i dunno if this is in any way accurate, and i realise you were probably joking, but oh well, hope this helps anybody who actually wants the chords. <3
Evan Edinger I'd hate to be rude, Evan... But do you really think you could play this? Dodie is freaking skilled at the piano. I'd be impressed if anyone else on YouTube could play like that.
raychul-emma the vocal stuff in the back round are what he means. the note she's playing is in every chord, but it is just functioning as the grounding note.
Well, there are chords that aren't what she's playing on the piano, she just uses a note that's in all of them... she finishes the chords with her background vocals.. #themoreyouknow
I love the subtleness. Its as if you don't realize the pure genius of your comment, further confusing others, yet getting you more fully appreciated by those that share your special kind of artful humor
the first chorus just sounds pretty. then a certain lyric hits you. then the next chorus, though you're hearing the same words, hits you like a ton of bricks. and you're crying
I've had a shit day and I just broke down when she sang "there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it" because damn, that sounds amazing right now.
Graceless I am feeling the exact same way right now. I feel like I'm slowly just losing my ability to care about what is happening around me. This scares me BC I thought I only had anxiety and I dont know where all of my depressing thoughts are coming from. Then I don't like being venerable in front of my family so dont know how to talk about it. I just relate to this song on such a personal level. Oh. Im sorry for writing a really long paragraph.
There's a song called Nickel Dream by Nanci Griffith with the lyrics: Now she wishes she looked like they tell her she looks all the time What she'd give just to feel like she tells them she's feelin' just fine.
That resonates with my in a very similar way. Hope you are doing better now ❤
yes!! her voice is so soothing and im ashamed to say i still haven't listened to all of her original songs and eps. there are so many and i usually stick to my faves. but they are all SO good so far. (;
I feel like this song hits way more hard when you take a step back from it, and really see how she looks in this video, the way she's singing and she conveys these lyrics and you realize....this video, this song, these words, she didn't just write them for us, she wrote them for herself as well.
Shauna Nichloe Dodie said in one of her new videos that this song was written for one of her friends, so that makes it so much more personal to her, and like you said it was for herself too; hence the verse about her getting through it too
LOL, transpose an octave or two. I sing the song in a deep baritone and it works fine for me. Although, I did have a hard time figuring out the chord structure from watching the video ;)
This song was uploaded 5 days before my planned suicide. When i first listened to it i was blown away and fell in love instantly. I'm probably still alive today cause of these lyrics and her so soft comforting voice. In this song you can feel the sincerity in her voice and i truly believed for once that things could get better. I love you Dodie, thank you so much. thank you.
BEAUTIFUL PLEASE NEVER PLAN THAT AGAIN YOU ARE SO MEANIGNFUL AND IMPORTANT TO THIS WORLD YOU HAVE NO IDEA YOU IMPACT MILLIONS OF PEOPLES LIVES PLEASE NEVER THINK OF DOING THAT AGAIN YOUR EXISTENCE IS VITAL FOR MANY PEOPLE, <3 <3 <3 <3 LOVE YOURSELF
You deserve to live on this planet and leave inspiring comments on YouTube videos, because it helps, it really does. No matter how much you doubt yourself there's always a purpose <3
This is amazing cause Dodie is a girl, living, and playing/writing songs on her ukulele/other instruments. But she LITERALLY SAVED A LIFE from a song. If that's not powerful, I don't know what is
I'm so glad that u are still with us, and u may feel alone sometimes but always remember you are apart of an amazing and weird group of people, and we are always here and we stand as one #dodiearmy
the singing goose so glad you're still here! Stay strong it will all start to get better soon and life will fall into place. I hope you're ok ! Always here for you
the singing goose Hey, God had a message for you and he sent it through Dodie. Glad to be able to send this reply to a living, breathing, beautiful human being. Stay strong <3
the singing goose same but I hadn’t found any songs like this. Instead I found songs that didn’t really help me with it, like “bullet” by Hollywood Undead. If I hadn’t heard that song, I would probably have not tried to commit suicide last year, would not have stayed in the hospital for two weeks, and would’ve actually finished the sixth grade. I’m very glad some of us could find a song like this to help us
i'm hoping that you can always remember that moment and keep coming back to this song when you feel like you're at that point again. just know that the entire fandom will be here for you, because that's what dodie has taught us to do. it'll be okay.
the singing goose I know that you feel like Youtube comments don't mean anything but there are people in this world who love you and you are wanted and meaningful. I hope that after 9 months things have changed. Keep fighting. You are loved
the singing goose I and everyone in this dodie community will always be here for you! Now I want you have someone to talk to but I can’t help, or atleast I don’t think I’ll be able too! I just want you to never plan that again! Suicide is never an option, just stick it out and you’ll become a better person afterwards! I’m so glad you’re still here today !
Thank goodness you’re still here. I had a similar experience and this song helped me “get through that one night”. I might not still be here if it weren’t for Dodie.
I don't know you, but I am so glad you're still here. Please don't ever even think of doing something as horrible as taking your life, when you have so much to live for,and so many new people to meet and get to know.
I hope one day I'll inspire people, and be able to deliver my own message with as much sincerity and depth as dodie. I think I'll work towards that. I'm glad your still with us
Anita Szaj I don’t know if you’re still here but I really, really hope you are. If you are, know that you are meaningful and worthy and believe it or not, things do get better, stay strong <3
the singing goose this made me cry. i know exactly what you mean. it’s so hard to feel like people care. but they do. you have done something thousands of people could never do: you told the truth. thank you and stay strong 💝
I'm glad you didn't. I also hope you're still around as I commenting it. I get it. I'm in that place a lot. The pressure will let up sometimes though and maybe if you don't feel it will get better, at least know that it won't always feel so bad every moment of every day going forward. There will be small things that will make it better even if for a a moment, like cats, and dodie. The internet is already full of ghosts, I don't want you to become one. I want you to keep having little moments of being okay and getting through it, because maybe those little moments will expand into full days and so on. Things feel like the end of the world a lot, and it can really be convincing that it is, but it's not, there are many surprises ahead If we're going to die in the future anyway, we might as well try to be patient, and not cut off all of the maybes that the future between now and there holds.
@Schuyler Pablico - that's why I'm thinking you might not completely understand suicial ideation. To be completely rational when your in that much pain (from mental health issues or terrible life circumstances) the most rational way out is death. It's easy to judge & not understand (like I used to) but once something that your literally not able to ever leave that is the choice your left with. Mental illness is real & terrible life long circumstances are real. Please be empathetic to these individuals.
