This is my reaction to my first time hearing How Could You Leave Us by NF. The storytelling of how a parent's addiction can affect their children is excellent.

💖If you are in a similar situation, please remember the 7 C's: You didn’t CAUSE it. You can’t CURE it. You can’t CONTROL it. You can CARE for yourself. By COMMUNICATING your feelings. Making healthy CHOICES. CELEBRATING yourself. No matter where you are in your journey, you have a safe place here to share your struggles and accomplishments without judgment. This is how we shatter the mental health stigma.💖
Know this he isn't speaking to us he opening up, so dont demoralize the idea of him being stuck in the trauma he's stuck in and why they are, u speak to us like we didn't know he was young when it all happen, he says it himself that "he was just a kid and couldn't understand it" the way u speak sounds like u didn't have much of a relationship with your parents thats why u can't see past ur narrow minded analogies, fans resignate with NF because we allow ourselves to walk in the shoes of another to better understand and be able to show sympathy to those who have been in his situation, please don't go down the rabbit hole if all u can see is a cookie cutter life and nothing more.
@@dominiclara799 I actually had a wonderful relationship with my parents. They were my best friends (even when I had close friends my own age) but still guided me and helped me grow and learn.
Which needless to say, a cookie cutter life as predicted, simple enough to say something petty and let u show off your reasoning for lacking the ability of being empathetic and yet remain arrogant with the trait to be little someone's life when it isnt even your own but go ahead and convey your emotions since u can do from the outside, as if it wasn't contradicting yourself that much more, he can't control what happened and we know but still, you can??? You've never gone through this but act as if u know it... smh hilarious if music don't suit u then hop off the wagon or at least your high horse.
@@dominiclara799 I don't pretend to know what this person specifically has gone through. Everyone's story is different. You don't need to have experienced the same situation to have empathy. But I've seen this happen to people very close to me and I've seen the devastating impacts and I've gone through enough trauma for multiple lifetimes. I have ANYTHING but a "cookie cutter life".

I highly recommend his song on his new HOPE album it’s called mama and it’s his letter to his mom and it means so much! I love your reactions and hope to catch your next live ❤
Coming from someone who was addicted to heroin for 12 years. This song absolutely fucking destroyed me. I chose my addiction over my kids for years and years and ill never forgive myself for that. Luckily im 2 years sober now and im becoming a Certified Recovery Specialist so i can help people that are in the shoes i once was
I'm so proud of you. You can use this as a lesson to your children that drugs can shield us from love and family and goodness. Show them that love now. It's never too late! Your story will one day INSPIRE them!
Amanda, first and foremost, I commend you for the strength you have shown in getting thru this one. Secondly, thank you for sharing. We all appreciate you and we have all learned something from sharing your journey with you.
You should check out his follow up song to this one called "Mama" and you'll see the growth he's gone through... It's a tear jerker that hits home just like this one.
Definitely this 👆
I cried uncontrollably during this reaction. My mother passed away on the 6th of november 2023 and ive been an absolute wreck since. Thank you for this, keep doing good work and educating the world on issues surrounding mental health ❤
I know what it feels like to lose a parent, man. You'll get through this, just one day at a time. You got this bro
The fact that you said it’s more like a cage rather than a prison. Keep watching his videos and you’ll see how prophetic that is. Btw, watch Hope and Mama from his newest album, especially Mama as this is years later and see how he has progressed. It’s refreshing.
my real mom was drug addict. and I'm adopted. I celebrate 2 years of clean and sober last year. good song. this song speak to me.
NF is the best. Highly suggest Mama on the Hope album. It's the encouraging follow up to this song.
Definitely think next you should do Mama which is off his most recent album. It is a follow up to this song and really shows how far he has come in his journey.
One of the calls I responded to when I was a firefighter was assisting the ambulance with CPR. 16 year old girl overdosed her first time taking pills her friend gave her. That time she was saved, 2 years later at the age of 18 about 2 months after graduation she was found too late. Tore her family apart, the house stands vacant now, been vacant since about 2019 a year after she overdosed fatally.
💔
This was the song that introduced me to NF. He's such a powerful and impactful artist In so thankful for him and his vulnerabilities.
I really don’t like this kind of music but this one was really good and it really hit me hard and I thank you for sharing this one with me and I really do appreciate it thank you again for your support and your help here.
This song is so tough so raw!! It hits hard! You are an amazing person you know that❤love this reaction!!❤❤
Damn you had me balling here at work. Very emotional song and yes NF really can tell a story. WOW. Much love your way for a great reaction!
I never even heard of NF until a few months ago. And we are both from the same tiny town in Michigan.
