Up until now, Slipknot was always just "that group with the weird masks." Today, reacting to their song Snuff from the All Hope Is Gone album (at the suggestion of a very special hero), I got to see that they are SO much more.

How do I get you to react to "Cocaine and Abel" by Amigo the Devil?
@@donaldmccombs5566 you have to become a member of her patreon for priority song requests
@@krammet guess I need to make money
I did say it on another vid earlier.. but, if you haven't posted/reacted to the official live video if a reason to fight by disturbed you really should. .. glad i found you btw.. beautiful .. inside and out x
@@krammet i dont know what a patreon is 😂😂.. are you one.. tell her about a reason to fight live video.. its a must
You were expecting them to be heavier musically when you first heard them, turned out the lyrics were heavier than most bands out there! Slipknot is beyond awesome!
hell yes to that
And then you listen to surfacing or heretic anthem and you want to run around fuck shit up.
i love how slipknot is able to manipulate listeners emotions/feelings through their various songs... incredible. @@henryr.schrader7520
@henryr.schrader7520 or watch the video to Duality and remember that is exactly what was going on and you get the urge to replicate it
this song so heavy that grown man hurt listening to this.
In your free time check out his solo acoustic version. I believe its from london. Incredibly powerful.
Yes!
And whilst your watching that also check out bother from the same set the audience participation on that performance is incredible
Corey had it rough he attempted suicide twice once when he was 18 and once in his later 20s right around 2003-04
It was in London I was there😀 very good night Corey is so funny and has an amazing voice🤘
@@KevZX-10RC1H lucky you. I watch that show every 2 or 3 days. It's amazing!
”If you still care, don’t ever let me know”
Ok I think we’re done, let’s leave it there.
Just WOW. Insanely deep.
You said two things that absolutely hit the nail right on the head:
1. The opposite of love is not hate, it's apathy.
2. No one can complete another person, they both have to be a whole.
No truer words have ever been spoken!
Love and hate are opposites. Apathy is a neutral feeling. Whereas, you can occasionally get away with apathy, most things in life need a feeling one way or the other, and especially something as emotional as a relationship. Apathy is emotional withdrawl from a situation. I understand why one might express it to protect oneself from more pain. But if it continues, you lose the other person in the relationship, because everybody needs interaction and emotional investment
@@craighenry9512 Which sounds like the opposite of what love is.
@@craighenry9512 Oh, Craig... How I envy you.
Love and hate are very close cousins. You have to really love to hate. See Eminem's song Kim. If he never loved her, he would NOT be able to boil into the rage he expresses in that one. The passion is the same with both cousins. It's just your goals that shift. And even that's not completely true. You want them to feel what you're feeling. You want them to experience what you're experiencing. In both cases. You crave to show them on a level both emotional and physical how they make you feel. Express those urges that are dying to get out. And changing one into the other, love into hate, is as simple as one act of betrayal. One step across that thin line that separates them.
Aparhy is really a much better fit. It is the lack of caring. The lack of interest. The absolute lack of Fs to give. You could not care less. And that is the opposite of both love and hate, where you couldn't care more in both cases.
@@craighenry9512 I agreed
Hate is definitely the opposite,tf u talking about, apathy is just dgaf
“I only wish you weren’t my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end.” That line has stuck with me for a long time and seemingly becomes more relatable over time. Being the better person really tests your morals at times.
it didnt stop her in my case
People sure can hurt us when we least expect it.
@@MentalAmanda and more so when we allow them
This song hits during the sad hours....Slipknot has helped me so much in my darkest days, I probably wouldn't be here today if it weren't for them.
Me too. I wouldn't be living the life i am living right now if it wasn't for Joey. I met my girlfriend through Joey 20 years ago. It's crazy to think that if it wasn't for him i would be living a completely different life right now.
