I don't know you but I loved your honesty... there's always hope :) big hug from a paramore fan
Thank you 🥰 I appreciate the love.
I feel like you need to check out the full album After Laughter....
That whole album is emotional all in different ways. The album is called After Laughter and the whole I guess concept is the right word is in Hayley's words "After Laughter is about the look on people’s faces when they’re done laughing. If you watch somebody long enough, there’s always this look that comes across their face when they’re done smiling, and I always find it really fascinating to wonder what it is that brought them back to reality. So, that’s what After Laughter is." And the I guess moto/slogan of that album is "Cry Hard, Dance Harder" With most songs being upbeat but lyrically super serious and sad. I highly recommend listening to the whole album. On or off camera is up to you it's a masterpiece.
I am going to be hyper attentive to that transition now!
To add to this, the whole album was written around the time her and Chad Gilbert of Nee Found Glory got divorced. The lyrical content is heavy on that, and a lot of the instrumentation is upbeat and dancey.
I agree
This whole album is therapy in some way, honey. I feel every song in so many different levels. I cried a lot with the lyrics but they helped me understand many situations from a deeper perspective also.
I really hope you can overcome what you are going trough or at least deal with it in the best way possible. Keep strong. Sending all my positiveness from Peru to where you are.
#Pool y #26 are a couple of the songs I can recommend from After laughter.
what you said about not being able to Tell somebody how you really feel about something is frustrating.
hi amanda! first of all: you are very brave and strong! mental illnesses are such difficult and silent battles so watching someone talk about it loud and clear is a good reminder that we are not alone in this. stay steady and may the music help you on this journey! a tight hug from a paramore fan
and these headphones are very cute 🥺
I am so glad that it is reminding people that it is okay to feel and struggle and not always be Mary Sunshine. Thanks so much for all the love 💖😻
Such a beautiful honest vid. Thank you for being so vulnerable and honest with us and I hope you feel better soon. The part about good and bad times as an ‘ebb and flow’ really resonated with me. It’s so true that we can be so caught up in the bad times that we forget to embrace and trust the good times- I know I’m guilty of that. Really lovely vid thank you!
I love how you’re vulnerable and can be honest and just show raw emotion. Thanks for your reactions and hang in there girl you are strong! Keep fighting
Please react to Hard Times and Rose-colored boy
I hope you react to the whole album! Thanks for your honesty
I'm so glad I stumbled across your reaction. Your vulnerability and genuineness were really impactful, and your words about how the highs and lows of life are normal and we shouldn't fear being happy hit home. Over the past six years I've been in a seemingly never ending rollercoaster with high highs and very low lows. For a while I wondered what the point of happiness was when I would always fall back into a depression, but your words are already helping to change that mindset! I am so sorry for the loses you are going through, and words can't heal those wounds, but know that even though many of us are complete strangers that we as fellow people care about you and appreciate you.
Your comment lit my world up 🥰 We got this together!
Its crazy that people said Paramore became more basic and poppy and that After Laughter has no substance, but if anything I find After Laughter is more blatantly open and honest about mental health. Yeah you can dance to it but they lyrics are rather raw and real compared to there other albums
People always have to have something to whine about.
Stay strong girl. You are loved. Mad props to being "Real"
Thanks for sharing. If you have a minute come watch our music videos - We're an indie rock band and think you might dig our tracks. Appreciate it.
I know so well about playing fake happy. This song speaks to me a lot. Don’t ever apologize for expressing emotion. Let it out. We are human.
You should watch the happier songs from Paramore then. Like "Ain't it fun" and "Now"
Thank you! I am from Russia, a person with a different mentality, but I am very supported by the understanding that there is the same person who thinks like me
Don't know you physically. But I love you spirituality
I know this might be late but I have high functioning autism all because of what my mother did she was a criminal and ended up in prison because of it as she didn’t turn up to court so yes understand I have the exact same problem going on from the uk and everyone in the comments are here for you we love you we care about you even though I can’t physically hug you I will virtually a BIG hug coming from a 15 year old x❤ new subscriber 💘
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO 26 or Hard Times
A+ reaction!! I love Paramore and I loved this video!!
