- If you, like most of us, never had Happiness 101 in school, let me be your teacher! Learn the EXACT steps I took in overcoming clinical depression, addiction, self harm and going from ready to end it all to happier than I thought possible. amandawebsterh...
I have a special project in the works that will change the mental health world. Patreon pledges will be going toward that (and ongoing projects.) Patreons get priority song reactions, twice a month live streams, personalized pictures, exclusive reactions and a peek at upcoming reactions. EVERY SINGLE DIME GOES TOWARD MY MENTAL HEALTH OUTREACH!!!!!
/ amandawebsterhealth
I wish I were doing this reaction under different circumstances, but this is being done today in memory of Brian Lee , a member of my Patreon who tragically lost his life to an overdose last week. His sister Staci asked that I listen to Maybe It's Time by SIXX AM featuring Corey Taylor, Joe Elliott, Brantley Gilbert, Ivan Moody, Slash. The opioid crisis, the mental health crisis, they are all intertwined. It IS time that we stand up. That we speak out. That we do better. RIP Brian. You deserved better.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. 💔
It's all good I'm in a good place now just trying to win the war of life
Please check out Hollow by Reap the Light. It is about overcoming domestic violence, PTSD, depression and the like. I think you will get a lot out of it. From someone who fights my demons everyday, I wrote this song to cope. th-cam.com/video/nUGUMscKs6A/w-d-xo.html
@@tonybolen6841 What if it's an adventure and not a war? Like a video game!
@@MentalAmanda well you still have to do your best to try and stay happy that's what I meant about it girl thank you so much for your channel and strength I really appreciate it ❤️
Nikki Sixx's book The Heroin Diaries was the 1st book I read in the 1 month of my recovery while I was in lock up. His stories really helped change me, it took a while but I realized "Life is beautiful" - Sixx AM
I love this version of that song.
Amanda check this out too.
th-cam.com/video/JSeClaex_EA/w-d-xo.html
What a great book. It helped to stay in my recovery.
It's on my list actually!
I would highly recommend it. For something that won't take as long, you could listen to the Heroin Diaries Soundtrack from start to finish because it kind of has a story arc through the songs. You may also want to do some reaction videos to some other Sixx A.M. songs like Accidents can Happen, Skin, or Life is Beautiful.. It is hard to find many hard rock / heavy metal songs that deal with difficult issues, but are positive and uplifting, but they have some good ones.
All BS
Thank you so SO much for this dedication to my brother Brian. It rips my heart that Brian was ready to heal but he lost it. I love you Amanda for being here to help those who need help. All the stats break my heart from the babies to addiction killed more ppl in year than all of Vietnam. Everyone reach out you do have the guts. Make Brian one of the last to die from addiction in his memory PLEASE
Staci, no words could express my sympathy or empathy. So sorry for your loss. I'm around if you want to talk, may not get back immediately due to work & time zone differences, but I'm here. Sending much love your way ❤️
❤🩹
Brian will always be in my heart and I will never stop fighting in his memory to stop these epidemics 💖
@@MentalAmanda i love you even more than i did yesterday
I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless you 🙏
Every musician in this song has battled some form of addiction. It is an outward reflection of a mix of all of their stories
This song is one of most powerful songs I’ve ever heard. I lost my baby sister in Nov. 2020 to drugs! She was only 33! I wish I could’ve saved her. But I couldn’t. I survived that life before she got into it. It’s too late for me now. She’s gone! Addiction is very very real. But so is Recovery! Don’t give up, Don’t ever give up! Life is So Beautiful. All we have to do is just look around and see all the great things in this life! Great reaction to this masterpiece. I’m proud of you doll for overcoming your own addictions. God Bless You Doll!!!
Amanda, thank you so much for this. Every artist in this song has struggled with addiction, and become an advocate for recovery. This is truly a song that those new to recovery need to hear so they are not feeling alone. Much love.
This song, and especially this version deserves so much more recognition.
Thank you for showing and sharing your vulnerabilities and compassion, you inspire those who are at their lowest to rise again. God bless you.
