Beartooth - Might Love Myself - Therapist Reacts

I’ve been there. I have PTSD and severe anxiety from military. I lost everything because it brainwashed me into thinking I was just cursed. I thought everything happening was my fault. I barely could get out of bed. I don’t drink or do any drugs but I lost my house, my family, and my life because I gave up. I thought I would never get better. I lost hope.

But I’m living proof that IT WILL GET BETTER IF YOU DONT QUIT!

I’m 55, I was married for 26 years. But through PERSISTENCE, IT WILL GET BETTER!

This song is perfect! You CAN love yourself and KICK whatever is keeping you down! Just DONT GIVE UP, NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS
DONT QUIT!!!

Had the fortunate opportunity of seeing these guys live and Caleb mentions how his sobriety has helped his mental health so much and while he still has his bad days and moments, hes learning to appreciate everything for what it is, a message we can all hope to take away and apply to our own lives.

Metal relates to trauma, it’s the emotion we all wish we can just scream, but music works or many in many facets and metal is by far the most abused people screaming their hearts out about injustice

I just heard this song for the first time a few days ago and been listening to it on repeat. I’m so happy I found your video. I’m on the verge of tears every time I listen to it

I’m currently on my way to see my gf after not not seeing her for 10 days. We’ve been going through it lately. I’m single dad who had all but given up on love, and I was cool just being a dad. Then the actual love of my life came out nowhere. This song is meaning so many things to me right now. My gf and I are going to dinner to talk after the last time we saw each other I packed up the things I had at her house and left. This song has put so many things in perspective. Wish me luck guys.

First time I listened to this song I almost cried, because it’s exactly how I felt and now fell.

I had a long history of depression. Most of that time I wassn’t even aware of my health problem. Every single year of the last three years were the best year of my life.

It was very hard to aknowledge my problem even harder to find a way to get up and do something about it. I tried a lot of different things that never really worked, but I had to push myself doing something new.

I like to encourage everyone to never stop trying. You’re not alone, friend.

Taylor react to I Was Alive by Beartooth in their last song of the new album. Everything Caleb has gone through has reflected my life and his writing is a huge inspiration for getting my life where I want it to be.

The singles for this album started dropping at moments I NEEDED them to drop. They helped me get through a pretty dark time.

@heartsupport this song hits hard

@heartsupport

I am dealing with some struggles of being a 20 year old. I just recently left a job I was unhappy at. I am also trying to figure out a relationship with a girl. I feel kind of hopeless and lost. I tend to care too much about what others think of MY life and how I go about it. Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

@Heartsupport
Positive message for the support wall. Hang in there everyone :black_heart:
One of the things I love about this reaction the most is that she describes the breakthrough perfectly I didnt feel like I was getting any better after the most severe breakup in my life that brought out the absolute worst in me.
Facing some one who was a covert narcicist [perhaps hidden even from themselves] that unconciously gaslit me so hard that I was emotionally pulverized and after nearly 70 hrs of therapy and cbt and emotional management and also watched tons and tons of relationship and attachment and emotional manipulation videos and all out of no where I suddenly was able to release all of my resentment for one of the hardest emotional battles I had faced were worth it to make it to the breakthrough.
The relationship counseling unlocked the fact that besides ADHD and RSD [rejection sensitive dysphoria is the absolute worst :face_with_head_bandage:] I also have obsessive compulsive personality disorder
And she and I had been engaged and ocpd comes with a pre occupance for “how things should be” and our commitment had come before really learning who we really were or if we could love eachother properly and and in that my ocpd cause me to become irrationally upset when as we did learn more about ourselves that my emotional needs were beyond her either ability or willingness to commit to but we were ALREADY commited to it in my mind so the disparody was SO HARD FOR ME TO TAKE.
I hated all of my negative reactions and triggers and regularly felt like life wasnt worth it.
I completely am a different person and I am a career “elder emo” for over half my life with a crybaby tattoo and everything to display my acceptance of it :sweat_smile:
I cry less these days.

Caleb has definitely come a LOOOONG way. I’m proud of him

This song kills me cuz I want to love myself…so gdam hard …but it does clear trees for a bit

I know that this reaction is an older one but here’s my story… I hated myself so much that I tried to kill myself with booze and pills. I would wake up the next morning pissed off because I still existed. Somehow I lost myself because I was trying to be someone that I believed people wanted me to be. I would look into the mirror not recognizing the person in the reflection. I was about to lose everything and had to make a choice to fight my demons or get consumed by them. I grew my hair back out, put back in the piercings, started listening to the metal music that I once enjoyed many years ago. Now when I look in the mirror I see exactly what I knew I was always meant to be. ME! Metal music saved my life and has helped me to live my best life now. Now it’s my turn to give back. I take my kids to concerts and we rock out with the metal family and it’s completely changed my life :metal:
