    after hearing this song and the depth of the lyrics, the next nothing more song you do should be fade in/fade out.....just an unbelievable message....i know cause of you mentioning the lack of a father figure in your life that this song could get to you.....i know it gets to me since my father passed away a few years ago and wish we could have gotten to a better place in our relationship that we were working on. thank you for being you bro and being genuine in your care for others.

    I actually got to meet them after a show and they are some seriously down-to-earth people. Johnny Hawkins has gone through a lot of emotional turmoil in his life. I love them because of the intensity of their lyrics combined with the technicality of their instrument work. "God Went North", "Just Say When" and "Fade In/Fade Out" are some of their best songs. You should honestly just do a full album reaction to their last album "The Stories We Tell Ourselves".

    My “Jenny” in my life is my sister Jessi (I actually replace the word Jenny to Jessi when hearing this song) she has had a long history of drug abuse, she was my mother’s medical power of attorney when she was on her death bed, she wnded up prematurely pulling the plug on my moms life so that she could take the life insurance money and use it to feed her habit. My other sister and I didn’t get to say goodbye to my mom. We never got to have a funeral for her because Jessi ran off with her ashes and was on the run from the law until finally getting incarcerated a year ago for drug charges. This song weighs so heavy on my heart because I love my sister through all the pain she has caused my family

    Well I guess I'm sharing my story then:
    I was officially diagnosed with severe clinical anxiety and depression around 3 years ago when I was 20. However after multiple therapists the latest few all concluded that they believe this is something I've been dealing with and hiding from others and denying to myself for upwards of 9 years. I'm a gay male and a lot of my issues stem from growing up in an environment that of both toxic masculinity and a dislike of LGBTQ+ people from certain family members. Whilst things have improved with family, I still have major self confidence, self esteem and self worth issues, as well as general issues with anxiety and depression. Due to these problems I've attempted suicide twice, both times in 2016 and both times someone was there to stop me. If they weren't, I doubt I'd be typing this comment now.
    Things are improving somewhat and therapy has been going really well recently, but I still have little self worth and worry about the lack of a future I feel I have. I can't hold down a job because I panic constantly when it comes to interacting with strangers, especially if there's conflict, and unfortunately the current UK job system makes it hard to find jobs that aren't sales based when you've had limited experience in other fields. This always lead to my depression becoming worse because I felt unable to do something as simple as have a job like most people and felt worthless. I felt constantly sorry for my partner of over 5 years who has to support us both, and whilst he says he doesn't mind and knows I'm struggling, I often think he'd be better off without me. But he's the light of my life and without him I feel I wouldn't have a reason to keep living anymore. I'm hoping to try and get back into work when this course of therapy ends, but I'm still scared of the future.
    Thanks for this video Alex. I adore Nothing More and this song is the one that hits me hardest because I honestly relate to Jenny in some way.

    I haven't talked about this for years and haven't felt any need for it until now when I'm having a down period in my life.
    I grew up with an alcoholic mom and a father who escaped her by spending all of his time out in the garage, Everytime I tried to approach my mom while she sat in the kitchen to drink and smoke she yelled at me to get the fuck out of there because she wanted to be alone.
    This has affected me in such a way that I never feel welcome anywhere even if I were to be invited. I always step aside not to "disturb" the people in my environment, I always feel out of place in social events and just want to escape back home so I can be alone even if I'm enjoying it.
    I noticed how it affected me when I was around 18-19 when I got into tears when my ex gf told me I was welcome in her house. That was the very first time I ever got told that I was welcome anywhere.
    For a couple of years I tried to ignore the past to focus on the future, but now at 25 it has come back and I always feel awkward when outside and don't know how to behave in social environments..
    Crazy how your childhood can affect your life even if it was 15 years ago...
    Felt kinda good opening up about this, thank you Alex for a great video!