Sixx AM is amazing,i have gotten reactors back into them by requesting them lol. My favourite is Life Is Beautiful wich also has some good lyrics and feels more uplifting. That song comes up just as "life is beautiful official music video" by Better Noise Music,but in the description it says Sixx AM. I got nothing but admiration for thoose who has been deep into it,but managed to battle through it. Because i lost some friends.....childhood friends that was heavy addicted. 1 was on good recovery but got neglected by the doctors and he went back to old sins,all to get a good night sleep so he could start working the next morning for his uncle. He was so excited over getting to work again, he had to be calm enough to sleep,and he first contacted doctors to have something safe to sleep on,but they totally denied him anything and just left him to himself. Well,he never woke up that night or the next morning,because old acquintances gave him bad shit that his body couldnt handle anymore. His uncle found him in the couch with a needle in his arm. Many friends of his are pissed off at the local heath care here,as they cant bullshit themselfs out of the fact that they indirectly killed him. They feard he would OD on sleeping pills? He only asked for 1-2 for that first night..... instead of helping,they "kicked a desperate man while laying down". Of course he would go back to old sins,in a desperate attempt to get enough sleep before his big day.
Yes,he got heavy into it,he ended up selling to other people (only bad seeds when you get hooked on drugs,everyone just in it for theyr own winning,they dont give a rats behind about you) He got notourisly wanted by the police across the land,for his actions. But people got him addicted,then they forced him to sell for them to get his needed fixes.
He was a really good guy,just very easy to lure into shit... It was first when he got caught that he realized he had to get his shit together. And he was actually on his way back,after some long good recovery,when what happened happened. If i only knew that he lived at one of his uncles cabins just 5-10min walk from me. But i had no idea he was here at the time,i got all that information AFTER they had found him. So i often think,im told im good with words.....maybe i could have made them realize things better,so they would have given him something to sleep on. The guy was in a follow-up program ffs,they could have sorted something out. And he would have still been on this earth today.....
Sixx AM is an amazing band
"Life is Beautiful" is probably Sixx AM most popular song
That band change my life 10 years sober.
My heart goes out to those that are still struggling in addiction as someone in recovery myself. Your message is so strong thank you!
I've been addicted to feeling depressed for years and that song gave me the strength and courage to get out of this hell I've been dealing with for so long
Your channel has helped me immensely in my sobriety journey. This group is wonderful for keeping me on my path to staying clean. Thank you for all you have done.
Proud of your sobriety! You got this and we'll always be here with you!
Hello From Toronto Canada Glad You Made It Through Amanda
Damn girl you got my old ass crying I've Lost to many friends over the years to suicide and over dose my thoughts and prayers go out to all of them
Just keep the faith alive and believe
That song means alot and that one was good it has lots of meaning and it shows people need help just a little time and help will go a long way
It's a few time since I discovered your channel, but watching your videos is always a deep emotion for the feelings you send. You are a great soul in the shape of a beautiful woman. All the love and blessings from Italy 🤗💗
I call on patrons and subscribers to request 1 of 9 spectacular songs for Amanda to react to. All are perfect for her channel. Pink - Perfect (the clean version), Death Angel - Lost, Death Angel - Veil of Deception, Guano Apes - Open your eyes, Five for Fighting - World, Collective Soul - The World I Know, Alter Bridge - Blackbird, Tremonti - Marching in Time, Shinedown - Monsters. All offer a lot to discuss. Thanks
Thanks Amanda , grateful I'm sober and clean 11-26-07 that song always touches me and tears me up too!😊
I know all too well what addiction can do. I just celebrated 20 months clean and sober on the 17th of December and I will be celebrating 21 months clean and sober on the 17th of this month. It took me 31 years to get to where I am now. I love you, my sister in recovery. Whoever says that somebody isn't worthy of help needs to be slapped fast, hard and repeatedly. Crying is nothing to be ashamed of, sis.
Brian, you will be remembered and you will never disappear.
This is one of my favorite bands, and the fact that they got Ivan Moody on here is amazing. I saw Five Finger Death Punch in concert about two months ago, and the power was just amazing there. On December 11, I celebrated 16 years of sobriety, and just to have this music with people that I’ve been through it is truly amazing. I love watching these reaction videos, and can’t wait to see more. Have a great day! Merry Christmas or happy Hanukkah if you celebrate those.
Hi Amanda. Thank you for your reactions. They are so genuine and real. I'm so proud of you that you are comfortable sharing your story. Glad to hear you are getting better. Keep fighting girl. Never let the demons win. Yes you deserved a 2nd chance and glad you got it and are helping people deal too. You are such an inspiration. Always remember the demons lie saying you are worthless and are alone. You definitely are not either of these. Stay strong. Never forget you are loved!!!!
As a veteran who battles the demons of addiction and depression, this song always makes me cry because it reminds me of everything and everyone I've lost due to my addictions
Thank you for your sacrifice. We can lose a lot to addiction, but once we come out of them, we can be a beacon of light and give back to ourselves and the world!
High school made me mentally a broken person, I realized it after finishing university last year… This band helped my all through - from high school til now
Hello Amanda. Keep up the good work and spreading the word that everyone DESERVES a second chance. I currently work in Law Enforcement 22 years and First Responder Firefighter EMT for 20 years. I have seen addiction. It's UGLY and it's sooo sad seeing the people of my community and surrounding communities get addicted and most have no idea what to do or understand what is happening to them. I have helped some who asked for help and they are in recovery right now. One of my assistant coaches for youth football (I'm also a youth football coach) is a NA counselor and him as well was a addict and he's been clean now for 10 years. I would love to reach out to you sometime and tell you stories on addiction and recovery. Your video was emotional and I can see your facial expressions when there were "key phrases or words" that were said. Anyway Amanda love the video and I hope to hear from you sometime.
My email address is in the video description. I always love hearing addiction and recovery stories!
Staci, sorry for the loss of your brother Brian.💔 I don't know the band, but a great song choice.
OMG..... I just happened to stumble across this girl Amanda and her videos & I’m glad I did. Bcuz she’s f#
Everyone deserves a second chance in life. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Every musician/singer/artist on this song has overcome addiction of something. All of them. I take inspiration but im struggling as i lost both my parents this year. Dad in march, my mom passed in April...i know its time to stop but i have nobody left
I lost my mom in 07 and my dad in 05. I had no siblings and my friends were 1000 miles away. The lesson that took me so long to learn is that my parents only left me physically, but they also left me with years of memories and lessons. Their energy can never ever leave. Now I aspire to share their love and wisdom with the world and that helps me press on. I made this vlog about grief that you might find helpful:
th-cam.com/video/hSUmrO7AXOM/w-d-xo.html
Today there are lots of love and people to help you. To give people a chance it just the first step someone has to take to see the light over bad
Check out the band KIX singing the anti-suicide song 'Don't Close Your Eyes'!!!
You Are A Beautiful Woman Who Deserves A Happy Life
The movie snow babies is a very sad but eye opener and this song was for the movie and everyone that just need to hear it
We all deserve a second chance sometimes more chances than that. I nearly died three times at various points in my life and the last time it was time because maybe it's time for us all...peace, smiles and much love to you all
Just found your channel. Thank you so much. I personally lost my family, my job, my leg, and my life (flat lined four times in the hospital) to alcohol addiction, and lost my nephew to drug addiction.
I came out of it a better man, and appreciate life like I didn't before. Happy to hear your story also.
Very proud of you!
It took losing my brother for me to break my alcohol addiction the night he died I tried to drink the pain away but once I sobered up I realized I had to quit my drinking or I was gonna end up in a grave right next to him I still struggle with the depression of losing him to this day but I refuse to give up I will continue to push forward no matter how hard it gets I will no fall back to the old me
Sorry for the loss of your brother. Strength and peace to you going forward.🙏
@@metalmark1214 I appreciate it not gonna lie it hasn't been easy for the first 3 years after his death I had a recurring nightmare of the phone call and me arriving to the scene of the crash I got to the point where I wouldn't sleep because I couldn't handle that pain anymore
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you're on the right healing path. Keep fighting! I believe in you!
@@MentalAmanda it hasn't been easy at first I wanted to just end it all but I couldn't bc of my of my 2 half brothers and my half sister I had to stay strong for them while to this day I still struggle in silence
@@tylercoley8353 You don't have to be silent. Share your struggles and your story here. Message me. There are SO many other people struggling that would be happy to talk!
So sorry for your loss and Stacy's loss. I am a drug and alcohol counselor and I have a few former clients die every year due to overdose. One of my jobs as a counselor is to try to break the stigma people have against drug addiction and mental health I am so proud of you. I love your channel. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much! I'm going to need some counselors for my big upcoming project if you're interested in participating!
