Being happy and able to love and appreciate yourself is incredibly important. For some it is a very very long way, some may never end it but those that do will become stronger than ever before. Learn to love the darkness you we can see ourselves in the light! Now that you have been listening to a lot of talented singers it may be time to please the eyes aswell. It is a whole differnet style of music but the visuals alone will blow you away. So if you feel like you'd enjoy 10 minutes of an emotionally loaded, visually stunning display of art you might want to take a look at: The Closing Ritual | Defqon.1 Weekend Festival 2022 If you'd like to keep it at a shorter rate of 4 minutes, the following track is the first one in the above mentioned Closing Ritual: Hard Driver - Rise Again (Defqon.1 2022 Closing Theme) | Q-dance Records This is totally different than anything else on here but it'll be worth it every second. The whole event, even if you dislike the music, should be strongly concidered to be put on your "Once in my life"-list. Head high, head first! Cheers.

The song is about finally snapping from being pushed too far... Tech's part is the conscience trying to have a say but ends up making it worse. It dives into the transition from innocence to the harsh realities of life. It's as a blunt outcry against the darkness, recognition of inner demons and societal evils.

Ordinary Men is such an excellent book. I was introduced to it back when I was watching Breaking Bad in 2021 as a way to show that absolutely anyone can "break bad". I love psychology and I love learning about WW2 and it was a page turner. It's a dark truth most people want to deny, but we are all capable of unspeakable atrocities and all it really takes is being put in a particular situation.

You mention at one point that watching those true crime docs as a kid wasn't healthy because - correct me if I'm wrong - it takes away the trust in the world, in a good world where everything goes right in the end, that a kid needs. I kinda felt that. I lost that trust pretty early. And yeah, I watched a lot of age inappropriate stuff, but never true crime or based on true events. My parents made sure that I understood that the things weren't real and it didn't affect me. I lost that trust through life. I experienced chronic illness and pain from an early age, as well as bullying (partly because of it). I had a friend who lost their mom too damn early, two friends who had an alcoholic parent and multiple people who experienced some form of SA as teenagers. What really broke my trust in the world was in 7th grade, when a good friend started opening up about being abused by her own father. It didn't (and still doesn't) go in my head how you can do something like that to anyone, especially your own kid. It also really shook me that hearing it came out of nowhere. There were no signs. The possibility of something like that happening in my close circle didn't even cross my mind. Since it was there it was hard not to believe that everything bad that could happen also would actually happen out of nowhere. Rather be prepared for the worst all the time than be surprised again. As a kid I was always complimented for being so mature. Looking back, I'm not so sure that's a good thing...
@MentalAmanda26 күн бұрын
I too was complimented for being mature and I am also torn about it. I never connected with other kids. I felt more comfortable and had more fun with my parents until my teen years hit. It stunted my social growth. I was mature because life forced me to be so with my daddy being terminal, mental challenges and knowing that I was "different", dealing with abuse from a babysitter at a young age and growing up in poverty. I think it was the crime shows that made me afraid but life experiences that truly made me see that is isn't just some anomole Ted Bundy figure that is lurking out there somewhere, it's that anyone can turn on you. I still have the ability to trust, but it has to be earned. You mentioned being prepared for the worst at all time, and I think I've settled in a hybrid of that thanks to my mom. She always told me to pray for the best but expect the worst. In other words, be open to good things happening and make choices that encourage those things, but be prepared so if things do go south, you're not shellshocked and paralyzed. It works pretty well for me.

