"Basic functionings becoming such a chore" damn that hit deep. Feels like depression is getting the best of me

[AssassinPummel]

Sometimes, saying “I need help” is the hardest thing to do.

[morphee]

When Citizen Soldier understands you and puts into words what you feel better than your therapist...

[delulu_knight]

These song, they might just be the only thing giving me hope, because I know people relate too, and are strong throughout. Thank you Citizen Soldier, for helping me.

"I'm scared you're getting sick of me"

It's frightening to me how this line extends beyond just a therapist. I struggle with this horrendous thought every time I meet somebody. The thought that as the days pass, they all get "sick and tired" of dealing with me or that I'm just not interesting to them anymore. I've lost both friends and family with this assumption in my mind.

[CarolinaForever]

The whole song wrecked me, but especially "it's hard to honest/all I can think about is shutting back down/ what's wrong with me I should be better by now?" it captures that fear of starting therapy or starting to dig into the hard parts in a way that I don't quite have the words for.

[idathorneofficial]

This gives me "Would Anyone Care" vibes, and I can't express how much I love this😭❤️

[maji-chan]

To write something this heart felt, you have to stand in the loneliness of hell itself. These lyrics...give hope. Lives are being saved

[nermkun]

The first few seconds and my heart started to cry...Thank you for writing these songs.

[Luximinata]

"I'm so tired of tearing the trauma back open, am I better off, better off broken" something that anyone tries to live without remembering... 🤟🩹❤

[heatherlanchester]

I have the lyrics to Reason to Live tattooed on me. People ask about the words all the time. I tell them you guys are my heros. You are my therapy. You're music is why I am alive

[rickthericker]

'I should be better by now, ' is so me... People don't pretend To be Depressed, they pretend to be Happy...I've been in therapy for 20+ years and have had at least 35 different therapists. I have found that what I thought was the worst in me that I was fighting to fix was just my healing because it's a process. Allow yourself to hurt, cry, grieve, and go through the roller-coaster of emotions. That's part of the healing, and it takes time, but it will get better. It's never going to go away, but over time, you'll see and recognize the triggers and negotiate the external issues with your internal issues and be able to differentiate the two. Healing is Hard!!! I will never give up, and I hope you won't either....

[TerristatAA]

"I know you said these thoughts are liars, but I'm don't want to live this tired"
I felt this line so hard.
It doesn't matter how often i get told not to listen to the dark thoughts, and that i shouldn't let the negative thoughts have free reign, but god you can only ignore and fight back against them so long. They wear me down so much, and every day it gets harder and harder to try and want to do better.

[louiswolfe]

Why does giving up to your demons easier than telling people around you about your feelings?
Why is asking for help the hardest thing ever?

"Why is healing so hard?
Im so tired of tearing the trauma back open"
My favorite line

Y'all's music is the real therapy.

[tylerjcalvin]

"Some of you care. None of you cared enough. Neither did I and I'm sorry. There's nothing more to say." The line "what would I be like if they cared a little more" reminded me of that quote from Hannah Baker ❤️‍🩹

[idisen]

"Why does numb feel like my only friend" Feels really relateble now

[B.NicholeLewis]

THIS speaks so much to why some of us remain so broken and feel like talking doesn't do any good. Finally a song that says exactly what I've felt about "therapy" for so many years. Like my breakdowns can only happen when it's convenient for someone else's schedule and no one is ever there when I really need them. After years of terror from family threatening to "lock me away in an institution with padded rooms, " I just don't want to tell anyone about anything anymore.

[nova]

Wouldn’t it be so cool if we could just get several months to only focus on dealing with our trauma then go back to living life? To get the time to actually process and not have to put our emotions on pause when we are acting (masking) as functional adults?
Citizen Soldier, your lyrics make me feel like you’re in my head and it’s amazing to realize we’re not alone in feeling alone, that there are people who also want to connect with other humans and meet new friends

[Cody-ggku]

Just wanted to say thank you to Citizen soldier. I am a combat Veteran battling chronic ptsd and im also fighting moral injury. So I have been in a very dark place. I think I am better off broken.
