I came across a song that i havent in 20 years and i broke down. Staind " For You" life will wither you down. Havent heard that tune in a while. I hope Taylor might react to it one day. I have endured so much stuff people dont believe what i have endured except my family. Because they know and this isnt a post to sob or get clicks. It is real life trauma stuff. I shared it on a Mudvayne song in this channel and the inital person mocked me, okay i dont give a f about them, then love from others poured in. So i will share this with you all. I lost my wife pregnant with our daughter in 2007. My wife and i knew each other since we were 5 years old. My bestfriend. That destroyed me. I lost everything because i couldnt cope after that loss. I rebuilt my life and made friends. My 2 bestfriends Rose and Stacy. Were beacons of light, getting me to try to go out and experience life they succeeded. Rose killed herself from her abusive relationship. Stacy killed people from drinking and driving. In a instant, i lost 2 people that were my angels and supportive. My ex girlfriend cheats on me Christmas Eve while im making ginger bread houses with her kids. I got cancer and went to a mental hospital because i couldnt take all the weight that was pushing me down, and self harm thoughts. I was graped in their and beat bad. All that has been 5 years now. There is good and bad days, we will always have those. Im alive and doing the best i can. I have ptsd from it. But i try the best i can everyday, you can to as well. You arent alone and their is value in all of us, even when life has tried to take that value away. Love you all, keep fighting

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing that. It takes a lot of strength to put your personal pain out there for others to read. The loss you’ve experienced must have crushed you. It’s completely understandable to have something like the loss of both partner and child at the same time bore into your soul and live inside you. It would wreak havoc on an emotional level, as well as on your ability to cope in your day-to-day life. And then to have something that seems like it would have felt like history repeating happen to you with the loss of the two people who supported you and dug you out of the dark place you were in would be devastating. They sound like they were wonderful people. What a terrible loss. Finally to be betrayed by someone you loved. It’s completely understandable that you found yourself in such a hopeless place. And then to be violated when you tried to seek help. I’m so sorry, my friend. I can’t imagine the scars you bear. The fact that you take all that misery and all that sorrow and your instinct is to share it so someone else who might be experiencing the same thing won’t feel alone - that is truly something special. You are one-of-a-kind. I just want you to know you are also not alone. We’re here to listen. Thank you again for sharing!
Hey there, thank you so much for sharing your story. That is such a difficult thing to do, especially when life has been so hard on you. Your vulnerability and courage are really inspiring. And your story truly is powerful, because as you said, you have endured so much pain. Loss can be so discouraging, because when it happens to us again and again, we wonder if there is ever going to be a person or community that will stay with us for a long time.
The fact that you are alive and sharing what you’ve gone through is a testament to the hope for your future. Suffering can feel like an endless ordeal, one where we climb out of one problem just to fall into another. But even just for me, reading your story right now has given me a lot of perspective and encouragement to keep pushing, day after day, no matter how dark my situation might seem. While we want to explain why things happen to us, most times we have no obvious reason. But, I know that nothing is accidental, and these pains you have endured will give hope to others who are struggling too.
When I have struggled with storm after storm of pain, clinging to hope for a brighter tomorrow has gotten me through it. It’s still not easy, but by shifting my focus and reassuring myself that I am not defined by my circumstances, those storms calm down enough for me to walk through them with peace so I can continue to endure. I want you to know that wherever this message finds you, you are loved more than you could ever know. Your story and your openness prove that you were made for a reason and that you deserve to survive and have hope. Thank you for your honesty, and despite what your surroundings are, you are not alone as long as there is breath in your lungs.
@@HeartSupport thank you both. I never knew people would listen to what I had to say. It took me a while to process your kindness. I’m grateful for that. I have been through mud. I’m cancer free and I feel reborn. I would love to join your team. I know from real experiences.Thank you all 
I feel like this is … Love
