May is Mental Health Awareness month. What are some songs that inspire you and your emotional health?

"Being alive, but not living..." is so many of us, for these last four years.

[lauraburns]

It's so strange that the most kindness comes from strangers, instead of loved ones

[darkhero]

To anyone who's emotionally hurting, I'm sorry. We'll find a way to get through it. I know it's exhausting, but no matter what, we must keep fighting!

[Nola]

I believe another sign that you still have emotional trauma and need to heal is that if you still get triggered, I have been on a spiritual journey for the last year and it hasn' t always been easy, i' ve learned some really hard lessons, i' ve cried, i' ve awoken and i' ve healed alot, sometimes I think i' ve completly healed then something will trigger me bringing me back to all those bad feelings, anger, hurt, rage, resentment and then I think wow I guess i' m not totally healed yet, it' s a process and it won' t happen over night! I send out lots of Love to those going through this, it' s not easy 💗❤️💗

“Wanting to forget and mentally escape what or who hurt you but can’t” is another one☝️

I'm still dealing with my wife's passing two years ago. We were married for 35 years and life is just not the same without her. It's not easy, but I'm trying to move on and find my way in this new life.

“Living in a surviving mode” 💔
Nothing is more painful than having someone you love the most, hurt you. When you’re still in this emotional trauma, yet they’re moving on in real time before your eyes.

3:40 the worst is when you push through the fear and get into a new relationship with someone completely different and they treat you exactly the same as the last person and say the same things to you, which just makes it feel so much more true, all the horrible things they say about you

1. Being alive but not living 0:42
2. Being disproportionatly sad or emotional or angry or more 1:44
3. You can't stop replaying the situation over and over 2:41
4. Self growth stunted by fear 3:25
5. Sleep schedule? What sleep schedule? 4:38

I thank God I survived the emotional and physical trauma I went through end of 2021 and part of 2022. Twas the hardest and most painful time of my life. I have never cried so much or been that suicidal. Now at the acceptance/healing phase. For all of us who have been through emotional trauma, we will get through this. Stay strong!

[ChrisEastwoodComedy]

Reading the comments, it’s actually reassuring to know that so many others are going through a lot of the same emotions. Thank you for making these videos. They’re very eye-opening when it comes to pinpointing specific things that maybe weren’t as obvious before.

My trauma will never heal. Does anyone else feel this way too

[chaidailene]

i swear every time i watch one of your guy’s videos i literally just end up sobbing bc it feels so nice to know that someone finally understands how things really do get. thank you for making these types of videos :)

I'm glad I found this channel.

And nearly 4 years later, still trying to heal from trauma (grandfather's death).

[KGnome]

The biggest challenge I bet many of us face, not just me, is having a really rough night, where maybe you cried or many other things, but then the next day…the world keeps moving and you need to too. I personally have an issue of waking up in the morning for school, picking up my feelings of the floor where I slept, and going to school. Pretending you don’t feel like shit.

[daisys.tulips]

I cried along the whole video and it breaks to realise that even though how much I'm trying to get better it's coming to ground 0 with every passing awful incident, I've got serious trauma issues, thanks for verifying ❤️

[khalilahd.]

Stunted self growth is my biggest issue when it comes to emotional wounds and definitely something I’m still working toward overcoming 💛

[GaryGeat]

One of my biggest emotional wounds was caused by shutting myself off of falling in love. 15 years ago, I experienced one of the hardest breakups in my life. Since then I have held on to that emotional damage, which ended up causing more damage to my confidence. What helped me heal that wound was telling myself that it wasn't my fault and that I'm worth much more.

Nice to know we’re not alone going through life with so much pain and trauma is so hard ❤❤