Honest truth. I got to know, hang out with Slipknot since first seeing and meeting them in ‘99 at Ozzfest. Corey Taylor has been through so much in his life. Even survived suicide before, became sober and helps fans and people no matter what his fame is. There music and even conversations we’ve had has helped me so much towards my own struggles of mental health and past suicide attempts. If it wasn’t for the fact that I met Corey Taylor, read his books, know he was also a survivor of many kinds of abuse in his childhood, I would not had been able to find a comfort to where I was able to let people know I am survivor of sexual, physical, verbal, emotional abuse from my own childhood all these years later.
Sometimes, our most hurts can be used to help others. Thanks for what you do, Amanda. I just found this video last week as a suggested video from the Slipknot videos I watch.
Heard that. Getcha a case of beer on that one!
@@nailntrm1436 im too young to drink haha, but im doing better now at least so thats good
You missed it completely it wasn’t about a lover it was about a friend to Corey. She /he gave up on themselves
The chorus of this song hits me every time. I've struggled with love and affection and self-worth since a young age, and everything about what those lyrics describe is exactly what that feels like. Tears. Tears every time.
I hear ya brother. Bad news my friend, no matter what they say, it doesn't get better/easier when you get older!
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. Because I’m like that too. And it brings up a lot of bad memory from the roughest part of my life so far
Sometimes we have to shed a LOT of tears to process through trauma. I know I did!
Been there, knew the song so well 2 seconds into the instrumental i had tears, these days I listen to it and wait till corey lifts the tempo. And when he does its like he is raising me from the gutter. For me atleast it's a song when I'm hurting will bring the tears, when I'm starting to feel good it will uplift me even more.
I’ve watched several reactions/responses to Snuff and this is by far the most intelligent and on point commentary I have heard. You put into words perfectly why I am so taken over by this song. There’s nothing more insulting than when someone says “you’ll get over her/him/it” or “just don’t think about them”. It’s hard to speak about things that hurt that you’re passionate about when you know nobody cares. Some wounds aren’t meant to heal. Some we don’t want to heal.
Some wounds we shouldn't allow to heal. Some we should keep revisiting and reminding ourselves of. Ripping off the scabs and making sure to scar up there. To be prepared. To remember. To never be hurt like that again. Some wounds are left by things we survived by the skin of our teeth. Things we would NOT survive again. Things we need to see the early warning signs of, so we don't make the same mistake again and notice when it's already too late to back down.
"some wounds are not meant to heal"
That sentiment is something I feel so deeply I had it tattooed on me. So many people truly do not understand what that statement means and why it's so important. I find it hard to explain to people, so it's always nice to come across anyone who understands this.
This song is interpreted in COUNTLESS ways by so many people, which just proves how extraordinary this song is. Its really rare to find a song that is so effective as this one.
Corey Taylor's lyrics just resonate with me. "You want a real smile, I haven't smiled in years." "My heart is just to dark to care."
Trust me, they are a lot heavier......but they do have their human sides. Listen to the lyrics in all of their music, they are like no other and have been for 25 years now.
And thank you for that reaction, always puts a smile on my face to know there are people who's mindset when it comes to these life situations are the same as mine.
This is Slipknot’s heaviest song.
listen to the lyrics in all their music. , like no other for 25 yrs??????????? Clearly you've never listened to Tool
@@kevink1057 on the contrary, I have all 9 albums (6 of them signed by the whole band )and I also have all of Nine Inch Nails as well. I have literally over 26,000 songs in my music on Amazon from the 1950's all the way up to the latest albums of all the artists I listen to. I've heard any and everything that has come out in the last 70 years so am very knowledgeable in all music genres 👍
“It took the death of hope to let you go” hit home like no line I’ve ever heard the first time I heard this song.
The one line that still floors me, no matter how many times I hear it. Something viceral stirs within....
Beautiful song, when you learn the back story for this song it’s even more heartbreaking! Also, check out the Corey Taylor live performance of snuff as it’s perfect.