Loved the honesty. Do check out "Hard Times" by Paramore too.
Hi! Please react to Paramore last hope live if you want. Thanks for your time
Thanks for reacting like this. We all feel the same when listening to this song
You are looking awesome amenda❤️❤️❤️
Me gustan tus reacciones son muy honestas. Sigo a Paramore desde hacen unos años, realmente recomiendo que escuches todas sus canciones. Todas tienen un mensaje, y en lo personal cada una tiene una historia en mí vida. Gracias por la reacción y les agradezco a ellos por compartir su música con el mundo! Saludos desde Argentina.
Don’t ask me I feel and don’t believe me when I’m smiling
I shared and the person I tried to share with called me a bum and instead of getting mad or sad I felt it was better to just drop this person like a bad habit
please do react to shadow of the day by linkin park
Love your heart in this made me cry and feel so much on your level I just subscribed to your channel today but I must say I feel for you and myself with this reaction
💖
Fake Happy is how I live my life.
Omg u re so like me. I love u
I like being alone but hate feeling lonely
Thank you, Amanda, for sharing your heart!
My wife, my 19 year-old son, and I all live with a different form of Depression. For my wife, she is Type II Bi-Polar with intrusive suicidal thoughts. Plus, she has had to deal with losing both her mom & dad separately over the past couple of years. My son has Depression & Anxiety to the point where it's hard for him to make decisions. Meanwhile, I live with ADD & Depression where & try to get through to better myself to help take care of my family, but feel like I keep failing them.
But, the three of us, together, hold & help each other. We listen & try to be there. And never let one day go by without letting each other know how much we love each other. It doesn't magically solve anything. But it helps us deal with what is going on & work on getting better.
Every person with depression should be so lucky as to have such an amazing unit 🥰
🥺 I’m catching this at such a perfect time. Thank you for this video reaction. It helps more than you know 💕✨ Sending hugs!
💖 All of my love. Message me if you ever need to talk.
I am going through this very same situation, (yet again) in my life, and have been having this conversation a lot lately, how people say they love me, but they really only love the "happy" me who used to be there but isn't anymore. I have to pretend to be happy for people to stick around, and and it makes me angry that nobody can accept or understand me for who I am, even if who I am is not fun and happy. I have BPD, chronic major depressive disorder, terrible anxiety, and a host of other tag-a-long illnesses, and a life of pain and little else. I've realized that at some point, my life will end by my own hand if nature doesn't do it first. There are two people left in my life I can almost feel "safe to be myself" around: my mother, who is 83, and one last friend who hasn't decided I'm too depressing to be around (I was literally told that this week by a lifelong friend I never thought I'd lose and just did). Almost everyone who has ever told me "I'll always be here for you" has left because I am inconvenient for them. I can't believe I made it to 51 years old without realizing I really can't trust anyone. This upload obviously hit home for me. I'm not being fake happy anymore, and the result is that I am almost completely and totally isolated and alone. So much for "reaching out" to someone. They don't want to hear it.
I hope that you will feel safe with us here too. You never have to pretend in this community. Here is the link to our Discord where you can come hang out with us and we will never push you away.

I hug you Amanda
I'm like you...I listened to Paramore back in the day and just never heard anything about them since. The song is spot on and what you said about the social media fake outlook people present is exactly right. No one wants to "air their dirty laundry" so we all present what we want people to see. I've gotten extremely good at pretending that I'm ok....I'm so good I even convince myself sometimes. It always catches up with me though. Sorry to hear about your struggles. People ask how you are doing because it is what they are programmed to do but usually they don't actually want to know. IMO they usually only ask because they are hoping they can talk about themselves.
No need to pretend here. We'll hold space for you no matter what you're dealing with. 💖
I was told that I have a fatal autoimmune disease. A lifetime of dealing with depression, suicidal ideation, etc suddenly didn't feel like it was there anymore. Like 2 minutes of shock, then all of the chains that were put on me were so easy to throw away. Screw everyone elses needs and endless expectations of and from me through my entire life suddenly became super easy to say no to everything. I refuse to do a lot now when I used to push my body to please everyone else. Let them figure it out themselves without me NOW because I want to be happy until I die. I want to do as much for everyone I love in a different way to balance that I am not going to give of my soul even if I hurt to do it...instead, I will show them how to do it. I have bad days, but I try to remember at least 3 happy memories as fully as possible, what made them awesome, what sensory memories are connected to it. I have 3 tiny goals a day, simple, get out of bed, eat, etc, because achieving even small goals gives you a sense of well-being and achievement every day. Then before I go to bed, 3 awesome things I experienced THAT day, no matter if its as simple as petting my dog, getting my brother's dog to give me a lick, whatever...because focusing on the good things in your worst days can help you change your mentality from overall negative to more positive and uplifting. It actually worked and I use the "Rule of 3-Things" when I start having a hard time.
I do something similar, wonderful suggestion!
I deal with depression everyday but my coworkers think that’s why I’m so good at dealing with other people in the restaurant industry
I hope you are taking care of yourself!
Dude, hope you got consent about that story at the top of this vid. Kinda humblebragging
What story are you referring to?
sending my love to you❤❤
🥰
They ask u how u are but u just have to say that ur fine but ur not really fine u just can't get into it bc they would never understand. That's the mood
You never have to say you're fine here if you're not!
Hey everyone goes through problems. I spent 8 years in the military and it took years for me to admit that I had PTSD. As a man I thought it was embarrassing for me to ask for help. I just drowned myself in tears and drank almost a bottle of booze a day and was constantly bedridden. But, my roomate thank GOD helped me and pushed me to seek help. I did and I feel a ton better. There is nothing wrong with asking for help. If someone is willing to open the door; just walk through it and accept it! Cuddle up with someone; talk and get warm trust me it will help! You are a woman it doesn't matter if is even another woman just ask your friend to maybe sleep with you in dark times for comfort! Like call her up and say "hey can you come over i'm not feeling good. come sleep with me!"
What I can tell you to try and help you though is... stop watching and listening to depressing stuff! You know why? Because it's going to keep you depressed. It's like a slippery slope. Like a domino effect! You need to watch something funny! Comedy! Trust me it works but I know it's easier said than done when you are feeling depressed! Just force yourself! Also have a family member or a spouse hold on to you when you are in dark times. I know it's terrible. But there is always help out there when you need it! Don't JUST RELY ON MUSIC! You need human interaction ok! Just accept it!
Sometimes the more emotional stuff helps me process complex emotions and feel more validated and less alone. I definitely have real human interaction and watch lots of funny or uplifting stuff too!
It's get difficult for sure... So many times... Sometimes... Every day... I guess, we have to be are own warriors when no one's around. But yes, when I talk to someone it helps.. and I am stubborn when it comes to talking to someone... But then it happens automatically if I can't keep it in. Thanks for this video Amanda🙏
I actually have a knight statue in my den to remind myself that I am my own knight in shining armor. :D
@@MentalAmanda that's wonderful. It's good to have something that reminds you.
Also, just a last note from my end. I won't trouble with too many comments 😅 I have mainly two role models in my life...when I think of them and what they've been through, I manage to pick myself up after a point of time with the fact that if they can keep fighting the good fight, then I should be strong too, for myself and my family. They keep me going even when I don't feel like getting out of bed or negative thoughts hit me hard. Cheers.
@@PatriciaSadriWriter I have role models too, real and fictional. Such a great tool!
I've actually gotten into the habit of saying "pretty good" whenever someone asks how I'm doing. On one hand I don't know if they would genuinely care if I told them the truth about how I was feeling in that moment. And on the other I don't want to burden someone else with my problems. There's so much going on in today's world, and I just my problems are as bad as what others are going thru. But I do try and help others who are struggling any way I can.
You never have to lie here when I ask how you are!
@@MentalAmanda thank you so much❤️
Here I am crying again to this song
Yay! A cry buddy!
