why is it that the most gentle souls are the most depressed souls?
Jamokai Simply put, it comes down to people like us being more sensitive than the average person. It's a curse because everything bothers us and we can't easily get over things or let them go. We ruminate over everything bad and can't see the good most of the time. This causes guilt because we hate ourselves for not being "happy" like everyone else.
Also, if the person has experienced childhood abuse or trauma (like Jon Davis or myself) this actually causes lifelong mental health problems. When a child is abused it essentially "scars" their psyche. It explains why childhood abuse victims usually develop harmful addictions. They're basically putting a band-aid on top of that scar in their psyche by self-medicating/engaging in addiction, but that scar will always be there and can't be erased.
people with very very creative minds have a hard dealing with what they created
I am too...
Because we are an easy target..
@@andydufresne8034 i agree with this. narcissists haven't a empathy, so they can do whatever they want with other people. Especially sensitive people...
I wish he was my damn therapist..
Actually, Korn is.
Ummmm they are my therapist 😂
I wouldn't mind some more one on one therapy 😁 I always do my own therapy but think I could really go for some JD therapy and hopefully visa versa 🙂
I wish Mental Health was a priority in the US.
right? no one takes it seriously here
canned bread Here in Kenya you get arrested if you attempt suicide and survive :(
Elleanor Gray that’s so horrible! it’s even worse
i mean it's a lot better here than most of the world
@horizonBeen dealing with depression for 30 years. But, nothing in life is free. Someone has to pay for the service. Do you want to do your job for free? And when it come to government it still not free, we all get taxes to pay and they will go up. I have my own issues, I don't expect everyone else to foot the bill.
John is one of the nicest and coolest people ever
diamond dragon plays He wasn't always even though I love the bastard
I love this guy.
diamond dragon plays - He seems to be. And humble.
diamond dragon plays awsome
I was very lucky to have worked for Sony in London when Korn brought out their first album. He is as nice and humble as he seems
Jonathan Davis is an amazing dude and is one of my favorite singers of all time. His lyrics and Korn's music have helped me deal with alot of shit in my life. God bless him
ua-cam.com/video/EMUOg3VJbvo/v-deo.html
Ibanez Maestro same dude same.
Same here man in going through a lot of shit right now I don't feel like I am myself that I am inside it is a terrible feeling . but korn and Brian Welch and jonathan Davis help me alot
He's literally the only person who I could relate to growing up with these "issues"
It feels like he is looking inside my head and describing what he sees. Depression is such a horrible thing to deal with. I have become an expert at functioning with it and I can hide it from most people but the torment that goes on behind my eyes is almost unbearable sometimes. I love this band and how they have been so open about their demons. They truly are a gift that makes me feel like I am at least not the only crazy one.
Annabelle I feel you
Same.
You're one of millions
I can relate to everything this man says
+H20 Delirious SPREEEEEEEEAD IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
U DA PAPPY
Realistically, no you dont
Maxxwell Palone pretty sure I do please don't make this a competition of who's dick is bigger
YEP,I BELIEVE WE ARE THE STRONGEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. BECAUSE WE STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL EVERYDAY AND IT HURTS AND ITS HARD.WE MAKE MIRACLES HAPPEN JUST BY KEEPING OURSELVES ALIVE.
Korn got me out of some of my darkest times.
Likewise thank God for them 🙏🏽
The way Jon described depression is one of the most accurate descriptions I have heard.
my dog helps my depression he is why i get out of bed he is the reason i walk without him i wouldnt get out of bed at all
My dog saved me too
Wish I had a dog, or a cat. I got a parrot, always had one, multiple parrots. Had a dawg for two years, lost him to food poisoning, I have bad neighbours. Not sure, but sure enough. Had another dog, died after two months, I really loved him, but guess I aint that lucky.
Hello, Thanks for your support that has been
pushing me from day one....I really appreciate it
The lead blanket comment is a perfect example of how it feels
I call it the black hole. I hate it
feye hudson I personally label it as my soul eater. Prevents me from thinking rationally, body feels ultra heavy, can never think genuinely happy thoughts.... The things a bitch :(
Doesn't sound bad at all. Cheer up, I have a condition that causes sinus inflammation. Imagine that lead blanket stuffed inside your sinus cavities and down the back of your throat to your lungs. That is what my condition is like, and breathing is like torture. By comparison, Davis's depression seems easy.
Rattamatt396 The worst part to me is the brain fog. I stopped having dreams. I stopped being creative. The only thoughts in my head were voices talking shit on me all day.
Dude said wet blanket not lead blanket. I have always called it the never-ending cycle of relentless abuse
I deal with Anxiety and was hospitalized two years ago. Props to Jonathan for bringing light to this Taboo subject. I think this is a LOT more prominent than people let on to. Support for one another when it comes to this subject is paramount. Keep Calm and Rock On!
I agree, I hid it from everybody my whole life. But getting over being embarrassed and being able to talk openly about it helps.
agreed brother...or sister ha
He's such a beautiful person
Going to the Gym 4 days a week changed my Life and was the Best thing that EVER happened to me so far. My social anxiety decreased by lets say 35 %. Now i can talk to people and look them in the eyes. That was impossible for me when i was 33.
❤
It makes me sad when I hear that people are battling depression/anxiety but at the same time it feels better to know you’re not alone. Everything he said I relate to and he’s not wrong on what he’s saying at all. If he can make it, so can we ❤️
He makes me feel as if I'm not alone. I feel the same way about music. Depending on my mood, there's always a song that comforts my soul...
sadie garcia godsmack saved me
Don't become comfortable in that dark place you go to when the world becomes too much.
Me too....
One cool dude! Great person, musician and parent. As a psychologist, this man is beating the hell out of his demons
Man, i hate to say this and don't wanna jinx it, but i hope Jon isn't the next rockstar we lose to suicide. Music can only help you so much. I hope his meds are working. Idk if Chester and Chris were on meds.
Josh That is a very real concern. There's really no way to know for sure. It's fucked up. The most creative and talented people are the most tortured.
Suicide of anyone always touches me deeply. I've been scared about losing Jonathan for a while now. That would be impossibly difficult to bear. I'm praying he's strong enough to win his battle. I know I'd have lost mine many times had it not been for his music, words, voice and emotion. 20 years later and he gets me through most days.
craftycowsarah u never win the battle...its on going.
tylerden I consider getting through life without suicide as a win.
Jared Genesis Wtfe. They killed themselves. Not everything is a fuckin' conspiracy.
"Music is the most powerful thing in the world." That is the most true statement I have ever heard. Coming from someone that deals with depression music is the only thing that gets me through. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Same. And I certainly wouldn't be here today were it not for Jonathan. Some of my lowest, most suicidal days have been soothed by cranking up some Korn... if I can find the motivation to actually do it that is. He's a master of putting dark emotion to music.
Lee Dalton yes!!
Same
Music IS the most powerful thing in the world. That's why you need to sing praise not the heavy dark stuff. Satan was the worship leader in Heaven before he challenged God & got kicked to the curb. He uses music to steal & destroy lives, it's why the gates of hell are emblazened with the letter 'S' 🎼🎼
I survived suicidal depression by the grace of God & can now listen to KoRn as the deafening roar of the Lion of the tribe of Judah against the work of the enemy but I needed the healing balm of Jesus' soothing praise to heal first.
@@annecollins1470 so true
It's simultaneously breaks my heart and strengthens me to know how much trauma Jon has been through and how he can still smile now. There's your role model. If only I could let him know that one day.
Hello Laura, Thanks for your support that has been
pushing me from day one....I really appreciate it
@@jonathandavis3726 If it's really you I hope you're doing well.
This touched my heart so much...
I look up to Jonathan as a Korn fan and just because of him. He saved me. I love him.
whenever jonathan davis and chester bennington would talk about depression and mental illness in general it’s like they were reading my mind. sucks that chester could no longer fight his battle along with chris cornell and other great artists who struggled. i hope jonathan continues to fight his battle with mental illness. he seems very happy now.
Aww man this made me tear up. I'm 1973 born female so close to his age. Born an anxious child, remember having anxiety about everything as long as I can remember. Developed OCD. First panic attack at 16 during my first nervous breakdown. I didn't know what was wrong with me. We didn't have internet & message boards & chat rooms back then. I thought I was losing my sanity. I dealt with it ALONE. Every day in high school was torture after that first attack. FINALLY in the summer of 1992 I got myself help. My mother just kept saying it was hormones and would yell at me saying I reminded her of my Father whom she had left years before. So I left her lol went to stay with my Father and got counseling and my first meds. Went from being an agoraphobic 18 year old, to working and going out with friends. Stopped the meds, thought the "monster" was gone. Haha😞flash forward, still had extreme anxiety but no panic attacks. Summer 2004 3 hurricanes in a row in FL..2nd nervous breakdown. Out of my mind. Back on meds...could leave house. Also I suffer from major depressive disorder but every anti depressant I've tried has made me suicidal. I've been stable on 2 mg Klonopin since 2005 and my current Dr. Wants me off just because SHE "doesn't like benzos"...ok then...guess I'll just stay in my house 24/7, not sleep and have constant racing thoughts. I never thought the fight would be this long and hard. On my Dad's side our brain wiring is very bad. Looks like I need to see a psychiatrist again seeing as how my Dr. Is opposed to benzos. They gave me my life back.
I don't look up to anybody, and have never had any people in my life I've ever looked up to, but John is such an incredible fucking person. He's been through the worst hells most people can only imagine, but he's made it through it all. His music came into my life when I was at my darkest point. His music was the first time in my life I had something that could explain what I was feeling inside my mind, and how I felt every day. I was able to put words and expression to what I was feeling, and it made me feel validated. This guy is fucking amazing, and I hope one day I'll get the chance to tell him how much he and his music have helped me find some peace in my mind and in my life.
Hello, Thanks for your support that has been
pushing me from day one....I really appreciate it
Id never known that jonathan is like that..so kind
He's a beautiful and real person. So open and raw and helps so many others.
craftycowsarah ~ absolutely agree with you !!!! 100%
Listen to Korn daddy and u will understand;p
FOR THE FIRST TIME I NOW KNOW THAT SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS ME AND THAT I AM NOT ALONE.THANK YOU JON DAVIS!!!
,I BELIEVE WE ARE THE STRONGEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. BECAUSE WE STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL EVERYDAY AND IT HURTS AND ITS HARD.WE MAKE MIRACLES HAPPEN JUST BY KEEPING OURSELVES ALIVE.
get then fuck out of bed is the best advice I have ever been given, thanks jd
If you feel like shit. Something is better than nothing. Make the bed, have a shower. Go for a walk. anything.
kris holz I'm about to write "stop being a bitch" on the wall next to my bed. Not very positive but the quotes led to a lot progress.
It's weird saying that I love this man. I love him because his voice has spoken words of love to me a million times over through his music. Without his and many other hard metal bands music, I would be dead. My best friend asked me if I would rather live without music or food.. I chose music. It may sound stupid, but I would rather be dead without music.
Jay Dauria it's not weird, I feel the same way! You've had or felt a connection it's perfectly normal , that's how music is and Jon is raw... primal at times if this makes sense ....idk I just love korn
I swear on every video I go to there is someone saying the exact same thing, 'you saved me', 'music got me through some DaRk T1m3z'... Yawn.
I suffered from PTSD. I fighting it every day! Cause I'm a fucking Korn fan! Thanks Jon!
I actually needed this so bad right now... thanks for whoever posted this ... in the past 24 hours I felt the lowest I ever felt in my life. My body felt sick and I felt like an entirely different person. Didn't know what to do, or how to deal with it so I Googled depression research.. that search didn't due much, but thanks to targeting ads and google spying on everything we do, this just randomly popped on the main page when I logged into youtube. ... this strangely helped me the most.
So, are you okay now?
