When We Think Eating is Wrong... -- Garrett Russell of Silent Planet

Garrett Russel of Silent Planet talks about the thoughts and ideas behind their song, Nervosa. He walks through things he's learned about combinations of self-harm and anorexia and cycles destructive thoughts.

I adore Garrett. He's incredibly intelligent, but cares SO much about anybody and everybody.

[@HeartSupport]

Yeah totally!

[@HPTFan]

I love his Comrades t-shirt! One of my favorite bands! Hehe. I seen Silent Planet three times, and I love their performances. I met Garrett six times, and he is a sweet guy. 😊

[@jbasti227]

This guy is a genius, and Everything Was Sound is a masterpiece

[@OutgrownThings]

I am certain there are things he and I would disagree about, but when it comes to humanity, morality, empathy, and compassion, I just hope that I can someday become half the man Garrett is.

[@ursopunk]

This is why Silent Planet is one of my favorite bands! I am so grateful that people like Garrett exist and share their thoughts and ideas with the world. So much love

MY BOY GARRETT!! Nervosa is a song that means so much to me. I struggled with anorexia for years, and I still do. But this song has given me so much hope.

[@chrissesock4245]

It's hard to put into words how much Garrett's music has meant to me. It has given me some personal connection, some deeper feeling that the things that I'm dealing with aren't some weird anomaly, and that I'm not alone despite the problems I face.

Both this song and the message of anorexia hit me harder than anything else. Beautifully stated Garrett. You're a bright light in this world

[@comewither]

I've seen Silent Planet live twice and met Garrett both times. The band is incredible live and Garrett is the sweetest and most genuine guy. Incredible human being, amazing song writer and vocalist. Any chance you get to see the band, do it!!! Garrett WANTS to meet his fans and talk to them

I genuinely think this guy is metal Jesus. I met him on his superbloom tour Feb 13th. He’s such a down to earth guy and I hope to be as kind as him one day.