Fantastically heartbreaking 💔 needing help so much. Hurts this one
Your one of the only people I have meet who actually gets mental health and the reasons why and all those dark shadows we drown in. I don't see the point burdening you with my story when I'm out the otherside. But can see you are still quite emotional. I don't recommend you react to these as nobody knows these two songs. But tom chaplin : harden heart and see it so clear. He's the lead singer of keane and wrote these two songs about his time on drugs and deep depression. The frame of mind you are I know you will enjoy. It hits to the core. I hope you do get to check it out. From a stranger in new zealand just passing though. Life's about moments. Together with time we use to paint our picture :-)
You absolutely aren't a burden 💖
Hi Amanda, I would like to share my addiction story. I have been addicted to opiates for over 20 years. I have been clean for the last 3 yrs. It started with surgery and was given pain meds. Then had to have more surgeries. I wanted more drugs I was taking 260 a month. It was so hard to throw them away. I still want them even after 4 years. I am 64 years old and spent the majority of my life high on drugs and alcohol. Just want to say thank you for your channel.
Proud of you! That's incredible!
It's time to heal not hate
I love this song!
I know what I’ve went through isn’t even a drop in the bucket compared to what some other people have been through and going through now. But I suffer a lot from having my back broken twice at work with both pain and depression. Some days I just feel like digging a hole as deep as I can, climbing in, and pulling the dirt in on top of me. I don’t want to deal with anything or anyone no matter how important the matter is, just the feeling of impending doom is hard to deal with. When I first heard this song I had it on repeat the whole day and every time the phone would ring it sent shivers down what’s left of my spine.
You can drown in an inch of water just as you can drown in 10 feet. Your struggles are just as valid as anyone else's. I believe in you that you will find healing.
I for one am glad you survived and your here now. I've been sober for a long time now. I've had my struggles her and there. As of late been struggling even more. (Near death experience (not substance related)) I can assure you I won't fall back into that life. I can't figure out how and why I survived. As side effect of my recent struggling comes a depression that sometimes I feel I won't be able to shake. This particular reaction got to !e a little more than usual. Theres slot of wreckage in my past I haven't dealt with yet. Maybe it's time to start taking care of that. Maybe I can find an inner peace I'm think I'm missing.
Thank you for all that you do.
I found some stuff I haven't processed either from my past. IT'S TIME! LET'S DO IT!
You have all the right to all the luck and happiness in the world.
My story maybe sounds funny but it's about a substance that is catagorized as a harddrug, but is never shown as one. Perhaps because it doesn't cause much death and dispair. I am autistic and always low on energy. When I was 10 or so I got my first cup of coffee. It gave me energy and I guess without knowing I began drinking it as a self medication I guess. First with milk and sugar, than without the milk and later without the sugar as well. 1 cup became 5 family sized pots of coffee with 12 cups a day and not enough energy. The tollerance you build makes that you need more and more to feel anything drinking it, but man if I had a day with less coffee.
Finally I got back to almost no coffee and I can enjoy it, but with strict rules of how much. But always vigilant on what I drink.
I'm sorry for talking about coffee and thank you for this reaction
I’ve been sober for almost 20 years and it’s still hard to say no sometimes. If anyone has any kind of addiction,please,please ask for help. If I hadn’t ask for help when I did,I wouldn’t be here today. Please stay strong and and safe✌️❤️
I am happy you are still here with us and I am SO friggin proud of you for 20 years of sobriety!!!!!
I kept thinking about Taylor Hawkins during this song. I knew he had overdosed on heroin in London in 2001 and always believed alcohol aside, they were a completely drug free band until I recieved the shock news. Even 2011 a decade after the london incident he said apart from regular smoking he thought he was the picture of health. Apparently he was found to have had 10 different substances in his system including marajuana, and other opioids like anti depressants. I can imagine Dave Grohl taking part in this song had Taylor passed earlier but I just couldnt believe it. They only just performed a one off show at the start of march which was at a venue only up the road from the hospital I was in for my operation a week earlier. Would have loved to have gone to that one but had to recover. They were doing an epic tour of south america when it happened, I was watching on TH-cam their performance in Chile and the crowd was just crazy as anything. Now Taylor is gone. I would like to think the band can play one day again, but so much grieving to do, and if they can find another drummer but, whoever they find they wont have the sort of drum style Taylor had. I maybe sounding hopeful but I cant imagine Dave giving up music forever. We wont know anything for a while bad for now, just a shame what happened.
All of those artists are sober too while this was made!! 💜💜
I'm not trying to glamorize substance use by any means but I'm confident it saved my life. I was nine years old the first time I attempted suicide. I grew up in area without resources or support and you didn't talk about trauma or mental health concerns. I became addicted to prescription pain medication after an injury at the age of 13. It helped me repress and escape my issues until I was old enough to develop coping mechanisms. It's still an ongoing battle, and probably will be for quite a while. But I'm still here to fight.
