Pretty mid album overall, but Face Down is still fantastic. Also, the fact that they were bold and progressive enough to tackle domestic abuse back then is pretty damn cool

Album Rating: 3.0

yep Face Down is still a tune. film clip didnt hold back either

This album honestly has quite a few bangers on it

Album Rating: 3.0

yep. everything after this has been bad though.

do you feel like uh mayohn

My last high school girlfriend used to constantly demean and gaslight me into thinking I was a horrible person, she was a heavy belieber and always tried to mold me into some copy of Justin Bieber, and if I didn't match her expectations she made it obvious. She used to "test me" by pretending to break up with me to see if I would chase after her. I had just been diagnosed with anxiety and she would send me into scared panic attacks, and yet despite it all, I couldn't get myself to leave as she made me think I couldn't exist without her. Finally I had enough, but the damage was done. My anxiety got worse and I became completely unable to trust women besides my mom and sister. I had one more relationship in college but it didn't last a week before I realized I was too messed up to hold down a relationship. I'm 30 now, haven't had a girlfriend since and I don't think I ever will.

The thing people don't realize about abuse is that it's not just the victim that becomes psychologically distorted from the abuse. The abuser constantly forces themselves to believe what they are doing is right and necessary, and as the abuse keeps going, they entrench themselves even more into that belief, creating a vicious cycle that never ends and only gets worse. Abusers are no different than cult leaders, they belief in the shit they preach, they believe they need to dominate, otherwise the careful Jenga tower that gives them power will crumble to dust.

Ending abusive relationships isn't just healthy for the abused, but for the abuser as well.

"Face Down" is an emotional bop. Fuck abuse.

Reich wake up new pasta just dropped

Damn.

LOL poor caliggy he seems like a nice guy

I'm not perfect.

"He who is without sin" and all that

please tell me you’re in therapy, and I’m not being snarky.

I will when I can afford it

As a person on anxiety meds who has dated women who literally hit me in the face, get out there dude, I can’t imagine your town is filled with a bunch of weird Justin Bieber fanatics 15 years after you dealt with that

I know, it's not like I'm choosing to not get out there, my mind just... won't let me.

Yeah seems like talking to a therapist would really help you buddy, can’t recommend it enough, it’s gotten me through some very tough things

Are you on any medication whatsoever?

SSRIs are a pain in the ass but once you find the right ones… well I’ve seen them work wonders in people. A pcp will usually prescribe them, at least I’ve never had one that was hesitant to.

Zoloft 50 mgs.

Can't praise it enough. Literally saved my life.

Good. Then yeah, that’s the hard part tbh, finding a good therapist you vibe with isn’t easy but finding the right medications is way harder imo. I’ve been at it off and on for years and am only just now finding what’s right for me. Idk we’ll see.

I didn't just get lucky. I got insanely lucky.

It was literally the first medication I was prescribed.

11 years later. Still vibing.

Aw man first try is pretty dank. Took me over a decade before being diagnosed adhd and getting Adderall.

It wouldn't hurt looking for practices that do that sliding scale model. Idk where you live but I got to get therapy for as low as $2. It is kinda luck of the draw with who you get though.
