I wish there were more songs about having a mental illness. There are so many of us out there and yet it always feels like we're alone in feeling this way. Songs like this help me realise that I'm not the only one struggling with mental health issues. We're all together in this fight for our lives.
one day you will be fine and you will see your comment here and after that, you will realize how strong you are because you have overcome your problem, BIg hug.
I have schizoaffective disorder which is schizophrenia and bipolar depression. I relate to this song 100%. Idk if a person suffering from schizophrenia wrote this song, but it's very accurate and everything in the lyrics is exactly what I went through, especially in the beginning stages b4 I was formally diagnosed and started on my meds along with therapy. I didn't know why at the time and really thought I was losing my mind. My mom kicked me out of the house and siblings stopped talking to me for 2 yrs bc they believed I was using drugs. When I got diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder 2 yrs after, they welcomed me back home and apologized. I try to forgive them but I can't help but have resentment towards them for not believing me. Now I suffer from schizoaffective disorder, PTSD, anxiety disorder, insomnia, self harm and suicide ideation for everything I went through while on the streets. Thank u for posting this song. New sub here.
I can soo relate... Lucky for me, everyone around me was supportive, but the one thing to remember is how you were before. It's just another problem, so that's all it should be to you. Don't let others define you by it, and don't forget that yourself! I never had schizophrenia or bipolar (just depression/anxiety), but it can be really hard sometimes. But just know that everyone makes mistakes, some smaller and some bigger, but mental illness isn't one. Keep going! Keep achieving! If you've gone through this much and can still comment about it, you must be a great person. I know you are.
Hey mam remember you are loved. I've suffered from severe treatment resistant depression, mania, and anxiety. Know you are strong, and that you are loved.
I firmly believe that "mental disorders" can either be eliminated completely or greatly improved if people would simply address chronic nutritional deficiencies (principally trace minerals) and do some detoxing, particularly of the heavy metals (e.g. Al, Hg, Pb, et al.) which can cross the blood-brain barrier and cause great harm. Brain chemistry is very tricky business. Indeed, that blood-brain barrier exists precisely BECAUSE the chemistry of mentation is so sensitive to outside influences. The ebbs and flows of delicate neurotransmitters at the neuronal synaptic level need to occur naturally and not be affected by exogenous chemicals which can accumulate to potentially harmful levels. I've recommended Youngevity's 90ForLife program to friends over the years who were experiencing a variety of mental issues and they all improved within a relatively short period of time. Further improvements came about for the few who subsequently focused on gentle detoxing protocols. One even went so far as to have a number of intravenous chelations done and she eventually recovered completely from severe anxiety attacks, debilitating migraines, insomnia, and suicidal ideations. Now 70, she remains mentally healthy today, having adopted an 80% raw, organic, diet of principally alkaline-forming foods (fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc.) and eliminating the sugary beverages such as sodas. You also need to know that the high megahertz and low gigahertz frequency bands being used in wireless devices can also seriously affect moods and cognitive processes as well as increase the risk of brain tumor development. So, my friend, don't be too hard on yourself. Any blame for your issues lie far less with you than it does with a medical-industrial paradigm which poisons our bodies and minds and refuses to acknowledge the true causes of all our sufferings. Long-term management of physical and mental "dis-ease"is their business model, not cure or prevention. I wish you well...
I’ve always enjoyed listening to this song whenever it would randomly play on a show, commercial, or radio. It’s a catchy song. But all of a sudden, this feels like my life’s theme song these days. I don’t think I’ve ever FELT a song like I feel this one now. It’s crazy how life experiences can change everything, even something as simple as how you view a song.
i suffer from mild social anxiety (i like to call it soxiety) and this song hit hard. My anxiety is slowly going away thanks to my friends but everytime i get anxious, i always try to not think of people around me and just mind my own business.
This song is so meaningful, especially for those who have a mental illness. I have not been diagnosed with mental illness (other than Autism) but this song is a masterpiece. 🙏
Sorry for your loss. I am an old fart at 43, so I think I have experienced a lot of things, both good and bad. But sometimes I feel like driving into a tree, or toward an oncoming semi when I am in the road.
When this song first came out, I was 12, and liked it because it was catchy. Now I am 32, and the song really hit me a WHOLE lot of differently after the 20 years of shit I've been through. It now resonates with me, as I have been there before. It is also, currently, an earworm song, stuck in my head. 😅 I walk around the house singing this song to myself, and my 10yr old is asking why and I'm just like, hopefully I'm giving you a better life that the one had until I had you, because I want you and your brother to always be happy, and never go through what I went through. And then he tells me I'm a good mom, hugs me and goes to play with his little brother, and my world rights itself on that.
Came here to listen to this song because I need something to relate to. But then I read this comment and it’s exactly what I need. I’m a mom too and I wish the same thing for my daughters. Thank you for writing this 💕
This is the perfect song for those with a big problem. It' doesn't even have to be a horrible problem, just something that's always on their mind, always bothering them. It's a sad song. But is it a depressing song? No. It certainly hits hard, but just as certainly empowers. You can do it, and you *will*. Because that's just who you are, always pressing on, always achieving.