I didn't ask, nor seek, to become addicted; many others don't either. Those who do choose are seeking relief and need our compassion not our condemnation. We need to end the stigma surrounding substance use and realize that most addicts have serious underlying mental health issues that are beyond their control. All life is valuable. Everyone deserves another chance. If you believe that anyone deserves to die or to suffer you need to take a closer look at yourself.
You're right in that nobody goes in wanting to be addicted, we just need an escape! I'm a big advocate of teaching age appropriate coping skills as we grow up so we don't feel like substances are our only options!
As one who is struggling bad I am grateful for you. I'm at my wits end and know we can al beat this demon.
Please feel free to message me on IG or jump on the community Discord if you need to talk: discord.gg/Yrm8GhDG
I need to talk to you, struggling myself, what's your ig
As someone who is a drug baby survivor i love your reaction to that stat ...

Oh yes Nikki Sixx is part of my favorite band motley Crue. He struggled with addiction himself. I me suffer from extreme depression and anxiety. I have my highs and my lows. I am working on the other mental health problems that are going on in my head. I have so far tried to commit suicide 5 times in my life. I'm all looking for a distraction evrymoment so I do not want to die and leave. That how I am but I am currently working with mental health services workers at this time. So I don't bore you I'll let you go . Btw you look gorgeous
That fifth attempt will be your last! I know you don't want to die. I promise there are other ways to stop the pain. I'm proof. Keep searching, keep fighting!
PS. Since you're a MC fan, I actually had a really long talk with John Corabi here on the channel! You might like it.

Amanda thank you for the acknowledgement and acceptance that I am not alone with mental health problems. It is very hard to find people out there that understand what mental health is. And maybe one-day we all will hold hands and look towards the bright light in the sky and become together as one race with peace and harmony.
Yes you finally did. My favourite song. I’m in recovery and I’m going to meeting for my drug addiction. I’m 30 days sober and clean. I got my 30 days key tag tonight. Brian we miss you. I struggled with my drug addiction last night but I stay clean and I call my sponsor last night. Thank God I didn’t relapse last night.
Stay strong, you can do this!
Wow! 30 days! That is AMAZING! That first month was definitely the hardest for me. You got this! I believe in you!
I saw the movie on motley Crue some of it is real sad the drugs ad stuff but you can trace there music by time and place and what they were doing
Ivan Moodys voice is god tier
In some ways I’m happy when I hear them say that other people don’t deserve yada yada yada…. Because it tells me that they haven’t been through tough enough times to get them down. But that doesn’t mean others DON’T deserve it! Different people have different thresholds and tolerances to different things. Don’t judge others because you haven’t been where they’re at or where they’ve been! When Narcan became available I got some to keep with me. You never know when you might run across someone who needs it in your everyday life! What if that was YOUR child lying there dying in front of you? How do you know someone didn’t put something in their drink or something? Most of the time, yes, it is self inflicted. BUT NOT ALWAYS! Err on the side of caution!
You should do a reaction to little drops of heaven by the band pretty maids. It a really great song. Keep up the great work your a warrior!!!!
Struggling bad here, love to get your advice
I'm here to listen. You can reply here or email me (in video description)/send me an IG message (@mentalamanda).
thank you
Nikki Sixx is a lyrical and lusical genius
2days clean and still counting
I rarely comment on videos but I would like to offer an alternative viewpoint of your interpretation regarding it's self inflected. I don't see it as a statement that someone is not worthy of recovery but as the fact that you have to take responsibility for your part in it. Own it and don't make excuses because once you own it you can work on fixing it. As long as you are making excuses recovery is unlikely to stick.
Hi Amanda, I stumbled upon your TH-cam page by Googling SixxAM. Such an amazing song. I am an addict that is not in recovery. As you clearly stated, I have shut the door and have locked the world out. Thank you, maybe it's time
It can be a scary world, but healing is so worth it. Ignore whatever doesn't serve you and walk out there with your head held high. You got this! I believe in you and am so proud of you! IT IS TIME!!!!!
I was listening to a 5FDP song the other day and this was suggested after. Addiction is one of the hardest things to get over. Anyone who has beaten addiction gets my respect. I choose not to deal with things. They're locked away where they don't bother me. Im afraid to deal with them because the last time I did I tried to kill myself.