This is a really old comment but I just wanted to say that, even though I don't know you, I'm glad that you kept fighting. Thank you for sticking around❤️
This only makes me want to scream to the world even more that after some hardcore therapy because of childhood trauma. I am officially NON CLINICAL :D I no longer have any labels of anything. After 15 damn years I can say I am okay and mean it. I love you Dodie..thank you for being so badass and honest about mental illness.

This is going to sound really silly but Dodie you fixed all of my mental health problems over night. For 5 years ive been self harming and been suicidal and ive tried everything but NOTHING would fix me. I went to your concert and heard this song and something just clicked inside me and i got the motivation to pull myself together and honestly ive never been happier. I never even thought it would be an overnight fix but im so grateful and it means so much that im happy again. I love you Dodie
Edit: okay like yeahh im not better tbh so sorry to disappoint you all
Life has its ups and downs! But the important part is it has its ups. It's never hopeless, and it will make sense again, even though it will also not make sense again
Heart Of Diamond eh im sorry to like disappoint but im actually SO much worse like i thought the depression was bad back then but now that seems like nothing compared to now :/
oh hun, there’s no need to apologize to anyone. there will be ups and downs, and sometimes the worst part is when you finally feel okay but you can anticipate the next low already. but someday the good times will over take the bad, like when you have the hiccups and over time they become fewer and farther in between. just remember don’t put undue pressure on yourself, because healing takes time. you owe it to yourself to recover, but you don’t owe it to anyone else. just take it at your own pace, cause you’ll get there eventually
Harley Quinn but i think you can play any note actually, it just depends on how high / low your voice is (is that how u say it I dunooo I am not a native speaker)
I always find myself coming back to this song whenever I feel hopeless. Me and My Family are currently going through the third time of my mum having cancer. It is terminal and it has given me overwhelming depression. But these lyrics just describe exactly how I feel and I feel like it was tailored for me. Its just so emotional to hear someone describe how you feel whilst being reassured that one day it'll all make sense again...<3
Sam Daly hi, I'm here for the same reason, my cousin who has been living with me since we were born has cancer, it all came suddenly and I'm still in shock, she's like my sister and I can't do anything to make her feel better, she's just 12. why does cancer has to be a thing?????????? i hope everything's fine over there, I'm here for you, I send you lots of love and a virtual hug ❤✨
kat I'm so sorry to hear that! Just know that you're in my thoughts over here and I'm sending you all my love and wishes. And tell me about it! It's such an ugly thing but it means a lot that people are as supportive as they are 💛
Hey Sam. My mum had a brain aneurysm last year, and can’t walk or barely talk. We haven’t lost her, but we were all so close. I know what it’s like to sit in a hospital waiting room, wanting so badly for everything to go back to the way it was. But things will get better, just like things have got better for me.
There are people who are there for you. Things are really bad rn but I just have to keep hoping everything will get better. And there some terrible lows in life and there are problems that won't ever go away, but there so tremendous highs in store for you.
everytime i feel sad, anxious or anything like that i come back to this song. it calms me down and allows me to think through what's happening in my mind. nothing has been easy for me in the last few years, and the lyric i can find myself in is 'there's nothing to do right now but try'. all i have been doing is just trying, and to this day i still am, but the best thing is that i haven't quit. i kept trying, even through the hardest of times.
lalizziela thank you so much! i’ve actually talked to my mum recently and hopefully seeing a doctor soon, so i hope that’ll make things better and clearer
Dodie. I am holding on to this song like you wouldn't believe. I feel this song like it's the feelings tumbling around in my head. You have such a unique gift. Your writing/music/storytelling strikes a cord in me like I don't feel with anyone else's music. You make my soul move. Thank you.
I LOVE the line where she says "There's nothing to do right now but try, there are 100 people who would listen to you cry, and I get that they don't get it, but they love you so much that you won't regret it". It reminds me of what my friends tell me, "You can make 100 mistakes, we will listen to you cry, but we love you so much that you'll never regret it". AS you can see, VERY close to that line (:
Trust me, being diagnosed didn't make me feel less guilty and insecure about my emotional state. Your emotions are just as valid. You don't need a doctor to tell you that you feel like shit. Stay strong!
I would say that you don't need a diagnoses for the issue to be real, but you usually need one for people to believe you. No one believed that I had anxiety and depression until I actually got diagnosed about a year ago.

Joanna Tsimiklis Thank you, but personally I do not think I will get out of it. Although I hope and think the majority of people who suffer will.

forrestfruits True. But in the context of mental illness you must have a diagnosis, it is not correct to say you have depression and anxiety- for example- until a doctor, that is very skilled in such matters, tells you so.
fun fact: i bought a keyboard just to learn this song. that's a true statement, that's how much this song means to me. keep it up for us low esteem's in your piles of fans <333
Reading through these comments and crying a little bit... reminds me that we're all in this together and even though we might feel alone, none of us are. Thank you for that, Dodie.
OMG in Party Tattoos Dodie said she was writing her book "Secrets For The Mad" for the past six months, and this video was uploaded 6 months ago, when she began work on it! This is like a Easter egg announcement video!
This song means everything to me, Dodie. When you first released it, I absolutely loved it, but now it means even more to me & I need to share. Last night, I had a terrible anxiety attack, & I've been struggling with a lot of depression recently as well. This morning, I awoke with this song in my head, so I decided to listen to it... & I realized that everything really is going to be okay, & there are people like you that completely understand what I'm going through. Thank you, Dodie. I love you so much.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression yesterday (whoopee) and it turns out I've had it for about 4 years. When I first heard this song I loved it and didn't really know why. I'm pretty sure I listened to it on one of my good days and just chalked it up to "Oh yeah great song good lyrics dodie's voice is awesome yes" but figuring out that I have depression has changed the meaning completely, especially because this week has been one of the hardest of my life. This morning, this song wandered into my brain and I played it again. I cried. Mainly sad tears but also hopeful tears. I will make it through. There will be a day when I can say I'm okay and mean it. Thank you for the secret, dodie. ❤
also!! if anyone feels like they might need help PLEASE GET HELP. I know it's hard (trust me, I know it's hard) but I promise you that you'll feel better if the right people know. I wish I could reach into the past and tell 15 year old Rea that what she's feeling is okay and that she just needs to open up but because I can't, I'm telling you. Even if you're not sure you have something, just please talk to a professional about it. I love you ❤
I believe something is wrong with me and I decided that tomorrow I'm going to ask for help to my school's psychologist. I'm scare that he's going to say that I'm just exaggerating but since yesterday I've been crying so hard because someone robbed me, but when I cry I just not think about that fact but about other things like I feel so alone right now and that I feel I have no one I can talk to. I'm sorry if my comment upsets you, but I just wanted to say it to someone.