Thank you, Amanda. Appreciate your reaction especially because of all the empathy you show. Bless you
Oh my! Watching your reaction videos, I am seeing so many songs/videos with people capturing and sharing real deep emotions. I don't know how you manage to find the content that you share with us. Without your channel, I would have no idea what so many others are going thru. Your personal sharing, too, is such a growth opportunity for me. Thank you for everything.
This song is never gets easy to listen to. The pain is so true and we all feel it.
That was a difficult to see you feel that pain, the same pain I feel now my mother is gone too. Holding you gently in my thoughts stay safe Amanda
Amanda you definitely need to listen to his song Mama from his new album. Its nice to see how he's been able to grow, understand, and change his perspective on his mother's struggles.
Only a minute into this song and I'm already tearing up 😔 Hello from Clinton Missouri.
NF lives in a cage throughout his music which represents his saferoom... he is inside protected from his fears while holding the keys inside... OUTCAST is the start of 'the CAGE' visuals... Do more NF more often.. it is REAL therapy ;)
In the comments to reactions to this video, there are so many people who report that this video was the kick in the butt they needed to quit drugs and stay sober. I think that by showing the damage addiction and other traumatic behaviors and thought patterns cause, Nate has one of the most valuable ministries around.
I more than likely would have relapsed again if it wasn't for him
@@perrdawg-py8my1cl7l It is important to keep the need for the changes we have made fresh.
Found this song in Rehab… Originally I wanted to quit drugs and alcohol for my kids. 455 days later I stay sober for me. The promises come true 1 day at a time.
@@mikelucas9727 Hurrah for you. Keep at it, one day at a time. It becomes more natural after a while. 37 years for me (just to say it can be done), and I really do not think seriously about going back to that life.
I get chills and tear up every time I hear this song
Idk if you heard but citizen soldier released a song called you are enough it’s really good
love this so much ... badflower "family" tore me up the first 3 times i watch it
This hurts … I remember running to the window every car I heard thinking she was coming to pick me up for our weekend visits only to be let down e every single time. Then one day I just stopped running to the window to look out then it turned into 16 years I hadn’t seen my mom or a phone call…. In the beginning All the calls saying “ I bought you a new this or that, and I’m on my way to get you right now” only to not show and she just disappeared one day ….im now 40yrs old and it still hurts even though I don’t show it or talk to no one about it , ever but I do have a son of my own and a wife and I have been here from the day he was born and will never make him feel the way I had to feel. Love him with all my heart , him and my wife are my world
You deserved love and protection. I'm sorry that you didn't get that. But I'm glad you get to experience that deep connection with your family now
Great reaction
Oh, they do see you. And they are so very proud of you!!!!!
Amazing song❤️
The confusion/panic in this womans eyes in the first 10-15 sec of the vid.. already so much emotion wondering does she needs to smile/cry/laugh/sad. haha great response
Hope is amazing so is happy
Just had 3 years clean a few weeks ago. As far as songs I don’t know if you know the band CHVRCHES.. they did a song with Robert Smith from The Cure called “How Not to Drown”. Amazing combination and lyrics I’d love to see you analyze the lyrics.
❤
very deep
if this is Yin, HOPE and MAMA is Yang, you should take a listen to those 2 :) also the end, where he's talking to he's mom, was during the studio recording, he ended up asking all to leave the studio, so he could say those words
To start off, I hope your having a good day so far and all I wanted to point out is you put the artist down as Hardy but it is NF but since you reacted to the video im sure you know who the artist is. 😊
That is what I get for rushing and copying/pasting/altering my titles! Thanks for pointing it out. All fixed!
If you have never heard of Away From The Sun by 3 Doors Down you should check it out. Brad Arnold the front man of the band went through some hard emotional moments. The music video is a reminder to never never never give up.
I think it's interesting that you used the terminology cage because, as a kid and a teen, I felt like a rat in a cage, who was watching everyone else be happy, but not so much anymore since I met you and the Wolf Pack. I mean, I still have my battles, but knowing that you guys have my back makes it easier to come back from that void.
Thank you Amanda ❤ Have you heard of Lacuna Coil they have a playback live video Wide and Awake it is Incredible the video is on George K the song is a song of hope and inspiration... Take care 😁 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song hits too close to home for me. We went into foster care when I was 12 and our parents eventually got granted supervised visitation at the DHR office. And the whole line about the lady sitting in the corner taking notes is also true. Their rights were terminated and contact with us was stopped completely. Years later I found out she got clean and was living with her sister in Utah, which is where she was born. She passed on due to liver damage from the alcoholism. I never found out why she never tried to find us after we became adults. Our former social worker told us she could have tried finding us threw them since she was sober and back on track. Maybe she didn't think she had the right to come back into our lives after everything. I was never mad at her I just wanted that relationship back. But it's something I'll never get.
