much more, the lyrics speak about society´s approach on depression, about ignorance, about your core needings, but its also a love letter to all the people that stay with us when we feel like breaking down on all the noises in the world. to all the people that maked the choice to be a human light house to their friends like jake did: thank you so much, you bring love in the world in a way that is hard to descripe.
When you said "I need someone to prove I'm worth the pain" hit me so hard I love this song I really needed it because I am NOT worthless.
I honestly remember feeling this way for a long time, but I was lucky to find a really good therapist that will listen to me and doesn't just preach about what I need to do to fix myself
First minute and i cryed for the first time in over 10 years...
it's ok to cry 🫶
What a powerful message. Even more so for anyone who relates to this. Thank you, lots of light on this path
This explains so well what I wish I could tell people. If I tell someone an issue, in passing or otherwise, the last thing I need to hear is "you need therapy", because, at least in my eyes, that shows that they don't want to be bothered and don't care. That they would rather pawn off the way I feel than be there for me. It only shows that I misplaced my trust by telling them in the first place.
For awhile I felt like I was the only one who felt this way, but it's like a breath of fresh air to hear this, read everyone's stories, and be reminded none of us are truly alone. Thank you Citizen Soldier for once again putting into words what I could never say 🧡
This song is the perfect explanation of what I have never been able to put into words. I'm so tired of only saying two sentences about what I'm going through before getting my ears talked off for two hours.
If there's one thing that rings true: If you can't love someone at their worst, then you can't love them at their best. This song fits the bill. While it's nice to talk about your problems and figure out how to handle things in a healthy way, sometimes you just need someone to be yourself around.
No matter how bad things are, things will get easier.
I lost both my parents in less than 10 months. Things sure have sucked. But I’m still standing
The minute I saw this drop, I dropped everything I was doing

My beautiful dog died today, this song helped a little. Thanks Citizen soldier
Citizen soldier, deserve a fkin nobel prize man, making the world bareable
I just found someone who's simply there for me when I need him. He's got his pains and bad experiences too, and we are there for each other. Im so glad I found him and hope we can be together for a long time because we might be the one for each other who helps the other heal their scars. ❤
I also had a therapist who didn't care much about me. It became a rant session where all my emotions and bad memories got back to the surface and came out of the sessions depressed. Her motto was just do it...
I'm happy I eventually have a good therapist who does it a step at a time at my pace. If she notices me going red she stops me. Tells me to take a breather. ❤
I just started therapy again in the past few weeks, and this really hits. My first therapist years ago ended up ghosting me twice, and it's really hard to trust this new one. It definitely feels like I want someone to hurt with me, see me break, and love me just the same. Thank you for this.
Another great song added to my collection. Keep up the awesome work!!
