I love all of your Citizen Soldier reactions not many reactors react to them. This song hits really close to home for me I am always the one to help other people but when I need help it's like a ghost town no one is there to help me.
I LOVE Citizen Soldier and they are so underrated!! His voice cuts me to the bone every time and the lyrics are so gutwrenchingly honest you just can’t NOT feel the pain and the hope and the fight. More people need to hear them!
I'm so glad you are doing this one !
The saying actions speak louder than words is true, and this point 10:02
Something people that are trying to help have to understand is, when someone's in the depths of this type of suffering, sometimes, it's too much to reach out. It's too much to say hey, I need help. I need to talk.
Sometimes it helps for someone to come to YOU and say he, how's it going? How are you? Are you okay? What can I do? Sometimes we can't reach out a hand and need a hand reached towards us.
Sometimes "I'm here for you" isn't enough. Show me.
And you're right. I'd rather someone not care or try at all, than have someone try and then give up on me. Don't give me false hope. It's devastating.
I think one of the more difficult situations I have been in is doing everything you can do to help someone, and you come to a point where you don't know how to help them out of the pit they are in. That doesn't mean you should leave them in that pit. Still try to help them out of the pit, even if you yourself don't have a clue what or how to do it. You are going to make a lot more progress simply by being there and trying with them. I tell the person I am helping, I don't know how to help them, though I am sure as hell going to try and help them either way.
The act of trying and continually trying regardless if we actually made a lot of progress in each attempt, this person is now in a better place and in shelter, getting their life together, and alive and safe. I am glad that I tried even though I wasn't far off from his position myself, and have been climbing out of a similar pit myself. Granted way longer, and I've not had help with it really, though I care about this friend, and he needed the help.
I honestly don't expect him to do a lot back, he has enough on his plate as is. As do I, we are both in better spots now, we kind of helped each other up and out of the bottom of each other's pit in a sense, and well. He's a hell of a friend.
I have had people be in a similar point with myself, where it seemed like they didn't know what to do, and they ultimately just quit and walked away. These were people I genuinely thought of as family, like people I met, never seemed like they would ever do this, I have been planning to legally change my name, and I was going to adopt their last name, because that was how close I was to them, at least that was what I thought. I would always drop everything to be there for them. They seemingly did so, or if they were unable, the reasoning behind it made valid sense and I held no hard feelings. Though... When they do an about face, start excluding you from activities you have always been included in, activities that are known to aid my mental health and such, for something that was out of my control... then ultimately take your emotional support animal from you, and push you out to the curb like nothing, saying good luck, as if rid of you... that hurt so much... To this day that's something I don't know how to really convey the feeling, just it hurts so much.
That's something I think about every single day, it's something I don't think I can ever fully forgive them for doing.
Thank you
Thank u brother for another great reaction 🙏. Love to see more CS on ur channel such good music
I do the same for people before myself
If you would want to go down a musical rabbit hole, I would highly reccomend the swedish band Sabaton. Their songs are (maybe except one or two earlier ones) about military historical events/people. I think you might appreciate the story behind "The ballad of bull", "No bullets fly" and maybe "Hearts of Iron". But my personal favorites are "Attack of the dead men", "Father" and "Soldier of heaven" with an honorable mention to "Steel commanders"
This was a fun reaction. I follow Citizen Soldier - but I don't typically listen to their harder songs, so it was fun hearing it and hearing your side of the story and your vision of the song! I can relate a lot to the song, it's sad when you feel like giving up and the one's you thought you could trust to show up just don't care. It hurts more when you've sat and put your heart and soul into helping said person. The one thing, when I was in that place, that I wanted was someone to care - and I found that most people are either scared of that place, or they don't care to hear it. It can be really difficult and put you in a worse position mentally. It sucks!
I hope everyone is having a good day, and if not, I'm so sorry! I wish I could hear everyone's story and support everyone - so take this to heart! It will get better. The suffering you might be going through hurts - and it feels like you can't breathe. However, even at the most basic level, you have things to be grateful for. Your heart is beating, you're breathing air, and you find yourself watching things you enjoy. Take it one step at a time! You'll make it, I know you will! Even if I don't know you personally.
I have dealt with this my whole life even my own family I have always been there for everyone else but when I’m hurting and in that place and I reach out for help I get told I’m making it up or that I don’t feel that way I’m just lying
I've always been the one left behind
TormentedVet if u are anyone else need someone to be there for u I am here for anyone...I suffer from ptsd just a different form so I understand what it is to have joined when u need someone.
Thank you so much and the same goes for you!
When I could still work, managers would ask me how I was. They didn't really want to know how I was, so I started asking them, " Do you really want to know or are you just asking." They didn't ask me again because they couldn't give 2 mouse farts how I was doing.