I understand your ambivalence because I didn't know how to handle the trauma and struggle either. It's important to have a plan and a strong toolbox of coping skills in place, but it's imperitive to face those things because you can only shove them down for so long.
@@MentalAmanda thank you for your reply. I have tried to deal with it both by professional help and by myself. I can only go so far. There bad stuff that I don't really want to face because I was sectioned the last time I tried.
@@slap_A_flamingo I faceplanted the first several times I try to face the hard stuff. It can't be ignored, it just has to be faced gently and mindfully with a plan in place.
@@MentalAmanda Thank you Amanda. I am dealing with it a little at a time now. If I feel that it's getting to me, I do something that gives me peace. Music helps me a lot and always have. Think for me that hardest part is learning that it wasn't my fault. Thank you so much Amanda. Your advice was great. Keep up your amazing work and keep being an amazing human being.
Not sure about Joe Elliott or Brantley Gilbert but I do know Ivan suffered with alcoholism and Corey Taylor suffered with drug addiction
I found my mom dead of an accidental od I attempted to kill brain cells with alcohol didn't care if I died thanks to a break down I thank my friend who became my family sister for my close to 3.5 years sober.
Proud of you!
If I remember right Nikki Sixx overdosed on heroin he died they they wrote the song Kick Start My Heart!!! The band stated if they ran out of dope the world inject Jack Daniels!!! Take care ❤️
My problems with alcohol, cocaine, ketamine ,& bulimia were all my fault, nothing AT ALL to do with violent and emotional abuse, because that never affected anybody at all... 🤔Or a recent overdose attempt after the recent passing of the mother of my kids, my ex partner... Yeah, all my fault, my problem, who cares? Let's just treat people like that with the apathy they deserve, right? WRONG!!! We might be damaged, wounded, whatever, but we're still here. Apathy will not cure mental health conditions. Understanding would be a start. @Amanda Webster, you speak for me ❤️x
All superheroes have a tragic backstory. But they press forward even when it's hard. Even when it seems hopeless. I believe in you!
Maybe it's time...
I struggle with day to day events and have been diagnosed as bipolar, intermittent explosive disorder and antisocial disorder and I have been getting help for year's but it doesn't seem to help but there's something about music that always puts me in a better mindset and that's been my treatment and I've tried suicide twice but thankfully I wasn't successful because I have a son that really needs me in his life and struggle's with issues like I have and I don't wanna see him end up like me. I also had a alcohol addiction that I'm free from and been sober for 7 years now.
Proud of you for your sobriety! There isn't ONE treatment that treats every symptom of our disorders. It's about building a toolbox and clearly music is a big tool for you!
@@MentalAmanda yes music helps a lot and thank you for answering to my comment I really like to watch your reviews and reactions to video's I can really see that you go through mixed emotions throughout the song's and it makes me feel like I'm not alone so thank you for being real about mental illness.
If you get a chance you should do a react video to wage war's song never said goodbye that song hits all too close to home for me
Lost another friend yesterday To Drugs ,In June Lost 2 to Fentlyle Poison ( They thought it was Crack) I Stopped using yesterday ,Sick of Depression and Anxiety. My Daughter Committed suicide In 2015 December 23. Borderline Personality Disorder, also Lost MY Husband Richard 2 years ago in 2000 I miss Him Terribly
I'm glad that you are using the memory of those you have lost to find strength in your own battle. I am proud of you 💖
Hello Amanda I just wanted to give you an update I'm still struggling with certain things but it's being worked out finally and I just want to tell you that I love you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you stepped out and told me I appreciate all your kind words and thoughts you really help me through some difficult times and I just want you to know I love you for that and thank you and let's keep moving this on I would love to try to help other people out especially through the difficulties that I went through you're not alone anybody out there we're all in this together we need to unite and love each other no matter what the differences are but Amanda I love you the most keep spreading the positivity I appreciate it and I will do my best on my end to do what I can do to help your community grow thank you sweetheart much love
Wow....those are some people that KNOW a thing or 2 about addiction. Wow....I mean Nikki Sixx was legally dead from an overdose and Ivan Moody got pretty close himself drinking. Powerful song and I've never heard it so thank you for sharing it with us. Corey Taylor too? Man they got everyone to get involved with this song.
I have a person for you to react to, his name is NF he is a rapper, he has many many songs about his struggles and his demons. And he lost his mom from drug abuse, he speaks a lot about mental health and I think you would like him. Thank you for your time.