This video is 4 years old know so no ones going to see this but- I was a really big dodie fan in 7th grade and I remember watching her videos in math class. She’s the reason I knew I was bi (lol) and that summer was the best summer. Her you album just came out and I was going to a choir camp. I went to a bookstore before and I remember that just life was good :) Idk how to explain any of it but yeah :) I just cried after listening to this bcs her music reminds me of a simpler time in my life. I wish I could go back bcs I would do many things differently and I’m just sad
Hey Dodie, I just wanted to say thank you for existing. I hit bottom with my depressive symptoms recently and a close friend sent me a link to this song. It was the start of looking for help, turning around and trying, and it helped me to feel SO much less alone in all of this. Thank you so much for pouring your heart into your music. This song really helps no matter how bad the days get, and I know i'm not the only one whose life is better because of your music, thank you. 💜
all these comments. all these people. going through shit i could never imagine. and you know what helped them? dodie. her songs speak to people in an unimaginable way. they speak to me. thank you, so much.
Dodie performed this tonight at her concert in SLC. Just before she began singing, a girl in the crowd shouted that this song saved her life. The song is always wonderful, but it was such a special thing to hear in that context. I was in tears by the end. Love you Dodie. Thank you so much for all you do to make us feel understood.
When I first listened, I was stucked in depression and obsession. I had to cry rivers, whenever listening, but even I felt like shit, I tried to smile, even just a little. And day by day, week by week - listening by listening it got better.. I got better. And today it all makes sense again. Believe in yourself, little diamonds!
doddleoddle i love you so much dodie, this song is exactly what i feel @ the moment. My mental health has Been a mess for the last couple of month but i know one day i will say I'm ok and Really mean it. Love you dodie. You Are so beautiful inside and outside <3 greetings from Dina.. (Germany )
doddleoddle I just wanted to say that I had been going through some very tough times with my ups and downs and anxiety and your music always makes me feel better, today was especially hard.
But this song gave me hope. I really do wish you realize what an effect you have on people. Despite being across an ocean from me, on a different continent, I have never felt more close to a person that understands.
Please, keep healthy (mentally and physically) do whatever you need to do to make you feel like you can say that you are ok because I can say it now, because of you.
doddleoddle I have a nice friend and I love her but not sure if she likes me I dont know how I am going to tell her I like her any ideas?also YOU'RE AMAZINGLY AWESOMELY TOTALLY LIT pplz dont forget no matter how hard you fall or how far you fall there will always be thousands of people to catch you and comfort you we come to you because we are fan girls and we admit it to ourselves and I see so many people saying I just found you your awesome each day for you!you deserve way more people or a ShoutOut but still some of us come here just to see how you are at the moment just to make sure your okay and you have so many fans just your the best and I enjoy that keep up the amazingly awesome radical lit work Cuz ur that awesome
Dodie? Could you write a song or record a video that is about that today is gonna be a great day? So we can listen to it just after we wake up to start the day positively
I needed this song, thank you Dodie - I've not been the best with my mental health at the moment and school takes a huge role as to why, but thank you for this song, it gives me hope. Thank you x
lol lol yeah i know that she can be down but like...actually i dont know what to say. i just really like her sense of style and the decorations in her flat. cause i have a feeling that when im older ill be wearing oversized sweaters and a plain/boring apartment
No, it's a B. When I try and work out a note in my head, I compare it to other songs with that note. I tried it with There There by Radiohead and it's a B.
Dodie i want you to know, that you are amazing and yes, it will all make sense again because of "You" and also you your self. i just wanted you to know that i love you and you made me the lil happy half rainbow child i am. thanks.
I was binge watching a Netflix show today and I recognized this song in the soundtrack! Huge congrats, dodie!!!! I absolutely freaked when I heard the first line playing on the show
you're all fools. this song is too advanced in the piano for any of us peasants to attempt it. dodie went through three centuries of studying t get this.
alienation I-l I know most people are just joking, but for the people that will get confused, she's playing b over and over again. There are two keys between b♭ and d♭, and you can see the "c" key
alienation I-l People say the ability to understand and apply sarcasm is a sign of intelligence.... I'm not hugely surprised that people didn't pick up on the sarcasm but the amount of people who didn't legitimately shocks me.
in 8th grade i used this song to cry myself to sleep almost every night. it felt so horrible. i got better for a littl ebot but now i'm back in the same place.. but i'm just glad this song still gives me the same comfort it gave me back then :')
I have been listening to this song for a long time on repeat but I hadn't ever really fully focused on the lyrics until now and they really hit me hard I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for a while and I just feel stuck this song is beautiful dodie your music is so amazing stay strong everyone 💜
My best friend was and still kinda is going through depression. I was and still am terrified because I have no idea what to say to help her. But whenever I hear this it lightens my spirits and I am forever quoting it at her. I can't thank you enough dodie for how much you have done to save countless lives <3
"and there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it" that's seriously all i want i hope life will make sense again soon at least this song is keeping me sane rn
This song makes me feel better about my self cuz I'm going thru stuff and when I found this song felt calm and my puppy was with me when I turned this song on he was curled up in my lap the whole time
Coming back to this song after remembering how much it helped me the first time. After a long day, and a confrontation that challenged and riddled my day with anxiety I sunk really low, and decided to skip a therapy appointment and a night with friends. I felt so stupid and wrong and broken, and I denied myself all of the things that were helping me get better.
Then, that night, as I crashed onto my couch, she posts this song. It was a miracle. On the day I was my lowest, she posts this. I balled my eyes out and cried for hours, just listening to this song over and over again. I still come back and listen to this song, and I'm getting better.
Really truly, you can do it. With Dodie in your ear, you can do it.
I listen to this when it came out and I was in a really bad place so today I can confirm it gets better and there WILL be a time that we can say we're ok and mean it. 💖💖 Thank you for all this years. 🧚🏼♀️🦄
you have no idea how much i needed this. i have just lost two very close family members and my grandfather is in the hospital after a dangerous surgery. i've felt so empty since the first funeral. tonight i felt like ending it all, calling it quits, but then i listened to this song over and over because i know how much it hurts to lose someone. thank you so much. love, always.
This song has moved me to tears. I've been struggling so much with my anxiety lately, I haven't been able to sleep or eat properly. But this song makes me calm down, and it's so nice to have a slow heart rate for once. Thank you, Dodie.