I really hope that you feel better
Hope you're doing better. Best thing to do is be open to seeking help and keep your mind occupied as much as you can
You're not alone in this don't give up
I feel for you, going through something along those lines as well, hope you're doing better
Nothing but respect for him! I can relate and it's rough to say the least
So glad to know he could remake his life :')
I feel his pain, I've had depression/anxiety/panic attacks since 17. My last breakdown I was hospitalized for 8 months. Also had the subconscious fear of my food being poisoned. Been on every med. I've partially recovered but I'll never be the same. Thank you Jon for vocalizing the pain and anger a lot of us feel daily :-)
Jon is very strong man tellings what he survived. Respect.
he really does.. I love this man since I was a child. I was almost leaving that shitty depression etc but then well.. and as he says they come back and don't leave you even when trying to sleep horrible nightmares to the point even pills are nothing against them... hunting u over and over.. its so great he found things to hold on feel supported and not excluded criticed etc anymore
7 years later and I still haven't heard anything more accurate
I love this man SO much.. it's like he's family I can't explain it
Thanks for personally sharing. Korn music is one of my antidepressants and sure helps anxiety. I do take meds, too.... Guilt rules my mind. I love what you said here.....
no problem. what other bands do you like?
Hey Keith. Actually, I went to your page and already found lots of stuff I love and I am going to enjoy tonight!
But, as far as music, for a few years I am mostly into grunge like Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, etc.
Love Korn and everything about them. I used to only like heavy metal...so yeah that, too. I like Richard Ashcroft when he was still Verve.
I love Thom Yorke Radiohead! Anything he does. Matchbox 20.
Metallica...OMG my list goes on! I was a heavy duty GNR girl, but burned out.
I see some trance type music on your page! And I gotta watch Turettes guy.
Hello Betsy, Thanks for your support that has been
pushing me from day one....I really appreciate it
I love you Jonathan Davis!! I needed to hear this today.
a broken crayon still colors the same
My heart hurts for John, I'm praying for him!
Anxiety is a bitch! I have it! Its a strange comfort to know I'm not alone!
Yeah, we're not alone. Feels... better to know that.
"It does get better, it takes time, sometimes it takes meds, sometimes it takes change your whole life and make things different, but, it does get better at times"
Long live Jonathan Davis.
Wow he is the most genuine nicest guy ever. Thank you so much! You probably saved some lives with this speech.
This video is so powerful.Jonathan's words are so wise.When he says "The good times out-weigh the bad" it's so true.Never give up hope.
I love how open he is about his struggles. He’s helping so many people. I hope he sees that.
Thank you john i need that. . made me come to tears..
I've never listened to this before. I've never really heard John talk about himself at all. I've just always loved the man I'd gotten to m ow thru his music.
I swear to fucking God right now, I feel like he's telling MY story and thar fucking crazy to me. I wish I could have a conversation with John, like not as a fan but human to human, I'm blown away at how much we have in common in our stories and I never knew it. This makes me have an even deeper appreciation and view of him.
Love this man for being frank and honest!
He's so strong and beautiful!
This is why Korn has such i diverse following. People can actually relate to how JD puts his pain and emotions in his lyrics, music, his willingness to keep going drives people to overcome what they are going through. Amazing band love them since first time i heard them. Fan for life.
YOU SAVED ME FROM THAT DARK PLACE. FOR NEARLY A YEAR AND A HALF I WAS THERE LOSING MY SELF. AT TIMES WHEN I'M ANGRY I CAN SEE MYSELF GOING BACK TO RUN AWAY. THANK YOU KORN AND SPECIALLY JONATHAN DAVIS 🤘🤘
Jonathan Davis has always been one of my idols. I never knew he suffered from depression & anxiety like me too. It's amazing to see how many people struggle like I do. I honestly thought I was alone.
I loved KoRn growing up. I had issues handling emotions and suffered from depression my whole life as well. KoRn somehow helped to channel my sadness and anger. Now that I’ve learned more about John and especially his wife who passed away I have so much respect for this man. What an amazing human being.
As someone who suffered for almost 25 years of suicidal depression I concur. Also he is so right about music. I would be dead many times over without music! Jonathan is amazing for being able to keep going!
He is beautiful and he is my all time favorite singer!!!!!!!
The members of this band sure have a lot to share with us and how they came out of it. I love them and their incredible journey.
Crying. This man saved my life.