My favorite lines are "Angles lie to keep control". "If you still care don't ever let me know". This is such a great song, deffently not thier normal song. If you didn't notice Corey Taylor is the girl, I believe it symbolizes that he is carring out her memory after she is gone. Corey Taylor is such a great singer, I met him one, he is a great guy too. There is a live acustic version that is amazing.
another good line from this song is when he says "My hope was banished long ago, it took the death of hope to let you go" that line hurts
Mine too. I DONT think that she realizes this is a song about someone committing suicide. Especially with the lyric angels lie to keel control
The first time I watched this I realized it wasn't a woman. Then I froze the shot of the photograph and saw it was Corey. He was desperately trying to keep her alive. Powerful song.
I don't post often, in fact, this may be my first time posting on your channel, but for one who has been through a marriage where I was betrayed by my partner and then dealing with the mental and emotional anguish, the depression from that loss, this song hits home in the feels for me. It's cathartic. I've probably listened to "Snuff" hundreds of times, and it still reaches down into my soul and hits me the same every time. I tried to deal with the pain and loss of that relationship by drowning it and self-medicating with alcohol. I probably was already dealing with depression before the failed marriage from a traumatic experience I had as a child, but either didn't realize it or want to admit it. The divorce was enough of a catalyst to push me into the pit where I couldn't hide it. Music was one of the things that helped pull me out of the bottle, and it is people like Corey Taylor sharing their own struggles and pain through that medium, especially with songs like "Snuff," where you realize you aren't alone in feeling the way you do that is a big reason why.
While the studio version of the song and video is good, I prefer the stripped-down, acoustic version with just Corey Taylor, his 6-string, and the crowd. This song has always been a difficult one for Taylor to perform live, to get through, and you can really see the emotion come through when he sings it. I highly recommend that you or anyone that watches your reaction take the opportunity to watch it if they haven't yet. You can find the video on Corey Taylor's channel or just search Corey Taylor Snuff acoustic. Enjoyed this reaction. Keep doing what you do Amanda. Thank you.
Like wise Bob. Caught my wife on thursday. Fk em. Onwards and upwards ❤
thats how I discovered Slipknot...when Duality came out...just caught her in my bed with some other dude.....battled 10 years of depression...Slipknot kept my head above the water. How Corey puts pain into words, I didn't feel alone.
Agreed… his acoustic version is awesome. Anyone who hasn’t seen it needs to
I hope you find all the happiness and love you DESERVE!
@@MentalAmanda I did :)
I’d recommend listening to Unsainted. Corey wrote it about his fight with depression and traumas from his youth.
The live version is gold! You can really feel the emotions Corey put into the lyrics. Great reaction!
This is probly one of the most honest reactions I've ever seen. Your understanding and empathy that you've shown to this painted picture of a state of mind and being is truly beautiful. This is a very hard song for me to listen to especially because I know that I've done exactly this in relationships that could have worked out if I hadn't been so afraid what would have never happened if I didn't will it to be so. Idk sometimes it's just nice to see somebody even through a phone screen that can relate and has a similar mind set as me, a growing person. Thank you for that
The live accoustic version by Corey is amazing - and has more emotion as it was recorded after his good friend in the band (Paul Gray) had died
Its not really a representation of Slipknot as a band - most of it is super aggressive hardcore metal (but ace at the same time) but deals with a lot of issues around depression, mental health, alcohol and drug addiction and more.
This song is beautiful.
Rest in peace Paul and Joey...
Rock heaven for me❤😭🤘
God wanted Joey Jordison for drum lessons
He wanted Paul Gray for bass lessons
@@isogenect3288 ik I can't believe paul AND Joey are gone
@@Good_day_dema56 ik dude it breaks my heart 😥
Slipknot is a band that is riddled with mental health issues. You can pick any song and find a multitude of symbolism when it comes to mental health. They are my favorite band and they have helped me get through my depression and PTSD.
Most hard rock/metal bands are that way
Nice review, the song is to a person in Corey's life that he fell in love with while they helped him through a dark time in his life, and the struggles of letting go because they didn't return the love (I can't destroy what isn't there) due to their own darkness (my heart is just to dark to care). The mood change in the song during these lyrics is her speaking to him
"It took the death of hope you let you go...." - Arguably the deepest lyric i've ever heard. Haunts me every damn time i hear this track.