The first time I heard this song I broke down into tears. I never thought that there would be an artist that I could relate to almost every song and love them so much, and then I discovered dodie and I’m so happy that I did, I’m still not better but I’ve promised myself that my first tattoo is gonna be on the back of my left forearm and it’s going to be ‘There will be a day when you can say okay and mean it, I promise you it’ll all make sense again’ Thankyou so much dodie for keeping me alive
There really should be way more songs like this but I never found a song that's so raw and full of hope like this one It's so amazing to see how it helped so many people.
Throughout the whole song, the captions were really messed up, and then at the end when she says "it'll all make sense again", the captions are perfect.
honestly listening to this song on repeat so that i can stay alive tonight edit: you guys are amazing. thank you so much for your kind words and encouragements.
Jillian Loves same I have to see my dad in a week who has been abusing me physically and mentally for the last 5 years and we lost the case against him. I have to see him again.
Stay strong and im proud of you for making this far, ive been there and i know this is so cliche but it WILL get better life gets better just make sure you're there to see it <3
I want to have a good singing voice, be all of your personal friend (so it's not weird to say this) and sing this song to you when I hand you a good cup of tea.
Jillian Loves I hope you're doing ok. Even if it seems dark and hopeless, stay strong because I truly believe things will get better. Sending you lots of love. ❤️❤️❤️
2 years ago I was hospitalized for suicidal ideation and now I'm the happiest I've ever been. I burned my way through, and I don't regret it. So will you. <3
han han Please hang on. If this song doesn't do it, then do whatever it takes--look up at the stars--make yourself some tea--have a good cry in the shower--call up a friend--say a prayer--listen. I'll pray for you right now. I'm in a really tough spot too, and this song was ok but what's keeping me going is the light inside, God telling me I'm gonna be ok. Whether you're "religious" or not, feel that higher purpose and hang on.
I wish I could, but my internet goes it and I just have to sing it horribly until I fall asleep, all the while thinking of those who DO love me and attempting to block out the horrid thoughts
Panic!atthe Twentyonechemicals same, I always just go into a deep spiral of thoughts and it makes me feel like I'm drowning (like Dodie says at the beginning) I have been doing everything she says to do in this song, and it has helped a lot
The single note reminds me a lot of the feeling of a dissociative episode. Everything , inside and outside muted down to an insistent , overwhelming buzzing in your brain, that swallows every other emotion and sensation. Memories cut off from you , new experiences erased or detached from you - and all you are left with is using logic and working to buy yourself the time to break trough it with phrases you can barely understand, as they make no emotional impact. Dodie's music helps me get trough - and it might be ironic, since she may be struggling with something similiar during the recording. You learn to remain functional on the surface.
1 year, 4 months later and this still makes me feel that weird mix of smiling and crying and hope and knowing which I need at low points in my life. Thank you Dodie. ♥️
Okay this song is just everything to me - when it started I was like “hMm okay I like this” but I thought it was just another comforting song,, but when she says “and I get that I don’t get it” it broke meeeeeee and it breaks me more every time I hear this songggg. Also when she says “I promise you” it feels really personal, and the effort she puts into the word “promise” is just skkskwdksks 🥺🥺 uwu I love you so much dodie youre really helping me get through a lot,, you helped me not to start cutting,, you gave me a reason not to🥺❤️
I am having one of those nights its 1 something. I feel so crap and I needed someone to tell me its gonna be okay. It just feels so helpless and lonely. Thank you Dodie for making this night not get any worse x
this song honestly makes me cry because i was listening to this during the hardest times of my life and every time i feel like the habits are coming back this song just reappears in my mind again and it just brings this feeling to me... i can't explain it but my pain gets numbed for a little while
I've listened to this several times every day since it was posted and cried. I'm about to be 18 and I'm getting a tattoo on my birthday. I think I'm going to get "you're at the bottom, this is it. just get through, you will be fixed." on my ribcage. This song means a lot to me❤
@Jared Kioshi Ayyye we have the same name. And I know it will, but I think it'll be totally worth it. That line applies to my life so much that I'd be completely willing to go through the pain for it.
go on pinterest and search pre tattoo, theres a bunch of tattoo "guides" on what to do leading up to and following your first tattoo to make sure it all goes well! also, make sure you over prepare for it. learn the tattoo laws where you live, find a place that follows them properly (and still double check when youre there) and preplan your design, but still without getting too hellbent on one specific design as some artists like to add their own personal touch to each design just to make them unique to them, but also dont be afraid to speak up if modifications are being made that you dislike! tattoos are hard to remove, so you wanna be super sure that you end up with something that matches the feeling in your heart so it stays meaningful.
@harryp SU vids Well I didn't get this, but I got two thick black bands on my wrist and a thin one on my forearm that has birds on it. A black one, a pink one, and two blue ones.
@MarbleGray Yes, but it's kind of my thing to be the only one who knows the meaning. I don't know if you're into Twenty One Pilots, but the singer, Tyler, once said: "The beginning of purpose is found in creating something only you understand." And so my tattoo is this special thing that only I understand.
Of course I'm into twenty one pilots. I am seeing them in... eight days. Yeeps. But ah, somehow I thought I might get that response.. Yup. That's amazing, and I hope to be able to create something I understand one day as well. (: |-/
Aw, I'm sure you will get to have another chance to see them at some point. They tour quite literally every day. (; I happen to live in movie star land, it's quite annoying for traffic and tourism but has some benefits.. One week left!!!! (:
this song really hits close to home as i have an uncle who has a mental illness that makes him feel that everyone is hates him and want to hurt him and also makes him never wash because he it afraid of cleanliness products
I always come back to this song when it feels like my head feels more messed up and confusing than normal and it always helps... thank you dodie, for a song that has and will help so many
So, I was sitting on my roof listening to music. Then this song came on while I was considering walking off it. I was able to tune in to the words and felt like it was just meant to be… thanks for saving my life Dodie😅 👍💞
When you sing "I promise you it'll all make sense again" it makes me cry because it gives me hope when I can't find much right now.
Lately my medication hasn't been working and it has taken a large toll on me because for one week the new meds worked so so well until I went into a depressive episode that was horrible.
Thank you for shedding light on mental illness and all that stuff it really means a lot to me.
This song is so comforting right now when I feel like I can't do it anymore. Thank you Dodie, thank you so much xx
This song is honestly how my depression feels, I've been listening to it cause a lot of my friends don't understand what I'm gonna though. And this song helps me so much, the think is I don't know if things will ever make sense again for me be they never really did in the first place. Thank you Dodie for making such a beautiful song, you and this song both mean the world to me. Have a wonderful day
This song is absolutely my new obsession (I love all of 'You', of course!).
On the EP version I love the way the backing vocals come in nice and powerful towards the end. I like to think of it like a whole bunch of 'your' friends joining in with the main one (the singer) to show you support :) .