This song helps when I’m having terrible anxiety. I’ll put this song on and then touch my fingers one at a time to my thumb and it calms me down. Idk why but that’s what works for me, and my anxiety is bad, there’s been times where I was ready to call an ambulance because I felt like I was going into cardiac arrest. It’s a scary feeling and I’d nerve wish it or any mental health issues on anyone….🙏🏽🙏🏽
I can surely say this song It's about a person with schizophrenia. They hear voices many times manipulating their own mind. It's sad their only friends are shadows because once people know they are mentally ill they disappear. At times they are good, ok, and bad. And when he makes a reference about taking him away, he means a hospital awaits for him because he can't longer take it. When he says, "stays a while and you'll see a different side of me". That's because when he is well he is a very different person, a person who is happy and who he really is. "Dodgin glances on the train" it's another sign of schizophrenia. They feel like everyone is up to get them, or everyone is talking bad about them as if they know them. When in reality no one know them. It's a very sad song. It tears me up when I listen to it. People please don't give up on someone who has a mental illness.
I agree with your analogy of this song. I too feel it can apply to someone with deep depression as well. I feel like this is me right now. I truly had a breakdown over 2 weeks ago I just got out of the hospital a few days ago. I am still fragile and feel like I will fall apart at the first sign of any major stress. Hugs to all fighting the mental health demon, depression is no joke
I've suffered in the dark laying next to my ex husband crying so unhappy and unwell. He never knew or if he did he didn't care. So glad I got strong enough to get out of that relationship he was breaking me .❤❤❤😢😢😢
Now u have to LOVE YOU FIRST THAN ANYONE cause the more you love u the more value yourself u gonna learn having a good partner is a complement not a necessity. God Bless you always and stay STRONG and WISE
Me pretending to be okay when I'm not. Me pretending to be calm when I get hurt. Me avoiding my true feelings. Me avoiding the reality.. Now, I dont know me.
It is a struggle. To always hide yourself from others for so long, so they do not see. Eventually, you get lost somewhere along the way. You've spent so long pretending to be fine, wearing that mask as armor, to protect yourself. I know. That was me. I still catch myself doing it on occasion. But it took me years to find myself again. To be me. To be able except myself for my highs and lows and inbetweens. To be open. But it IS possible to find yourself, to drop that mask, and just be YOU. I was medicated for a year, before I finally decided that I needed to find myself. With my friends and some of my family's help I was able to do that. It was and is a long road, but I got there, and you can too. Much love and respect to you. You are loved, appreciated, and I wish you all the best in finding you again.
Hello stranger I dont know, thank you for feeling comfy enough to trust us with this information. We want you to know we're here for you and you will not be judged here. We hope your life gets better. Sending love and positive energy ur way 💞😇
This song is special to me. I met another soul like me. We appeared whole but we were broken. We love this song. My heart aches but when I listen to that song I will always remember that awesome night we spent talking until the morning hours, I miss you Nikki but we will always have that night
When I heard this song, and started crying singing it, was when my adopted mom knew I needed help, found out I had depression and PTSD and got help. I still cry when I hear it but I sing it soooo much harder now
Singing this song while crying is not easy. My life was just a big mistake . I was just still alive to feel this fucking pain 😭 im not brokenhearted and this is not homesick .. heal us oh lord 🙏
I was diagnised with Bipolar last year and THIS song that I've heard my whole life suddenly made sense. I had a breakdown in the shower because I had no idea and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
This song played on the radio the day after I found my mom dead she committed suicide , and it’s like it played to give me peace of mind and it’s special to me more now than ever
I remember hearing this song on the radio a lot when I was a child, I never really understood the words back then. But for the past few months I’ve started listening to Matchbox Twenty again and now I’ve gained a better understanding and appreciation for this song. Still one of my favorites by M20 🫶🫶
@Rob Kelly Thomas Never will quit listening bc I know I am not by myself. I let my fiancé listen to this song and he thought it was written about me. 😅

Did took me a long time to find this song and first heard it before but it makes me what is out there and if I want to accept for who I truly am because I do think of myself as someone who can take of myself and things and would save anything no matter what
I cry solo with songs. I get hugged solo by songs. I dance solo with songs. I grieve and cherish precious memories that the good never lasted long enough... If only for one more second to be there again... If only Forever and a Day were truth...
It's ok to feel "a little unwell" every once in a while, and it's ok to "feel a little impaired" all the time. Let it be. Let yourself feel. It's ok. You're not alone. ❤
I just found this group of people and i hope they are my friends now..... this song always haunts me when im alone, and i dont wanna go back to crying at night at this song anymore 😭😭😭 hope they keep me somehow
I have a loved one that kills this song and how deep this song hits dealing with mental illness. And here in Fiji mental illnesses are not taken seriously 💔
Every word relates to every bit of me, still I'm talking to all the people on my walls, ceilings and window. And I talk to them when I'm outside now walking around.. I'm so lost with everything and no clue as to what's going on...I'm lost everyone. I can't do this fight anymore...I'm to old, strength is gone
Can't you think about a plan?Do you have one for us all?Will we bé happy one day all together is this even possible?Are WE all as twisted as i might have been at my worst? Who are you?Who am i?Who are my true parents?Why this family?Is there any better?Can i have better ?Again who are you and do you even exist...what dors existing mean?WE all seems so alive ...thoses questions have been on my mind EVERYDAYS