This song is very different from the rest of the band's discography. It's so special and has supported thousands of broken hearts over the years. I recommend checking out Bother by Stone Sour. Same singer but different band.
Vermillion part 2 is another slow one by them that is good
I wouldnt say it's very different. Vol 3. has about 3 very soft and slow songs.
Vermilion pt2.
Circle
Danger-Keep Away
It's a beautiful song written after loss. I can't imagine what they went through losing Paul Grey and more recently Joey Jordison. Another Slipknot song that really hits home is Not Long For This World but I feel it NEEDS the WARNING to only listen to it if you're in a safe place mentally as it's a very hard hitting song
This song was not written after Paul’s death. It was one of the last songs he ever wrote for slipknot.
This ones about unrequited love. The first two lines tell you that, and Corey Taylor confirmed it in an interview
My two favorite lyrics are “If I can change, I hope I’ll never know” and “I only wish you weren’t my friend, then I could hurt you in the end”
I was and still am those lyrics. I’m working on it so damn much and I have a partner that showed me the biggest show of love. She discovered something I was doing that hurt her to her core. We barely talked for almost an entire week. In my head, I’m creating all these scenarios in my head because I know she’s gonna leave. We finally talked about what I did, waiting for the words, but instead of leaving, she tells me that she knows that this is not who I am. She looked me in my eyes and told me she would be with me through this journey of healing I’m going on. For years, I knew I needed to change, but no one else did. I kept secrets from everyone. My therapist actually told me I create and bubble of secrets to protect myself. She pierced that bubble and still chose me. I genuinely believe I still wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her.
Thank you for this, remember you are just a human being. You’re existence is appreciated.
@@danfarrell8341 thank you so much. It’s insane how much those words can mean, even coming from a stranger. I appreciate you so much friend
Your honesty reached out to me ,Ive realised that's how I'm feeling but could not put it into words. I'm a first time viewer of your channel, your refreshing to watch ❤️
Amanda, thank you for everything you do! Music is so incredibly powerful and is a language we need when we have no words. What you are sharing is SO important - thank you!!
11:13 the glass break, blood and following breakdown are all real
The music video was made after Paul died. The pain and screaming in the video from the glass was because this was Paul favorite song they wrote together.
Yeah I know, it was awful. Slipknot will never be the same.
@@leewesley1961 Straight up. He left some really big shoes to fill for sure.
@@leewesley1961 paul was (at the very least musically speaking) one of if not the best technically skilled member Slipknot had, he was an absolute legend
RIP Paul and Joey hope you two are flying high in the clouds
This song reminds me of my struggles when I was a teen and my god I regret all the pains I caused this song is what I felt
I appreciate your perspective a lot. I’m a slipknot fan and I still watch reaction videos to this song when the are recommended. I’ll put this on during a rough night, videos like this make me feel a bit better. Everybody has there own thoughts an connections for this song, and I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets something going and their brain to this.
Thank you Amanda 🙏 more than the analysis of Snuff, you have enlightened me more on my own struggle than anyone ever before! That was totally unexpected just like your slipknot expectations on this song!!
"Your shadow" and "splitting" these are some key things I've been missing, thank you for sharing and your explanation. I feel I'm not alone now, I love you and you'll be okay ❤
This song always gets me in the feels. Amazing song and great reaction. Another awesome video. Thank you for all that you do Amanda!!!
She didn't complete him, SHE IS HIM. HE is SHE. This is a shortened version of the "mini movie" that Slipknot produced with the wonderful Malcom McDowell as the hotel manager.
I’m going through a heartbreak and been listening to this song none stop then I stumble upon your video. It’s like having a therapy session. Thank you for doing these videos.
This has meant different things to me over the years, but the ultimate takeaway with the lyrics feels like "what we had was good, but it's over. It hurt when it ended, but we can't do it again, no matter how good it could be".
Or something like that. Like I said, it's meant different things for me over the years.
Also, give Bother by Stone Sour a listen...
I would agree if it weren’t for the angels lie to keep control line which makes me feel like it’s more about Corey thinking there was was more in a relationship he had during a dark time then there was.