    I knew I had issues with my over all happiness and attention but never did I think I was a walking mental illness.
    At the age of 16 I became a father and dropped out of school and at 19 my own father passed away in his sleep.
    I am now about to be 23 with 0 credits in high school and I have spent the last year alone in my room trying to simply be happy. naturally I got into drugs, went as far as meth but I had a good look in the mirror one day and decided meth just wasn't helping anybody. Everyday I am torn between feeling like a failure and knowing I was born with things that hold me back. I fear I will end up in the streets and be another statistic but I am lucky to have a family that loves me and will do anything to prevent that.
    I guess I am sharing for those who feel like no one else really gets it, or maybe to even help others feel better about them selves.
    I would like to end with 4 things that help me in rough times when overwhelmed with an emotion in case it may help others.
    1 Drink a tall glass of cold water as fast as you can
    2 Take an extreme shower, hot or cold.
    3 Take 3 deep breaths. In your nose as deep as you can and out your mouth just as deep.
    4 Which i know can be the hardest: Simply walk away
    Best of luck friends

      That sounds really tough brother. The most frustrating thing about mental health diagnoses, is that they all tend to be co-morbid; meaning that if you suffer from one, you're more likely to suffer from more than one at the same time. It all has to do with your personal and unique brain chemistry, and that's why it takes FOREVER to find the right meds that actually help. It sounds like you've found some healthy coping mechanisms, and good on ya. I'm still working on that part. Keep on keeping on my dude.

    I can see the song really got to you. I want to say that I’m happy that your mother fought her addiction with alcohol. It’s an incredibly difficult battle, and I’ve seen too many people not even fight it. And hey man, the support goes both ways. We’re all here for you, man. We got your back. Keep up the great work.

    When i got out of the military I struggled with ptsd and depression that I hid behind a bottle. Anybody struggling with a mental issue or substance issue, you're not alone. It took 3 trips to the hospital from alcohol poisoning, including flatlining for a total of 4 minutes, to realize I needed help. AA and my gf at the time saved my life. Don't let your demons drag you into the abyss, speak up, get help. It's worth it in the end.

    My mental illness started when I was 8. Now I am 23 and I wouldn't call this life. No matter who is by your side, no matter how much they want to help. Most of the time, they can't. You are alone in your mind, with the horror inside, and when you hurt ppl who loves you, it makes the hell in you burning brighter. When they say "I am here for you" it's a lie. Over the years, I learnt that most family members want you to get better only because they are too scared to face grief. They don't actually care that you could scream for days from pain, as long as you fight to protect them from missing you.

    Leave the world and lose it all
    This was what he felt toward his sister when she began destroying those around her. "It was really just a challenge to my sister Jenna, because it had gotten so bad that she was literally harming my mom and my dad emotionally, physically, and financially, because of how deep down the dark road she was going," he said. "It was sad to say, but I had gotten to a point where I would rather her either kill herself or decide to get better and just take steps in the right direction... sink or swim.

    I've been depressed since 2009 started when I was 12, I've had 2 attempts nearly 3 but my cousin helped me to get help before I could try, but the Hospital, the meds, the therapy, none of it really helped me, I was still depressed after all of it, and I still think about trying it again almost everyday, one thing that I think about just to hold on a little longer is a quote from the TV show 'Supernatural' at one point in S7 one of the main Characters Dean is talking about how hard it is for him to keep going on and then another character Frank tells him "decide to be fine till the end of the week, make yourself smile because you're alive and that's your job, then do it again the next week" don't know why that scene just resonated with me, but every time I watch that part (rewatched the whole thing 7 times so far) it reminds me to just keep going just a little longer, I still have family and people that need me, so I just keep trying to take it a week at a time. But it isn't easy half the time I get off work and just cry.