Just reacted to him today!
People reach for substance for different reasons. I felt my physical pain, and I felt my emptiness. I think I felt invisible, and I needed to be noticed in any way I could find. Its a matter of small steps, and then you stop and look at where you are, wondering how you got there.
And now you will never be invisible again because we all see you!
Yes, exactly…No one should judge someone else without knowing why they’ve turned to alcohol or other drugs…A dearly beloved late friend of mine who passed away because of her other health issues turned to drugs in her late teens and early twenties because of an early teenage pregnancy and subsequent adoption of her baby…I really didn’t blame her for turning to drugs but I just wished that she got the help she so desperately needed before her drug use…Too many people choose to judge before learning and understanding someone’s circumstances of why they turn to drugs or alcohol
Can you do a reaction to Lullaby by Nickleback? If you do, watch the official video showing the father and his baby.
Please, you should do a reaction to the song Face Your Demons, by Floor Jansen (lead singer of Nightwish) from her recent solo tour. The link is: th-cam.com/video/4sg1SVQ_QvQ/w-d-xo.html I think it makes a good follow up for this particular reaction. And of course it's Floor and she's simply AWESOME!! The song however is originally a track from one of the two bands, After Forever, that Floor was with prior to Nightwish. Love your channel and thank you so much for your reactions. Thank you.
Check out Disturbed A Reason to Fight!!! ❤️ They released a newer video Live speaking out against addiction and suicide... ✌️

All the proceeds of this song went to help people fighting opioid addiction.
Sober by bad wolves please
I have just started following your posts/videos. I'm not the greatest at figuring out how to "Like, subscribe or kiss the bell (I think that's what you said to do? lol) but I have SO much that I would love to talk to you about, but I don't know if I can reach you directly or if the is just an open page for comments, which I think that it may be.

So there saying I didn't deserve help when I overdosed and hit the floor in the middle of a Food Lion and got carried to the hospital and spent days in intensive care I tell you one thing I honestly feel like I don't deserve another chance I have cheated death several times and every time I feel like I lose more and more of the person I was but every time I'm at my lowest I literally lose so much of what truly means something to me I feel like I don't deserve to be loved because I don't understand why you can love someone open up everything to them just to get stabbed in the back I honestly don't even know if I understand love for someone else anymore I gave someone my love my heart my very soul I would have gladly given my life so she didn't hurt because of what she had been through and she turned around and did it to me I don't understand why I'm even here anymore but I try to hold my head up every day and get out do something even if I don't see the point
Everyone deserves help, no one is a lost cause, and it sucks that someone you love backstabs you like that, but that is also a self defense mechanism for some to lash out to people that come to close, you have to be very strong standing in those shoes to tolerate that and still be able to help those persons that do so. It doesn't help if you are also in the same situation that you need help yourself. Help yourself first before you can help others in such situations. I got in a simulair situation with my daughter, she is getting help now from professionals and I'm starting to let it go even as it's really difficult as I feel responsible as her dad to help her.
@@HegenSteg I have been though it with all three of my sons with there addictions and I feel reasonable for them getting into the stuff however my oldest son is doing so great he's clean working and has a great family my youngest son is on a good path now however my middle son is still on the path of destruction I was recently hospitalized and underwent several surgeries when I was able to go back to my house he had broken into my house and had his druggie friends there and as a result almost everything was destroyed or stolen I love the boy but I can't stand the person he is but we are repairing the house and I will try to move on I was in so much pain when my ex wife did I turned to drugs and alcohol to kill that pain and was not a good father I feel like a total failure in my life I just don't know anymore
@@rickyharlow8596 Keep holdng on to the postive ones for beeing a good father, no parent can be a good one 100% all the time and in the end you need to let them go and run their own life anyway, only thing you can do is be there when they ask for it and then try to help at the best of your abilities. that is all you can do. You can't change the past of what happend but you can influence the future with your actions. Own the past "failures" learn from it and try the best you can be for today and tomorrow, you can do this!
Because love doesn't require perfection. Superheroes have tragic backstories too. I love that you are vulnerable. I love that you are still here despite your struggle because you can give hope to others struggling. I love that you still love even if you tell yourself you don't. You are worthy and loved and deserve as many damn chances as it takes for you to see that!
If it’s that’s easy..
Nobody said it would be easy. Just that it would be worth it!