Jonathan Davis i always wanted to meet you brother. and i also bought toy story 3 to help me as well so God bless and i hope to give you a hug some day.
Both music and John's inspiration of living life to the fullest makes me respect him even more and his band. No matter how old I get, I would still listen to Korn music just to flush my anger and depression out of my system and not face it with anyone I love. God bless you John Davis. Keep on f**kin rockin' and shit.
..god bless.. and music is so powerful and gets me through each day and night
Ever since my dad was killed I have depression and it brings me to a dark place , I get flashbacks everyday of what happened. This video really helped out. Korn helps me get out of that dark place ,korn was my dads fav band.
Thanks Jonathan and to anyone who read this .
Loving the honesty, a breath of fresh air with the raw honesty
Such a gentle loving being. His/Korn's music has helped me alot in my life and I'm so grateful to have discovered it. Thank you for everything Jonathan I love you. May god bless you 🙏🏽🧡
This interview breaks my heart
He looks good here.
Alyssa Brown Ssso cute. Wtf 😍
He's always been hot
Sonia S yes i had a huge crush on him 10 years ago
I love him so much.. he's so brave and what he said about music is so true..music saved my life
Guilt is indeed a fucking horrible thing.
This guy is the reason I’m still here
watching this after struggling with really bad panic attacks and anxiety that seems crushing at times feels like I can breathe again. I cry knowing that my favorite person knows what I go through. Jonathan will always be my hero.
I'm so sorry about your past,and I never would imagine to think for a second things made you feel that's way
lukas batch my reply to this is a year late-but someone will see this. You Never know what someone else , just another human being like yourself but looks different, We never know what they are going through in their lives ... Korn and the Cure are my two fav bands ever.. both bands can be cathartic and therapeutic and just blow you the FUCK away ~ and on so many levels
The Cure :)
roger waters you too roger waters? I absolutely LOVE the Cure !!!!!!
Me too!!!
craftycowsarah incredible, aren’t they?! 🖤🌽
Getting goose bumps- because I can 100% relate to everything he is saying. Completely. And I finally bit the bullet and started on Prozac. Which was the best decision ever
I feel you Jonathan I have been suffering from anxiety and depression for a long time, there is something positive about depression that you understand life much deeper than people who do not have depression.
Bless you man, be well.
My best friend Joseph went through depression his whole life. I met him back in 1986 when I was 6 and he was 3. He was a drug abuser and alcoholic. He started drugs and alcohol when he was only 9. He was bullied, his dad was in prison for murder since he was a gang banger, he went to prison in 1985. His mom was a shut and abused him and slept with different men and left him with his grand parents when he was 9. He listened to korn all the time to cope. He quit drugs and alcohol when he was 36. Now he's 40. He also has 2 kids. God bless him.
Thank you, truly.
The ending is the best advice...WE DO MATTER AND WE DO ROCK
I needed this, thank you
So well said Jonathan! Thank you so much, 💜
Love his open and candid expressions and absolutely adore he and his wife’s relationship and love for their children and the fans here!! Keep speaking out!!! Made me cry! So much ❤️
Hello Kim, Thanks for your support that has been
pushing me from day one....I really appreciate it
Love you Jonathan for your brutal honesty. I would love to meet you and give you a massive hug.
Peace, Love and Understanding Andre from Australia.
Thank you for this, Jonathan.
"I think music has the power to heal people." So true! I feel that's why Korn's music is so powerful, BECAUSE Jon has gone through the same shit so many people that rely on music to cope have gone through, he can channel that power to help his fans. By playing his music, he can help himself AND other people!
That's inspirational right there.
Very well said. Needed this 💗
Thank you for taking the time to make this video Jonathan x
Thank you ...
Thanks man, for us out here still struggling. Still listening to all your music here in 2020
i love this man and appreciate how genuine he is
Bro I f*ckin love this guy
Thanks man! I'm there with you, we are not alone in that dark place
Poor Jonathan. I love his honesty.
This is incredibly insightful
So much raw emotion, JD is awesome & so authentic.
Love this man!
so much respect for this dude. we've all been there.
Thanks Jon
Thank you John that really spoke to me!