This song was written about a female corey loved who didn’t love him back, later to be a tribute song to Paul gray the bassist of slipknot who died a couple days after this song was released (now ex drummer joey as well has passed) this song is barely ever sung bc corey has a hard time performing it.
It was Paul's favorite, and one of the last he'd recorded with Corey... 😕🥺
This is my first time to see your channel and glad I came across it. I love your outlook and feedback regarding this song. Like many others have already said, I’ve been through some hard times with people and this song resonates heavily with me.
Never be afraid to ask for help. Our pride is a hard thing to swallow but once you’re able to do so, a huge weight is lifted and peace within you will be restored.
I'm glad you are working so hard at being better with your own situation. I hope some day to be able to deal with my own, I have had a lot of hurt over the last decade that has caused me a lot of personal issues.
I love to watch your videos and I want you to know that you are helping so many people by being open with the challenges that you face.
Being suicidal myself, this song really strikes deep and cold into my own self-conscious. "My heart is just to dark to care." I can relate with that so much, I've had it at times, where I would literally shout at people not at what they said, but by how something inside myself clicked with one of their actions. I'm a Self-harm survivor as well, I've been cutting myself ever since my grandfather died, and that's the only way I can express my pain physically. Life has been dragging me under, and I've written lyrics as a form to ratify myself, and to express my emotion outside of hurting myself. Truly, the best music in my opinion comes from heart-ache, because everyone can actually relate, apart from songs that sing about being rich/drunk/happy. Those songs are all lies, that's the main reason I'm a metal guy, the music actually understand you.
I am so glad that you have found another outlet with your music and that you're still here. I'm a message away if you ever need to talk.
@@MentalAmanda Sure! It'd be nice to have someone to talk too. How would I contact you?
@@historyanticz6640 My email and IG are in the description of the video
I love this song! So much emotion in it. Also some other good Slipknot songs are Goodbye, and Til’ We Die. You’re an inspiration to me Amanda I truly wish the best for you!
and Danger keep away
You've been recommended some beautiful songs. Descriptions we all can relate to. Fantastic reaction. I've enjoyed following you and your journey. Stay strong.
A second comment, if I may. Your openness and rawness is amazing, healing, and beautiful. I never tire of watching your videos. Thank you for being who you are
Please listen to both parts 1 and 2 of the songs "Vermilion", by Slipknot. You'll get to hear the more heavier side of the band, but also this side of them too
Hey Amanda , try the song-In My Darkest Hour-by Megadeth.
Great request
Definitely worth a listen
"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference." (Elie Wiesel). I like that quote. Don't know if you've heard it before but what you were saying reminded me of that.
"If you still care, don't ever let me know"
Slipknot is heavy usually but there's a lot of pain and sadness in their history, I love their stuff from back in Iowa or their self titled album but this song brings tears to my eyes every time. Beautiful song and it hits so hard every time
Slipknot is a heavy band, this track was just heavy in a very different vibe… Wait and Bleed from their first album would be much more what you had expected from Slipknot.
just discovered your channel, good for you bringing mental health to the fore, and going by the reactions and things you have said you obviously have had many similar experiences to myself and similar results, this song is incredibly powerful and heavy, not musically but lyrically and brings a lump to my throat every time I listen to it, one of my favourite bands and songs and very relevant to many people's mental state
I've been through a lot thanks to my mental health, even with help and meds, it's still a struggle. I do DBT, a therapy for BPD and it works great but I myself am flawed so it's still a struggle, years after trying to work on it. You nailed everything on the head with relationships and validation. It's hard to be like us but its not impossible to live and I really appreciate your take, your effort to push for better things. Its nice to hear, thank you
It's a very short intro song but one day you should react to XIX by slipknot, it kept kept me going thru my darkest days and has very powerful lyrics
I don't know how to explain my demon's to those that never fought a war. What it feels like to take a life, the guilty feel you get when you miss the hunt. Burying men that are the closest you have to family, so much so that you say "I love you brother" when you talk to them.
I can't even imagine. You have my respect and an open ear if you ever need to talk.