Dodie, I feel like I am not worth anything and about an hour ago I was ready to give up. I then remembered about this video and it really got me through it. I doubt I'll ever be truly happy but when I needed it you were there and I am so grateful for that
You are a beautiful human. The planet is lucky to have you . Keep going, I promise you'll find a reason soon enough. Remember that you're loved, and that people care.💜
You're a lovely and beautiful soul, please don't give up, so many care about you... If you ever need to talk, please don't hesitate to ask! Lots of strength, love, and luck <3
You are worth so much and there's plenty of people who will be there for you. I know happiness seems out of reach but you'll get there some day. Be patient with yourself. You'll make it.
I don't know you, but I know that you are a beautiful human (you have to be if you like dodie, as well as Dan and Phil). You are a gift to all of your friends and your family. If you can't find the strength to stay alive for yourself, then stay alive for them. You are so, so much more than what your illness makes you think you are. Having suicidal thoughts means you have an illness, so if you haven't been diagnosed yet, go to a doctor. Just because you can't see it DOES NOT MEAN that it's not a disease that can be medicated, just like pneumonia or chicken pox. With the proper medication and the right friends who you can open up to, I promise that there WILL be a time when you will be entirely happy. Don't give up, keep fighting, and you will get there.
I was just feeling like absolute shit an hour ago... and I heard dodie's EP version of 6/10 and i fucking bawled my eyes out, she has helped me. And I'm glad she has helped you too . I wish you well, it'll all make sense again. Trust me.
I love how this song can relate anyone going through difficult situations and not just depression. I have a close friend that is having family troubles and I showed her this video knowing that I’m here for her even though I cannot be there all the time for her
Honestly I always come back to this video and this song when I need a little bit of hope. I love everything about it: the beautiful lyrics, the calming melody, your sweet voice and the magical framing with the fairy lights and the piano outside the door, just far enough away that it feels like the viewer is looking in on private, deeply personal thoughts and feelings, but close enough that we can see you and feel and share your pain.
I was listening to this on Spotify just now and I broke down crying. These words are so much more powerful than any other song I've ever heard meant to make me feel better. She says that she gets that she doesn't get it, but with this song, I feel like she does get it. I still have tears in my eyes...
this is just one of those songs that genuinely will always make me cry. it hits so close to home. jesus . thank you so much dodie. its so great to know how much you can mean to someone, even if you've never met them
Ever since the first time I played it this song has been a go to for when I'm in a bad depressive episode and needed it. Tonight after a especially restless night and a especially bad panic attack. I rlly needed to hear this. I've never been more thankful for music or for Dodie than I am rn.💛
i'm going through a really thought time right now. this song helps out so much honestly knowing things will get better knowing people are out there willing to help❤️
when this song came out and i had nothing to hold onto but these lyrics, i never imagined i'd have such a happy day i'd be able to listen to this song without crying. thank you dodie.
I'm having a really tough time at the moment, and this helped me a lot. Particularly 'there's nothing to do right now but try' - because my worries are getting ahead of themselves. For now, I will just try. <3
dodie, i have no words. all I can say is that I really, really needed this song. you did not disappoint. thank you for making amazing music for all of us to sob along to, and teaching us valuable lessons through song. i love YOU and your music. please never stop creating.
It's such a weird coincidence, because I was just reading through my diary from last year and remembering how bad my mental health was at the time - and thinking about how much better things have become and how far I've come since then. And then this song suddenly popped up in my recommendations. It just somehow reflected exactly how I feel right now and what I'd say to myself last year if I could speak to her. This just came at exactly the right time for me. Last year I thought things would never get better - and I'm still not perfect, I'm still scared, but I'm fighting through it and life does get better, no matter how long it might take.
This song reminds me of warmth, of sitting and crying over these very words, of small fires and fairy lights. This i the winter dodie, that makes you feel the cold air but the warmth of blankets at the same times. I like this dodie.
You're beautiful in every single way, inside and out.. your voice is so soothing and you're so talented... your songs are soooo clever and touching, the harmonies and melodys you create are pure greatness.... you are awesome and things are only going to get more awesome for you. Your attitude and mindset is both artistic and inspiring... keep doing what you're doing and never give up xx beautiful heart,sound and look.
listened to this song every night before going to sleep for 2 weeks straight and i'm still doing it, it puts me to sleep so easily and the lyrics hit hard. thank you so much for writing this dodie, i love you so so much ❤️
I was recommended this video and as soon as i heard the first note I was overwhelmed with memories and trauma and just broke down crying. When I first learned about Dodie I was going through a really hard time in my life, discovering my sexuality, gender, and I was in an unhealthy relationship to make it worse. I listened to this song when it first came out and any time I was upset I would turn on this song and just cry everything out until I felt even a little bit better. This girl meant the world to me then, and even if I don’t think about her as often, I will continue to have nothing but love and respect for her helping me through what I’d say was one of the worst year of my life. Thank you, Dodie.
Oh my lord. Dodie. Thank you so much. You could've saved tons of lives(you most likely already have). I was considering suicide and self-harm when this song came on. I've gone through a lot in my life. Dodie, thank you for cheering me up, and thank you for being so optimistic. You are a blessing to this Earth. I know you won't see this, but I love you. <3
I remember first listening to this song when I was feeling really depressed and I fell in love with it, and now I come back to listen to it whenever I'm not feeling okay and it really means so much to me, thank you dodie for this beautiful song
I got here too late. This song would have gotten me fixed faster. Most of the songs you write I can relate to but some of them relate to a earlier time in my life. This song is so beautiful and true, everyone going through a hard time deserves to listen to this.
I cried to this. Seriously. I've never cried to a song. I bought the whole album on iTunes after hearing this. I know this sounds cheesy but the lyrics in this song have changed my entire outlook on life. Thankyou SO much for making this song. It's helped me so much.
In the few weeks since I first heard it, this song has become very important to me. In a few days I am being hospitalised for mental health problems, and I'm absolutely petrified. This song helps me to feel like there is hope, like someday it will make sense again and everything else this song says. This song is beautiful and the lyrics are so powerful. It's such a lovely song and I just want to say thank you for writing/singing it. It means a lot to me.
