    She nailed the feelings of having a mental illness. And she did it in a beautiful, powerful and extremely honest way. She's torn between the side effects of Lithium and how it alters the personality. She is telling us about her inner conflict. She doesn't want to go back on Lithium because of the side effects, which will make her emotionally numb. If she doesn't take them, she will slide back into that dark and painful place within herself "Here in the darkness I know myself". People who have suffered from Bipolar/Depression for an extended length of time, know how easy it is to slip back into that dark place inside ourselves. It almost becomes our safe place because it becomes the only place we know. When we can't cope or become overwhelmed, we isolate ourselves in that place. She wants out of the prison she now resides in within herself but she knows if she goes back on Lithium, she will become emotionally numb. A place of nothingness and as she see's it. Living in sorrow is better than existing in a state of no emotion. If you have never walked in the shoes of this illness, it will be nearly impossible to understand the difficulty of trying to pull yourself out of it. The illness is a brutal beast that sucks the life out of you and at the same time, you have to work extremely hard to help yourself change the way you think about everything. There is no aspirin for this. So many people lose the battle because they have fought it so hard for so long and lived in the despair and pain that they have lost all sight of hope and they begin to think that this is how they will live the rest of their lives. An unbearable thought. And generally if you announce any intention of harming yourself, more often than not, you won't. It's the people who keep it to themselves, the quiet ones, that are in the most danger of dying. If you want to die, why would you tell anyone that you're going to do it? It kind of defeats the purpose. And it's not the person killing themselves. It's the illness that kills them. The only difference is that it uses a person's own hand to do it. People are under the assumption that an irrational person can make rational decisions. As for those who say it's a cowards way out or look at what you are doing to those you left behind, I would tell you that you should try living with this for 10 or 15 years and see if you feel the same way. As for the families that are left behind, I think most of the people with Bi-Polar or severe Depression, honestly feel their families would be better off without them. They carry around so much guilt for their illness and they feel like a burden to family and friends. Sorry bout the lengthy comment, but I have very strong opinions and passion on this subject. People with any type of mental or emotional illness are made to feel embarrassed or ashamed and a good many of them don't get the care they desperately need. It's tragic.

      Bourne Supremacy It's what they add to the natural drug that's frightening. To obtain the medicinal results the doctors want, it causes a high risk of toxicity in the blood stream. I do know that they have decreased the usage of this "drug" due to the high risk of toxicity. There seems to be a side affect with any medicine we are given. The question is......is it worth the risk and will you be the one who ends up with the unwanted side affect?

      MissDistarr you hit every head on the nails. Living with Bi-Polar and severe depression is the worst thing in the world. There are days I feel such darkness and pain. I have been blessed with my wonderful family and friends but I try to explain to them they can't help pull me from the darkness. I feel over drugged and it doesn't even help me through my blackest days. My cousin killed herself at 40 yr old because she just could not live in the darkness anymore. She wasn't a coward she just didn't want her husband and children to be stuck in her darkness. By killing herself she said they were released from her darkness and she wants them to find happiness with another wife/mother. She cared more about them than she did about herself. I miss her so much. When I feel like I am sliding into the depths of hell and want to check out I remember her. I have to be her voice now and try to help those like us. Sissy I will always remember you and be your voice. RIP

    Amy Lee's music is timeless. .as a bipolar individual most of my life, I have an intense emotional connection with the lyrical content. Some may not understand, but this artist actually inspires hope through her seemingly sad songs. They are reality and a great outlet! Will forever be a supporter of her efforts n success in digging deep to express herself and touch others.

    There was a time when I felt such a connection to this music.. even now that I'm in a better place in life. I remember how I felt when listening to evanescence. I was in a deep dark hole that I felt I'd be stuck in my entire life. With the help of my friends/family/God I'm SLOWLY being brought out of this hole and I've nearly reached ground level. But after I get out of this hole I still have another skyscraper to climb. The only way to really beat depression imo opinion is to find your true self. You only find your true self by experiencing new thing and releasing your comfort sheel.. imo...

    After hearing this song (and having it explained to me) I totally feel it. When I'm on my bipolar medicine it feels like I have no energy, I feel inferior to everyone else and I just feel down. When I'm off it I feel like I could conquer the world but I get angry easier and I don't listen very well. The decision of not being able to stop myself from hurting the feelings of those around me or sacrificing my personal happiness to prevent that is a tough one.

    Now that I've really had time to think about it I really understand what she's saying. I spent the first 17 years, 8 months not knowing who I was until I started taking Lithium. It made me depressed to realize who I am because when I started taking it it enlightened me enough to see who I really am. Crazy as it sounds, I know. But then again... What really liberates us and delivers us is the fact that we cannot ever stop changing. Don't want to lock me up inside.

      Terra Somarah No you aren't being rude, you can take lithium in tablet form and sometimes liquid form. You are correct, lithium is a mineral it was first discovered as a chemical element in 1817. By the mid-1800s, there was great interest in "urate imbalances", which were thought to explain a variety of diseases, including mania and depression. It is now mainly used to treat bipolar disorder.......

      All I'm saying is even if Amy didn't write any lyrics, Ben wasn't the only one; David wrote them, too. Plus, I know for a fact that Amy wrote most if not all of Bring Me To Life, (lyrically):
      Reporter: How did that song come about to be written?
      Amy [Lee]: Ben [Moody] had the musical idea, with the programing, the guitars and everything. And then I just took it to my room, by myself, and wrote the lyrics and melodies and it all came out actually very, very easily, I was - I remember when I finished like the first, like I guess I wrote the whole first couple of verses all by themselves um, and I was just completely proud of my lyrics, I was like 'these are the best lyrics I have ever written' you know and I brought to Ben, I was so excited. But um, then we had a really big problem with the chorus, the chorus wouldn't come together. We wrote probably um five different chorus and recorded them, you know as demos." - Capital FM Radio Interview in 2003

      @graygrimm2230 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I felt the same way. I felt that my parents didn't see that I needed medical help, and I still feel that way. I still haven't forgiven them... and I know that's bad. but I can't bring myself to. I truly understand how you feel. but believe me, killing yourself won't get you anywhere, trust me, I've been there, gone through that, but... I would've regretted killing myself because I have more now than I ever did. and I feel good. I feel really really good. so it does pay off. going through this personalized hell pays off.