Thank you for this analysis. It really hits home for me.
I never heard of splitting but that describes me so well. This brought me to tears because I never heard it articulated like that. Just wanted to say thank you so much for that
OK now do 'Disasterpiece'. 😂
I personally would've recommended the live acoustic.... Another good song of there's, about picking yourself up, is XIX
I stubled across this while scanning UA-cam. I feel this is exactly how i geel when i get to the bottom. You are so on point with this feeling.
Great review. You got it all. You felt all those lyrics. Beautiful inside n out. God bless. Indiana.
hey! please react to Monsters by Shinedown! It's anamazing song with a powerful meaning! You'll like it! Keep doing your videos! They're amaing!
His acoustic version is even more powerfull
Hi there, I'm new here. I came for the song, stayed for the reaction, walked away with a relation. I don't know you and you don't know me but you're not alone. Be strong, be happy, and never give up! You picked out many things from this song that others just can't. There's always a deeper meaning if you can find it. Slipknot is heavy. Sometimes musically, sometimes lyrically. Thanks for reacting to one of my favs for many reasons.
Amanda, Very Deep Insight on this Song. Love You !
Wanna hear an even more powerful version of this song. Check out Corey singing it acoustic on his solo tour a few years ago.
ua-cam.com/video/QBK6xymmKHM/v-deo.html
The live acoustic version is even more raw and emotional.
I was going to find, and link, that version; but, I've seen that one destroy even those whom society considers "stable"...and, someone else already beat me to it.
I'd imagine the hardest part is that one partner who understands it and can be mentally resilient as you described, is only human and will have days where they react and they will have to carry a large weight on their shoulders. You'd need friends and family to 'get it' and support too and that's unfortunately rare to find people that mature. Both parties in the relationship would need a support team. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve heard this song so many times but watching you’re physical reaction really hit home. You are such a brave person to bare yourself here and I understand so much more now about this song . Thank you so much for trusting us. Sending you a big hug from NYC
Wow. Love and hate require the same amount of passion. That made me cry, that was beautiful.
Maggot here, thanks for the video. You did great.
Slipknot has on occasion stopped shows to talk about mental health. The band is a huge subject matter expert on the topic as much of its history is dark, convoluted and rife with conflict.
Thanks for the vid and what you do on here.
I listened to this song a lot. It's ONE of my favorites. The vulnerability in it is so touching. But never have I listend to it the way you made me listen to it. It opened up a whole...new way of looking into it.....and Slipknot is generally much heavier, but they do have songs like this.
Just happened on your channel and everyday is a struggle, appreciate you doing what you do. I'm not alone and you aren't alone.
Heard this song many times before I ever understood it.....during a rough time I found the video to this song and watched it....finally understood what it was about...dissecting this and listening to it many times....this song is soooo deep and after hearing a few explanations of what Corey wrote it about...it totally makes sense....understanding this song both broke me but also put me on a path to understanding....and healing
The scene in the kitchen were the glass breaks is actually true.... I'm a first time viewer of your channel and you are so amazing and inspirational and I truly do believe that everyone deserves to be happy and listened to and sometimes that's all someone needs is to be heard without judgment.
Yup. They had to break during filming as Corey broke down after the glass broke.
Best analysis of this song (which happens to be my all time fav) I've heard.
i personally have been in a long journey dealing with shit. Thank you for covering this song. I am looking forward to my next appointment. Its been a while but im at a point i need someone to talk to. My wife is very supportive but what you said in this video made me realize that i cant just rely on her to help me fix everything as she is going through her own journey.
I am so humbled to have been able to offer this insight for you and I'm very proud of you for seeking help. 💗
Thanks for reviewing this one. It's such a strong, emotional song for a lot of people. It hits me every time, but you opened my mind to hearing it from the opposite perspective. I, like quite a few commenters, just had a marriage fall apart, but your comments have really opened my eyes to what happened....maybe she didn't quit on me, maybe I quit on her? It just gets tiresome, and is not fun to do over and over. Anyways....I'm glad I stumbled on this. Thank you.