The idea of calling our darkness "demons" can seem like we're externalizing something inherently part of us. However, research suggests that naming and personifying our darker aspects can be beneficial. By giving a name to our darkness, we create psychological distance, which helps us observe and understand it more objectively. This approach allows us to gain insight into our behaviors and emotions without feeling overwhelmed. In therapeutic settings, techniques like externalization separate individuals from their problems, making it easier to address them. It's less about fighting oneself and more about understanding and transforming that aspect. Ultimately, the goal is to find a balance where we neither suppress nor are dominated by our darkness.
@scottclark3761Ай бұрын
@@MentalAmanda I agree with the ultimate goal. I find when folks get used to externalizing their problems, they tend to also externalize their locus of control. While I see it could be beneficial in a therapujtic setting, in general I am more of a proponent of accountability. A professional therapist should be able to bring your thoughts inwards afterwards. but most folks don't do that on their own. I had to learn to create space within myself to allow some of the darker rages to be known, and make peace with them. I am not saying that is easy....easy to say, hard to do! But my personal turning point was when I realized....it's just me. It's a part of me. Like a finger. That allowed me to return to the center. But it also meant I had to hold these darker sides accountable, and take that accountability on myself. It's kinda hard to describe. But, in general, I dislike an external locus of control, and I worry that a demon is an excuse to stay in that mode. People hate change. Just a counterpoint. Thank you for a well thought response! You're an empathic and caring person.

You're not bothering me. I created this community for people to have a safe place to share. It’s incredibly tough to deal with such persistent thoughts and the weight of everything you’ve experienced. Your feelings are completely valid, and it’s okay to reach out for support. If you’re open to it, I can refer you to veterans’ support groups that might provide a sense of community and understanding since others will be facing similar darkness. Additionally, we have a live stream every other Sunday where others (including quite a few veterans) gather to share their experiences and support each other. It might be helpful to connect with others who’ve been through similar struggles. You’re not alone, and there are people who care and want to help. Message me on IG (@mentalamanda) or email me (in video descriptions) and I can get you the info.

I used to watch your videos a lot when I was battling my demons. I was doing what I thought was great and even made a few comments on your videos talking about it, but then I got into a relationship with, and I dont say this to be cruel or as a begrudged ex, but pure freaking evil. The word is thrown around too much these days, but she was unadulterated narcissism, a compulsive liar, and an alcohol and heroin addict. The addictions made the relationship difficult at times, but she always paid lip service that she wanted to get better, but she didnt. She enjoyed wallowing in the mud. Around the time I received some head injuries which caused my perceptions to be skewered and I somehow hadnt noticed that she was cheating on me with about a half dozen different people. She even tried to encourage her niece (14 yr old girl) to cut her wrists and drown herself concurrently. I was running back and forward between bathrooms trying to stop both the ex, and her niece from committing self deletion, both drowning in pools of their own blood. She herself was tactical with her cuts... most visual for the least damage, but her niece she was offering real "advice" to. There's many, many other equally heinous experiences, but the point isnt to tell these things, just to give an idea of how chaotic things became and I fell heavily for a long time. Id gotten into this relationship after maybe 10 months of being in the best mental health shape of my life (severe anxiety and depression ruled me for roughly 20 years). It made it very difficult to pick myself back up to have risen but fallen so deeply again. It takes more and more effort every time. The only reason I was able to was because out of nowhere the lady I used to call my soulmate as an 18ish year old boy and "the one that got away" and only woman Ive ever truly loved came back into my life and it's like we'd seen each other yesterday. Things just fell instantly back to how we used to be (never had a falling out, we were just young and she moved to another state for modelling work and we fell out of each others lives). Anyway, point to all of this is that I would still keep an eye on your channel and saw you'd had some falls again yourself. What happened to me and how I pulled myself out of darkness again was a miracle. You wasnt so fortunate and still seem to have picked yourself up, brushed off the cobwebs and tried again. That's very impressive and takes more strength than most will ever have a need to muster. Please be proud of yourself. :)

Personally, you (generally speaking) do not deserve anything. Everything in this world is earned. You want respect, you have to first show it. If you do not receive it in return, then all well...move on. If we start this "you deserve" train, then it evolves into this entitlement/victimhood narrative and that is a problem. Just my 2 cent.
@MentalAmandaАй бұрын
Every person inherently deserves respect simply by virtue of being human. This baseline respect acknowledges each individual's inherent dignity. However, I agree with you that maintaining and deepening respect depends on reciprocal behavior and how individuals treat others. While initial respect is a given, ongoing respect is built through actions and interactions. If respect isn’t reciprocated, moving forward and focusing on constructive relationships is usually the best approach. I think that this perspective encourages personal growth and accountability, helping to build a more respectful and resilient approach to relationships and interactions and avoid the victim or entitlement mentality.