Among other dangerous or suicidal or promiscuous things it all seems so exciting. Also you can't speak for everyone because everyone reacts to drugs differently. So sure it may seem that way for you but it can't be stated like its some kind of fact.

    Thank god I was never given Lithium for my bipolar disorder. They gave me lamictal, cymbalta, klonopin and zonegran ( i don't even think that is a fucking mood drug) .
    The Zanogram made me lose extreme amount of weight. While the Cymbalta cause me to be not hungry. The withdrawals from Cymbalta are horrible .. think of it this way you know the side effect of your bowels get when taking pain killers.. Imagine that in withdrawal form, but having to go to the hospital for help.
    Finally on the right meds. Still on lamictal and klonopin, but now have wellbutrin and it's worked for my depression.
    This song deals with that struggle to remain yourself , but getting better and fearing losing yourself, especially when your in the arts your mind thinks you need your sorrow in order to be good and that's not the case at all.

      Zonegran is an anti-seizure medication. But they may have been using it to try and counteract adverse side effects from other medications you were on. Unfortunately it is fairly common, get one medication to fix your problem, and two other medications to fix problems caused by the first medication.

    Lithium is also used in medicine that helps with epilepsy. I know the battle, and I listen to this song to empower me over my PTSD, depression, anxiety, anger, and epilepsy.

    Can’t talk about bipolar and schizophrenia because I don’t have the experience. I do know what they are and I’ve seen their manifestation because I work in psychiatry. I have experienced depression. Depression can’t be cured, it can only be understood. It’s a cycle of life. It’s dark and scary because it makes you feel empty, gives you anxiety and suffering. But emptiness is the nature of life. What we’ve been conditioned to see life as is not the truth. That’s why we expect too much from life, then feel dissatisfied, disappointed and slip into darkness. Cant say much in text but embracing deep dark emptiness is the cure for depression. It’s not scary when you understand depression. Embrace life, embrace pain, emptiness in all nuances, you’ll stand above your depression

    I've constantly been battling depression. There was one time which was 2 yrs ago... I got bullied so bad I almost completely gave up. My mom sent me to get help all they did was throw me in a mental hospital. Never helped btw if you were wondering. I'm constantly everyday battling depression. Doctors think medication works all the time truth is it doesn't. I am still getting bullied. But thank God after the hospital I grew enough courage to stand up for myself. Now anytime I see a bully I go off on them and they eventually quit.

    Lithium is a pill for Bipolar that makes you feel like how she is saying in this song, it's not about cutting it's about how she felt on Lithium . Just Saying, Stop saying it's about cutting because obviously it's not , and I know this because my mom takes this pill and I have to see what she goes through on this pill everyday .

    Man, I always loved this song but it resonates differently now that I'm taking medication to manage my depression (which was caused by several things, including childhood trauma).
    I feel SO much better on my medication. My insecurities and trauma triggers used to make me spiral into really fraught head spaces, and my emotions would overwhelm me and make me lash out at people I love. And then I'd be kind of shocked by my own behavior and emotional state afterwards--it was like Jekyll and Hyde. It's a big part of why my most recent relationship ended (even though we're still good friends). I would also have a lot of days where I wouldn't feel anything, or I wouldn't know what emotion I was feeling, and BOY was it hard to do my schoolwork.This is all in addition to seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist. I fully recommend both therapy and medication if you're having a hard time with your emotions and/or mental illness--I really wouldn't suggest asking your regular doctor for antidepressants or other similar meds. There won't be the same kind of follow-up and monitoring that a psychiatrist would provide in order to make sure the meds are working for you and not making you feel worse. Talk to a therapist and a psychiatrist about it, they're the professionals. A therapist can also help you work on the problems that contribute to your depression--like, medication can help you feel a normal level of emotion, but it's not going to magically cure you of your self-esteem issues, or your phobias, or make your trauma less painful. It just makes it easier to deal with those things.
    Something else about this song is the idea of letting go. Change is scary, and becoming a better, happier person requires change. It's really tempting to just stay the way you are right now because it's familiar, and familiar things often feel safe. But you have to let go of the worst aspects of your old self if you want to improve. For me, a lot of who I am right now is informed by my childhood traumas, and because of those traumas I have a lot of behaviors and reactions that are unhealthy and kind of toxic. I need to work on understanding those parts of me, and then letting them go, so that I can be happier and so that I can have better relationships with other people. "I wanna stay in love with my sorrow / But God, I wanna let it go."

    I used to listen to this song when I was maybe about 9 or 10 years old, imagining my characters I had created in my head along with it and.. I didn’t really grasp the meaning of the song, or that she was singing about the effects of lithium. I just thought it was some emo song. Now that I’ve got diagnosed with major depression and put on Fluoxetine 45mg, it’s became more clear to me about the meaning of this song. So difficult to be caught up in wanting to feel alive but also not wanting to hurt others around you., my heart goes out to anybody dealing with any depression 🤍🤍..

    I have depression and anger and I'm mentally ill so they tried to put me on lithium. Did not work very well. Oh I wish I didn't have depression. My picture of Rapunzel shows how I act when I listen to these songs. Amy Lee your my idol.