    My "Jenny" was my Dad. He was bi-polar and I've watched him slowly kill himself with drugs and alcohol my whole life. He did the relapse, rehab, repeat many years ago, but finally chose never to get off the downward spiral. I used to think he'd be better off or we'd all be better off if he'd leave the world and lose it all. No more suffering for him or my family. He never could see anything good in his life. 3 months ago, he really did leave this world, and I would do anything to have him back. All the pain of him being here was nothing compared to losing him to his addictions. Experiencing this song live at their concert last year meant the world to me. I never thought that the very next summer he'd be gone. I wish I would have spent less time angry and more time just trying to appreciate the person he was underneath all his pain. Love and strength to everyone going through this. It's so hard. #iknowjenny

    I used to struggle with depression too for years. I used to be cutting myself.. I felt that no one actually cared about me and that nobody gave a fuck if I died... It kind of started to turn around when I realized that I needed to stop trying to look for approval and appreciation from other people in order to feel happy and valuable. I read a quote one day, and I don’t remember it perfectly, but it basically said that what others think of you, and how much they care about you does not define you, and that you can and *should* value yourself first, and not base it on other people’s opinions about and attitudes towards you. This really liberated me from always trying to please everyone, and changed my way of thinking. Of course my depression didn’t just go away, it was a long journey out of it... but now I’m consciously forcing myself to think positively when I feel it’s trying to creep back in. Depression is a very dangerous creature, it feels like he’s a comforting friend, but then it drags you down like quicksand and before you realize you are neck deep. Be careful with it. #IknowJenny

    Tell your mom you love her today. If she went through addiction and beat it, I don't think people who haven't gone through that truly understand how difficult that can be. Yet your mom made it through and raised you. I've been following you for many years. You're a successful lawyer today because she beat her addiction and was able to raise you. I'm not saying it didn't come without its challenges or that you weren't instrumental in that success. But if she never beat that addiction, you truly wouldn't be where you are. Most people don't have the strength to ever overcome their demons. You have a truly special mother. Make sure you continue to appreciate her.

    This song really hits home for me because when I was 12/13 years old I was being bullied due to a car accident that ALMOST took my life along with being abused by ex-boyfriends to the point to where I was self-harming, wasn’t eating, stayed in my room more than usual, having Suicidal thoughts and acted on ALOT of them but never Succeeded, fell into a very dark depressing state of mind, began showing signs of bipolar disorder and PTSD. It was horrible. My dad know nothing about what was going on, but my mom knew very detail. It got so bad to where my mom took off my bedroom door and bathroom door (she put a sheet up in the doorway for the bathroom) and my dad was asking questions and my mom just said,” I found out somethings that she is doing that I’m not very happy with. It’s being handled. She’s grounded. You take care of the bills, I’ll handle the behavior.” When I really wasn’t. My mom and brother had “shifts” so that way I was on 24 hours Surveillance. I put my mom though hell, and she was still there for me. And this song kinda hits a little more different when your name IS Jennifer and your family does call you Jenn, Jenny, etc. when I finally got out of that state of mind and started drawing, coloring, singing, dancing, etc. my dad was finally told half of what was going on, and ever since both of my parents have done what they could to make sure I don’t slip. It’s been very difficult to not slip, but somehow, someway I’m getting through. I am 7 years sober as of August 5th, 2019 on self-harm.

Due to that, I was devastated financially, and almost lost everything. Depression and anxiety hit me hard, because trying to find a new job was almost impossible. There were some days that I really felt that I wanted it all to end, that nothing was worth it anymore. Somehow I fought through it, and I'm glad to say those thoughts are no longer with me.

For instance there was another Halestorm fan on this mornings chat, and we managed to exchange about 4 messages between us. I'm pretty sure that the set up that Alex is using is a lot easier to keep track of things because he has made return comments to 3 or 4 chat line comments that I managed to insert into the flow.

    I'm going through depression right now and take a lot of prescription medicine, but what really helps is watching your videos, listening to that great music, feels like we're all listening it here together makes me a bit happier. Thanks for posting more of that wonderful music. Love to y'all.