When I got divorced in 2018, I played this song over 300 times (thanks Spotify for telling me THAT at the end of the year). I was in so much pain, and so much of this song resonated with me then. "So break yourself against my stones, and spit your pity in my soul. You never needed any help, you sold me out to save yourself." "And I won't listen to your shame, you ran away you're all the same." I felt that pain so raw, and it felt like this was precisely the song my soul was trying to sing in my tears and rage.
I hope that you are finding healing. Divorce can be brutal. I got divorced in 2021 and it was a rollercoaster emotionally.
Once again here I am...corey you have saved me so many times....your pain is my pain....thank you
I am happy I came across this video it is making so much sense with a situation I am in now
This reaction video hit me hard...
I discovered this song recently and I cry anytime I try and sing along...
I'm glad I found your channel!
7:15 I've done this...😓
I've been watching a wide variety of music reactions lately and I was genuinely surprised when you spoke so candidly about your BPD. My fiance was raised in a broken home and her mother and likely more than one of her siblings is textbook BPD and it's shocking and frankly terrifying how dramatically their whims can affect our entire family from day to day. You seem very well adjusted and it gives me hope for them that they too can some day learn to find peace and harmony in their own lives.
Well, not my mother in law, because she's also a sadistic psychopath so...
BPD absolutely can be managed and those living with it can have happy and fulfilling lives and relationships. They have to be aware of the disorder and actively working on emotional regulation and family members have to be educated about the disorder and supportive. I plan to create more content about living with BPD so stay tuned!😊
@@MentalAmanda The mother who is the chaotic center is fortunately mostly out of the picture but as far as I know she hasn't been officially diagnosed with anything. She has done prison time though and frankly should do much more. The girls were diagnosed early on but are still in their 20s and seem to use their conditions as an excuse for erratic behavior rather than actually trying to manage or understand their issues and the family members who still have relationships with them generally seem to do the same. "Oh, so and so did something crazy? Well yeah she has X and Y and used to be on Z meds."
"Oh yeah? Is she still in therapy? On meds?"
"Oh no she's done with all that. That's just how they are."
"Ok cool thanks call me when the house is on fire... again..."
@@TGIFrank That's unfortunate because BPD can only be managed when the person living with it takes action and those close to him/her are supportive.
Bless You, your efforts, and willingness to share, I was with someone with Borderline Personally Disorder. The fear of abandonment, the pushing away, the "I hate you.... Please don't leave me." Was too much and I did what I thought she wanted.... I left. I had NO CLUE what I was dealing with, wish I'd had known at the the time. Mental pain is as bad, no, worse, than physical pain. Keep up your good work.
I appreciate the fact that you are very open about your disorder... I find a very hard time dealing with mine because people tend to get away if I'm being honest
You're absolutely right. Love and hate are not opposites because I can love someone and hate them.
I hope that someone finds you and gives you what you need. We all deserve that. Sometimes, it just takes later in life than we'd hoped for that to happen.
Very powerful reveiw for a very powerful song. Great job.
YOU are so on point with splitting comment concerning this song & vid bravo
A woman that I loved very much threw my love for her right back in my face. I was somewhat of a rockstar and I went of the deep end. I ended up a heroin addict. I have been sober since Feb 9, 2017. I’m engaged to the love of my life, Shannon. She is my high school sweetheart and she is my everything. Thanks for the amazing channel! Mental health is very overlooked in my opinion.
I loved it when you said we can save a lot of heartache if people could say I love you and I know your hurting I wish people I cherish dearly could see when I'm in pain but I'm trying to stop put up my walls when I'm suffering I pushed away a girl I loved when I was in the middle of a transition from high school to the real world I was missing all my former teachers that had a positive effect on me and I was dealing with the loneliness that lead to depression since I did virtual school my senior year I was also dealing with some friends of mine who took their lives that weighed heavily. I got the help i needed. Slipknots song snuff gives me those memories of the hurt I've endured and given out as my defense mechanism.
Keep reaching out. Those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter!