Eva Smart I'm doing alright. I'm still in hospital, but I'm making a lot of progress with my recovery. I'm a lot better than I was. Thank you for caring x
Ath Athanasius you guys are so nice! Thank you. I'm doing a lot better now. I have 3 weeks of treatment left before I'll be discharged. To put some things in a little context, before I went into hospital I was almost completely housebound because of my mental health struggles, and today I have just finished 3 days of camping at a music festival. That would have been unimaginable when I wrote that first comment. This song had continued to help me. Something about it is just so earnest and encouraging. I don't know how many times I've listened to it now. Thank you all so much for caring. It's so encouraging. I'm still looking into what will happen when I get discharged, but I have so many more options than I did before. Obviously most of that is the treatment, but sometimes you need a lovely song like this or people caring enough to ask how you are to get you through the terrible moments and into recovery. Thank you :)
tiamat100 Okay this is a really old post but this almost made me happy cry. It just makes me so happy when people recover for some reason and I don't know why. Anyways I'm glad that you're doing good.
these live music videos are so beautiful :') does dodie record her voice and then lip sync? or does she sing the melody live on the camera & then add the recorded harmonies?
hey Dodie, I've been watching your videos and your songs are all so meaningful. I've been wanting to write songs like you do but I've been struggling a bit. you've inspired a lot and you're such a nice person. we love you, Dodie! :)
i used to listen this to calm panic attacks or while trying to talk myself out of suicide and its been a while since i needed to hear it but im so thankful its here
Whoever is reading this i want you to know that you are special, you are important and, you are loved. There are so many people that care about you, so just know that there is always someone willing to listen and care. Just take the time to stop and think about the things you have and know that we care.
I have to admit, I've been subscribed for a while but you got lost in the field of all the others I'm subscribed to... You slipped under my radar until I heard this song. What a beautifully simple piece which I'm sure has resonated with thousands of people like myself, who have either been affected by their own mental health or been touched by it somehow.
Wish my older sister was still around for me to show her this while she was going through her own battles.
I first listened to this song a day after I tried to commit suicide, it really helped because no one tried to help me and I fell so related to this song
this hits hard in my emotions, i'm going through a rough time right now. i can't sleep and i'm crying a lot, as well as i can't really think straight and make rash decisions that hurt me. "it'll all make sense again."
I always come back to this song for comfort when I'm feeling depressed or going through anything in my life, honestly. I love this song and I'm really thankful it exists.
"There are a hundred people who will listen to you cry." Agreed Dodie. Everyone, I'm one of those hundred people you can cry to if you need. Let it all out, and I'll listen
I've listened to this song countless times and you have no clue how much it has helped me and impacted my life. When things get hard for me I replay in my head it'll all make sense again and it helps me reach some perspective. I am overjoyed that this song will be featured on your new Ep, I look forward to carrying it with me everywhere I go (literally). I thank you deeply and sincerely for this song and the message within it.
I have never been more touched. I first listened to this when you uploaded it in december, and I didn't really listen. I heard it, liked it, but didn't really know what it said. Since the beginning of march I have been struggling with depression. One of the biggest downfalls for me now, is feeling like I am burning, broken, useless and mad. This song has a special place in my heart, gives me hope and makes me feel like I am loved. Thank you dodie, I could not cope without you, your wonderful voice and your creative talent. Thank you thank you thank you <3 love from Holland
"I promise you it'll all makes sense again"... This line... It hit me like a fricking thicc truck.... I'm currently in a really lost place right now... I... Don't know how to go on... But... I luckily... I still made myself a purpose to live on... Since I don't want to let my close friends or family to feel what I am feeling... I would rather to suffer a little more than to make the people that mean the world to me... To feel guilty for not understanding me... For not talking to me a little more...
This song for real makes me cry every time I hear it because I need to hear it right now and also I can remember so many times I wish I could’ve just said this to myself.
All of Dodie's songs are very dear to me , and I've related to a lot of her songs before. But this one for some reason just hits me really hard. It's the only song of hers that leaves me sobbing every single time I hear it. Maybe it's because I've had a stressful few weeks, I don't know, but this song just really gets to me. This one is going to touch a lot of people.
I've commented on this before but it never fails to touch me. I wish I could tell her how much I appreciate her music. You help me keep going dodie. Thank you.
I came across this when I was experiencing the worst my mental health has been through and during an anecity attack where I couldn’t stop shaking and I was sat in my room at midnight listening to it over and over crying, and 8 months down the line I’m fine, but every time I listen to it again I can’t help but tear up and feel so strongly towards my health and it’s proof that I burned my way through, beautiful song.
this song got me through so many tough times and hearing it again after almost a year is so relieving because i truly don’t think i would be here writing this day if it wasn’t for this song.
Listening to this song just brings me back to when I was recovering from my wisdom teeth. I was obsessed with my yellow sweater (still am) and was going through more shit then I care to explain. And somehow hearing this again I realize how much things have changed and most for the better and I feel like that is so relevant to this song it's crazy how life works. Man I love dodie.
I sing along to this now knowing that this song saved me when I first heard it 4 years ago. It will be okay, you've just got a little while longer to push through :)
beep beep this is the only thing that makes me feel any sort of emotion anymore !!

ya know, I listened to this about a year ago when I first discovered your channel, and I didn't think much of it (dont get me wrong: it's a nice song, I get the point, but I just didn't identify with it). When I saw it in my recommended today and clicked it, I figured I'd be crying by the end (with how shitty I'm feeling right about now). Never would've known I'd start at around the 2nd line. Shit.
Edit: yep, second line still hits me like a ton of bricks.
dodie... your song-writing has just come on leaps and bounds over the last year or so and I'm in awe. this is such a stunning song. it kinda reminds me of Feist, if you know her - the way you developed something so beautiful, meaningful, capturing, out of something so simple. the rhythms and harmonies are just yES. also your voice in this? holy balls. you nailed those high notes and ornamentations like wow wow wowwoww wow wow wow omg.
Izzy Inkpen with every new song, it becomes harder and harder to believe that her songwriting skills can ever possibly improve anymore - yet they continue to step it up a notch, every single time, without fail 😂😱😱😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️😭
After a re-listen I realised I forgot to say I love the clarinet! I loooove it when you use your clarinet in songs it brings such a gorgeous tone in that's p unique for pop songs :)
"i get that i don't get it." is something that really helps to hear and really just means a lot. you don't need to understand, sometimes you just need them to be there
I cried hearing this song for the first time tonight. I connected to this song so much that it almost felt like a window into my own experiences. Thank you so much for a beautiful piece of music dodie, I do hope it all makes sense soon ❤️
Someone very close to me who is suicidal listens to you and your music everyday and the impact you've had on her is beautiful and amazing. As someone who also has been there and 'burned my way through,' I just want to say thank you. Thank you so much for opening up about struggles you've had and how you cope, just showing that no one is alone in these feelings. Thank you for inspiring me to seek help instead of remaining to self harm and drink because I am grateful everyday for finding this amazing new light and that's thanks to you. Keep doing what you're doing, because I never knew that just watching someone on youtube could save lives until I found you.