I really love your reaction, you should react to Hayley Williams album 'Petals for Armor' and 'Flowers for Vases'
I hope that your doing okay you beautiful women I felt horrible seeing you cry I wish the best for you
No need to apologize at all. I've never attempted, but I've struggled with anxiety and depression for most of my life, even though I wasn't diagnosed until college. There are days when certain thoughts seem far more tempting than they should, and even when it doesn't get "that bad", there's always still constant self-talk that makes me question not only myself but everyone around me. This album ("After Laughter") is my favorite album of all time, yet no matter how many times I've listened to it over the last 4 years, I still can't get through this song without crying. So definitely no need to apologize ❤ I always say that I'm happy for anyone who can listen to this song and come away without feeling anything, or even come away confused, because it means they've never felt that kind of pain and emptiness and emotional exhaustion before, and they're lucky as hell.
Paramore is my favourite band and I'm really thankful for your raw, honest reaction to the song. Not everyone has been to that dark place that you seem to have managed to crawl and dig yourself out of and sometimes we just can't find the words to express our thoughts and feelings during then. Which is why when you teared up upon hearing the lyrics we just know that you've been flooded and overwhelmed with the memories of yore.
Anyway, the whole album is great but for a change of pace, I hope you would also react to Mr/MMe by Loïc Nottet if you haven't. It's in French so I would recommend watching a video with lyrics!
We all here listening to you. and you're not alone. Don't ever give up. :)
From Paramore, 'let the flames begin' and also 'fences' are good songs to react to I believe!
We’re with you all the way Amanda. Parafamily ❤️
Please don’t ask how I’ve been don’t make me play pretend. Life is actually good for me now but I’m waiting for the depression and bad things to happen soon
I know what it's like waiting for the other shoe to drop. The best thing to do is try to fill your happiness bucket while you're in a good place and know that bad days come for everyone. You've fought it off before and you will do it again.
Don’t tell me how to feel. If I don’t want to smile and be happy it’s not on someone to tell me to. In fact it makes me angry and do the opposite
@@MentalAmanda it never hurts to tell someone that I might not understand what your going through but please tell me so maybe I can help
@@nickwalker2438 That was certainly not my intent in any way and I apologize if my words came off that way. I'm a HUGE proponent of crying when you need to cry, finding healthy outlets for anger and never ever judging emotions as 'good' or 'bad' or trying to change them.
this video was so beautiful thank you so much
I don't know you but I cried watching you crying because I know how you feel. You're strong, you're brave. Sending my hugs from Brasil.
Thank you for the love
more paramore pls
Stay Strong
This song saved my life! Like, it ACTUALLY did!! And I find it interesting how after a while I refused to listen to this song and the album itself because it helped me through such dark times that, later on, listening to it would only bring sad feelings.
Whenever you get the chance to, it would be nice if you listen to “Quarter Past Four” by Avi Kaplan, this song and “Fake Happy” literally kept me away from suicide.
Music can be so powerful. For me, it was Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park. Glad you found something to get you through the dark. Hope you're finding healing!
hey, thank you for being so open and showing your humanity. stay strong, you have such a beautiful light. take care of it and you!
sending you looovee❤️
Thank you so much dear 💖
Amanda, you're so strong. I greatly, greatly appreciate your vulnerability in this video. I love the mission your channel has taken on, I love your personality, and all the commentary you give to this song. I wish you all the luck in the future with your mental health, the people in your life, and your channel :) You earned a new subscriber today
You're going to make me cry again. Thank you 🥰
Sending care and hope🙏🏼 check out last hope by Paramore and/or Violent Bounce by I See Stars!
Also after hearing you talk about fake happiness I think you’ll get a lot out of Hansha by Oceans Ate Alaska

@@MentalAmanda okok amanda but i can promise you this.... after you see this video you will go crazyyy over them !😉
I didn't know what to expect when I heard this the first time. I cried when I heard the lyrics because I was tired of on this fake persona that I was showing everyone. Some of my friends don't even know that I struggle like this. Thank you for your honest reaction.
Well you are free to share whatever you need here!
@@MentalAmanda thank you❤️