This song has always helped me when I needed it. Another song to check out by slipknot is a liars funeral, that song hits really deep in my opinion.
I really enjoyed your reaction. I have never found the right words to explain to the one I cared for most but lost. Ever since said time,. Ive been so empty and lost and can't seem to shake it. , even 10 yrs later, though we still talk from time to time and still love one another. For whatever reason I've stayed stuck in my on hell, while she moved on. Rather than move on I chose to never pursue another. They say it's better to love and lost than never love at all , but is it really.
That being said listening to your analysis of the lyrics along with your personal experiences and knowledge of mental depression etc. I must say I clicked for the music reaction but got so much more then I could have ever hoped for. You gave me peace of mind. The question I was always asked was why I never fought for her why didn't I pursue her , cause like you said letting her go was the sacrifice I made for her, not for me but cause I loved her that much. . I could go on and on but I've kept you long enough with this message so I will end by saying thank you for being open with your own demons you face and struggle with. .
Again I must say excellent analysis and break down of the lyrics . Great reaction. 💯
Sometimes we let someone go to save ourselves and sometimes it's to save them. Either way, so long as we did it in love and compassion, the focus has to be on standing by our sacrifice. I'm in this boat right now. It's choppy water, but eventually, I believe we will see land.
I teared up to your reaction, as I always do when I listen to snuff, I won’t lie. you nailed most of my thoughts and interpretation of the song. You said something that will make me think for a while, “you need to be two wholes and not two halves, like you need someone else to function”…I was like…f***…the way I see the video it’s just somebody tormented by the end of a story that gets tangled so much in a bargaining-remembrance-rejection loop that he starts to…yeah, identify as the other half too, cause as you said…he wasn’t able to be a whole by himself. I hate when people think this video is weird. From the moment right before the music slows down, I believe to be the most beautiful song/video representation ever made. Stay healthy , much love from Italy.
Congrats for the 13.000! Round number right now!
Thank you so much for this analysis. It really shed light on a past relationship I had with a woman I believe that has borderline personality. She did this to me and I didn't know how to handle it. I believed that she really thought and felt the horrible things she said to me near the end of our relationship. My feeling at the time was that she was ramping up to be abusive and I wasn't willing to stick around for that.
You seem genuine. I have known people with similar circumstances to you. Dont let the haters mess with you.
I love watching reaction videos to this song. Cory is such an underrated singer. His screaming in Slipknot does not show the dynamics of his voice or the power of his lyrics. He had a couple of other powerful songs with his band Stone Sour that you might want to check out (especially ZZYZX Road and St Marie). Snuff is a very powerful song that even he chokes up when singing live. In interviews he had talked about the story behind this song and it is just as powerful as the song. Although I am sad that people relate to Snuff, I am happy to see people open up about their experiences and what this song means to them. Thank you for sharing your journey and helping others try to find their journey though your work.
He never pushed her away. You got that wrong, she pushed him away after making him promise to never let him go, he broke and never let her go, even after she was gone, that's why he "became" her.
Former drug addict
Former alcoholic
Frequent panic attacks
Attempted suicide.... earlier today was the worst
Abandoned by my father at age 7
Been diagnosed with depression anxiety issues and abandonment issues leading to PTSD.
Been a long rocky road and one hell of a fight that every day gets harder. Dax my german shepard music and gaming has been my escape from everything. As a male in america with mental health issues the stigma is absolute hell. Im glad you are here and i found your channel. You have a permanent sub
The mental health system here is screwed in general but it's true that our society has done poorly in empowering men. You are safe here and free to express anything you ever need to. I'm proud of you for being able to put "former" in those descriptions and that you are still here. I'll never abandon you.
@@MentalAmanda thank you... ive taken a break from recording for my channel to reset myself thats when i found yours
As a Combat Army vet who has been homeless and addicted to painkillers, our families have been through hell as well. My x wife especially. Thank you.
Thank you for your sacrifice
First time seeing you. Liked the video. Sorry to hear about BPD. My ex of 6 years has it. You seem very reasonable, and self aware, so hopefully you find your rock.