THANK YOU DODIE I REALLY NEEDED THAT. THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL FEELINGS YOU GIVE ME. I LOVE YOU AND I MEAN IT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
Dodie, I found this song at a time when I most needed it. Thank you for that time and every other time it provided me with comfort and reassurance in a time of need.
I abhor repetition so it really speaks volumes that I have fallen in love with this song. Dodie’s voice and one single note played over and over and over and over and yet, it’s magical.
This is just so great! I feel ok now I told my best friend about my anxiety and depression today and you are right she just listen and told me that's she would always be there for me! Thank you so much you and your music keeps changing me for the better. Love you lots!
i like to think that this song is dedicated to my younger self who was so lost and felt alone and left behind because of emotions i didnt know how to handle yet at the time.
"there will be a day where you can you're okay and mean it. i promise you it'll all make sense again."
Initially I didn't appreciate the true beauty of this song, but now I can't stop listening to it. Every part if this song is precious, not just one or two lines like I normally pick out from songs
Same here! The first time I just skipped this song. I just listened to it again since 2 weeks and I really love this song now. Thanks to Crankgames, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about it again.
It’s 3:30 am my family is asleep and I’m awake and contemplating my life and my death. I listened to it and I sang the whole thing and it’s so gentle and quite that I wasn’t even concerned about waking other people up. It’s so calming.
I am so in love with this. By this I mean how you only play one note the whole song, the absolutely amazing lyrics. The comment section is like a big group therapy session, its amazing what u have created dodie!💕
Dodie, I'm currently suffering from the wort anxiety and depression of my life right now, and all I can say is thank you. this song brought me to tears lol
This is still one of my favorite songs. In fact, I made a music video for it! Just finally got it uploaded this week. Thank you for gifting the world with this song, Dodie!
Probably my favorite song you’ve ever written, and probably will always be my favorite song you’ve written. I love you so much, just thank you for these words
Dodie's different to other singers on youtube, she uses different camera angles and like in this one has two of her in one room. You are great at singing, playing the piano, editing and loads more
I feel so overwhelmed because I remember listening to this the day it came out, I burst into tears because I thought I'd never get better. I feel the same now.
Thank you Dodie, thank you so much, please never stop doing what you do, I hope one day I'll be able to say I'm ok and mean it, but for now you're the thing that helps me get closer to not being...well, mad!
Dodie, Thank you for writing such an amazing song. Just hearing this song gives me hope about my mental illness. Your music and you sharing your struggle with mental illness makes me and so many other people feel like they aren't alone and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for that.
you won't see this but this has helped me so much. I just imagine my friend singing this to me and I can stay for a day longer. you're music helps people never stop making it
This song is amazing I cried so hard when I listened to it. The part where it says "there will be a day when you say you're ok and mean it" those lyrics are so powerful every time I sing them I start crying. you and your channel are just amazing I've been watching a lot of Evan edinger. Cuz you are in them is part of the reason. This song is so powerful as are many of your others and thank you for learning the hard way and then teaching us. There is no way we could ever repay you ever for what you do. Thank you dodie Clark
this song is 5 years old today and I wanted to come take a moment to say how much this song means to me. this song has comforted me through some of my worst times possible and reminded me that things will be okay again, and dodie I’m so thankful you wrote these lyrics. thank you so much for sharing this song with us <3 ily
With every dodie song I hear it gets stuck in my head for at least a week and I don't even get sick of it. When Intertwined was released, each song got into my head in turn (first sick of losing soulmates then intertwined, when, hole in my tooth, life lesson, etc.) This week it's been this.
honestly, when i first heard this song i thought it was nice but i didn’t relate to it or need it. now, this song is what’s helping me through everyday. every time i listen to it i sob because it means so much to me.
claire mcalister same here, I forgot about this song until I heard her sing it on snapchat earlier. I'm deeply depressed right now and looking for everything I can to pull me out of it. This song and especially the comments are helping a little bit.
I can't believe this song is over a year old. It has saved me from so many nights sitting on my bathroom floor crying because I was falling apart. Thank you for this.
I don't think I've ever been so grateful for a song in my entire life.. Thank you Dodie. In my darkest days this helped me so much, like a nice big warm hug. Thank you Dodie, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I know that dodie wont probably read it but this song saved my life. When I felt useless and hopeless and tried to push everyone away this song made me feel better. I am still struggling with depression but it helped me more then anything else. Thank you.
I know I said when and 6/10 and even SALS were my favourites at one point... but this truly is the best work you've produced, dodie. for about four months I listened to this every night to help me get to sleep. I still listen now and then, but I can't thank you enough. You were the only constant in those horrid months. This sounds a bit crazy, I know. X
I honestly cannot count how often this song has been there for me, dodie's voice the only one talking me off the cliff of all the ways I want to self-destruct and kept me hanging on long enough to access help. I wonder if she reads these and realises how much this one song alone has done for so many of us who live with the pain of being neurodivergent, of battling chronic invisible illnesses people stigmatise or judge us for just because they don't fully grasp how exhausting an ache it is to live a life where your brain is both trying to protect and harm you at the same time.
Hey dodie, I've recently finished an album and towards the end I started to lose my style, and watching this video really helped me find it again. Thank you so much, I now need to go cut some songs!
hey dodie, ive just recently found you and i’m obsessed. this song reaaaaally touched my heart. i have been through a relative amount of trauma this year after being in the manchester arena attack and it has changed me both for the good and bad. this song is so amazing and it just really touched my heart (x2 hehe). i have no words i can’t explain how it makes me feel but wow :)
This is the most reassuring song I’ve ever heard and it’s so nice for someone to admit they know people won’t relate but they can relate on that instead. Thank you
i really love the fact that the whole instrumental is just one note. it makes the song feel raw, and puts so much emphasis on the words. all the little ohs and ahs fill in any silence without taking away from the message, which i feel too many notes would do, this was so well crafted dodes <33
I love this and it reminds me that things do get better and this relates to a big part of my life that I've been through and that things are working out and I'm learning new things so I want to thank you for this song
This is one of my favorite songs of all time by you.and I literally can't wait until tomorrow night. In 23 hours and 52 minutes I'm going to be seeing you live and I'm so excited! After all this waiting I can't wait! You're going to be amazing! I just know it!
This reminds me so much of how I felt last year, I burst out in tears in a mix of sadness and incredible happiness. I hope I can share this someday with someone who needs this <3.
To anyone reading this and needs it, I promise you, from experience, it gets better.