I hope that you can find a way to connect with her even though you never got the answers you deserved 💖
You have to listen to Forever Fifteen by Mothica! I just discovered her and I can't get enough. I think you'll love her music
Fiiiiiiiinally I recommend this a looooong time ago! I believe I said I'd say hello if you ever did do this so,
Hello!!
NF song Mama is him coming full circle with his mother's addiction. You should react to it.
Have you tried The Smiths song, Asleep. Suicidal or depressed and lonely or both.
PS I am a trained Samaritan( for non UK people, it is a suicide line)
Hearing some things are heartbreaking.
But you have your rewards when you know you have helped.
Health reasons stopped me doing it though.
Have you checked out Citizen Soldier's new single "You Are Enough"?
You need to react to his video Hope. It’s a masterpiece!
Someone I loved very dearly took her life by overdose, she told me she was being tormented [ not by humans ] she went to hospitals and they could not find anything wrong with her, she has been to churches to be prayed on, shamans and nothing would help with the tormenting, I was very concerned because who knows was these demons or something? I was sick and in pain in my brain and stomach when I found out she took her life, so I said I would pray for her until I heard I didn't have to pray no more, at the end of 1st month of praying when at work still in pain and sickness, for 2 minutes love, joy, and peace fell on me, then went back to the pain and sickness, I said someone is listening, after the end of the 2nd month of praying still sick and in pain I was home listening to music with my headphones and a pure golden sound of a female voice said you don't have to pray no more, so after this, I got my peace a little back but I will always remember.......peace everyone......
If you haven't yet you should react to Vin Jays song break down
Check out "Mansion" if you haven't. One of my favorites from him.
Here ya go!

love the reaction
very sad song an its a true story at the ending of the song of him crying when he was recording this he told everyone in the studio to get out
please react to dancing with the devil by demi lovato
its about her getting sober an everything
been a while, hope you all are doing well. since it's a mental health channel i might as well give little story of my own. all kinda downfalls in life led me to believe it's the country and it's people so i moved to the other side of the globe to australia to find a life worth living, 5 months there for it to just end up being a massive failure and finally break me fully. got home asap, therapy medications etc. first med was escitalopram actavis first 5mg, then 10mg then 20mg, didn't work. second was brintellix 10mg, didn't work. now on duloxetin, started with 60mg, now 90mg, in future 120mg, helped at first but now seems to be doing nothing. don't have the "therapy" anymore, but i should continue it soon.
Running from our problems doesn't help because those suckers are like Usain Bolt! Getting into therapy can be massively helpful, but meds aren't for everyone. They had extreme adverse effects for me. You have a lot of power in your day to day choices that affect your mental health as well!
can u react to Hi-Rez & Lucidious & Joel Woods - Won't Back Down its a deep song
Amanda I don't know you... but I just want you to know.. I'd fight an army all by myself to protect you. You are a precious soul and you matter.
Pleaseeee react to NF- Mama.
Where he forgives her
He kicked everyone out of the studio for the last part...but yeah can see his growth in "mama"...
i highly recommend a therapist and a drug counselor. i’m a former user myself, and by how fast your eyes are moving and how big your pupils are you we’re definitely still using during this video. your eyes were all over the place. seek true help love. this video should’ve been a wake up call.
I have not used since 2018. I have drank alcohol. Which I've been transparent about. I have no reason to lie. I have a therapist that I see as needed. Currently we are doing EMDR to process some trauma.
Hello, plis review:
Hounds- Puma Blue.
De Selby(part2)- Hozier.
You Don't Own Me- Tamino.
Plis plis ❤😊❤
Hi Amanda I’m new to your channel tonight and I’m already a huge fan and will definitely subscribe. I wanted to ask you if you could please go back to Dax and do a review on his original “To Be A Man” video? Please and thanks!
You should react to mama, I think it will help you more than this song. Couldn’t imagine the pain with the lyrics and your life experience and relatability. Mama is a sequel to this song and don’t think it matters to go out of order to listening to it. Personally think it’ll help heal anything you have rn for your parents. God bless 🙏
Hey my Friend, react to JOURNEY "Don't stop believin" . Iconic song & great live performance with insane vocals by steve Perry . Thanks 🎉
Amanda, please react to Till it happens to you by Lady Gaga ❤ The oscars version is the best, but the official video is good ✨
Please Please please go listen to Mama from NF
NF Paralyzed next
I thought addicts dont recover?. Its a process, always recovering, never recovered.
Many say this. As a former addict myself and a psychology major, I vehemontly disagree,
@@MentalAmanda I hope you find the answers you're looking for. Me personally it's a daily struggle that I know will never be cured, but if you're saying that's wrong, I'm cheering for you.
@@Me4u2c42 Cured? Probably not. But just because it can't be cured doesn't mean it can't be treated. It doesn't mean that we don't have a LOT of power to influence our struggles and healing. Because we do!