I love everything about Dodie. She's so.. so great in every flipping way. She makes songs that speak to everyone. It's amazing and she's amazing. She's also like really flipping adorable and I love her style
this song came out the day i got out of the hospital. i was there for a month for my mental health. This is a huge reason i go its beautiful and inspiring and just helps so many feel not alone. thank you dodie for making this you are so strong and beautiful you are my hero
I am so glad that I stumbled upon this channel when I was looking for covers of Death of a Bachelor. The songs, the lyrics that even though don't affect me because I have never gone through what Dodie has gone through or the thousands of people in the comments explaining and telling others what they're going through and how the song means so much to them still impact me in a way I'm not sure how. It must be the beauty and the meaningfulness in the music or even her that makes me replay the songs over and over again. The people that Dodie surrounds herself around love her and truly care about her like the many people in the comments section who can never get enough of her, it's so beautiful.
I love this song. <3 For years, I struggled with depressive-anxiety. For years, I didn't know I did. I just thought I was weird, or too emotional, or just dramatic or not normal. I believed what everyone told me I was, including my family, because they didn't understand that there was literally a sickness in my brain that I can't just overcome with happy thoughts and forced smiles. I used to look at my friends and wonder why they could be so happy at parties and hanging out with each other, and why I always felt so left out and isolated. I used to be told "if you keep worrying all the time, you're gonna die early!" Well, that was almost true, because a few months ago, after dealing with this condition for years and all the shit that built up, I really did almost take my life. There was only one thought that stopped me: "other people have been through this. Just find someone and get help."
That day, I put the National Suicide Prevention Line phone number on my speed dial. Then I broke down and told my husband what was going on. He was very supportive and, while he doesn't quite understand my own problems, he does his best to give me what I need. I called a therapist and set up an appointment for that week, and have been going bi-weekly ever since.
I was terrified the therapist was gonna put me on suicide watch, or tell me all the things I had been told my whole life and continue telling myself, but she didn't. She really listens, and gives me methods and exercises to try to help me control my brain instead of just pushing pills down my throat.
Guys, if you're to that point, just remember that so many of us have been there. If you need someone, call the suicide prevention line: 1-800-273-8255. Get to a doctor. Talk to a trusted family member or friend. You're not alone, and you're not crazy, and you're not anything that your mind tells you that you are.
God Dodie. First time I listened to this I focused on the calming music. Second time I really listened to the melody and cried. The third time I cried harder.
the first time i heard this song it didn't really strike me as a great song, i was in a good place in my life. now that i'm low i realized how beautiful this song is and how much i really really needed this song. thank you dodie.
I preformed thus song in front of my entire musical theatre class and was really nervous but afterwards everyone was cheering so thank you for that Dodie
This hit me really hard, I absolutely love this, I listen to it when I don't feel well in the head. Thank you so much Ms.Clark, it is very likely that this song saved my life.
when i listen to this song i get a huge tingly feeling all around the top of my head especially during the last chorus when the big chords come in and it's so full and beautiful.. this only happens when i listen to music that i have an emotional connection to
Every time I listen to this song I cry. Thank you Dodie, you always create my favorite songs and I can't believe I hadn't heard this one yet. You are my favorite artist and I admire you so much. Your music has helped me move on from terrible parts of my life. Thank you, I truly appreciate you. You even inspired me to start writing music again.
It's 1:41 AM, and I'm drinking a glass of Merlot. I'm in an extremely low point in life, and this song really speaks to my soul at the moment. Thank you Dodie, this song means the world, as do you. I hope everyone reading this had an amazing day today and is doing ok. You are so loved and beautiful, thank you for existing.
Every time. Every time I feel down. Every time I feel spaced out. Every time I feel anxious. Every time I have a panic attack. I listen to this song, or I sing it to myself. It's beyond just a song to me now. Thank you dodie.
TwoTwelveAM I just commented about that too then I saw everyone else's comments about the timing. It's like you feel this way and you don't even realize it, but the only thing that will really resolve the way you feel is a Dodie song
So here I am, 2:45 in the night, crying to „sick of losing soulmates“ and this crazy wonderful song, wondering about why I ever wondered about comments saying „this song made me cry“. I love you dodie, your songs are just too relatable and that‘s so beautiful.. to know you‘re not alone.
When I first watched this, I was going thru some tough times. Now I'm coming back, almost two years later, happier and smiling, realizing she was right.
I didn't know I needed this song until my sister sent it to me, and I have never cried so hard at a song. The line "I promise you it'll all make sense again" gets me every time, and it's beautifully sung. This song is a gift. Thank you.
Sometimes when I'm having a mental breakdown at school I lock myself in the toilet and listen to this song over and over. The lyric that makes he feel hopeful is "there will be a day where you can say your okay and mean it" thank you for this dodie
I always come back to this song, no matter what, it makes me feel hope even when i feel none, when i feel so numb that i cant do anything. This song means a lot to me and i always cry at it. Thank you dodie my love x
Josh played us the studio version of this at SITC & I was stood by myself with tears streaming down my face but I wouldn't have been anywhere else because it was just so beautiful
As much fun as I have playing all of Dodie's songs (mainly sick of losing soulmates) I'll probably just be playing this from now on because I'll be amazing at it!
i just came back to this video and i have to say.. i’ve always liked your voice a lot but you have developed so so much! didn’t know it was possible but your voice is even more amazing now. i saw you live last week and it was the best thing ever :)
What she sang was totally true. I've listened to this song for about a month to comfort myself, and at this moment, it all makes sense again. THANKS dodie!!
I've been watching this over and over again, and am finally commenting. This entire song is like... like a hug. I've been going through some hard times at school, with friends, and struggling against my intrusive thoughts. But this entire song just... helps. I especially live the line: "little things, all the stereotypes / they're gonna help you get through this one night" because I struggle with feeling too... normal. Thanks for everything Dodie. I'll burn my way right through it.
This song makes me feel so much better about how I constantly have to force myself to not feel depressed. One day it will get better, even if it isnt gone. Someday it will all make sense again
Thank you so much for posting this, i'm sitting here with all my blades laid out, and trying to choose which one will do the most damage. I've been clean for 7days, and I keep having breakdowns and this night I have almost given in, idk if I still won't do it, but this is really making me feel better. I was sitting here in tears, when you posted a bit of this on your Instagram story and I really need to hear it so thank you x
My mental health I can feel is going very quickly into a downward spiral at the minute. My sleepless nights, paranoia and panic attacks are on the rise again. Listening to this made me curl up in a ball and cry, thank you Dodie so much. I really needed this right about now
this song saved my life. december 6th 2016, i attempted suicide. i am diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety at age nine. i was writing my suicide notes and crying at like 2 in the morning my eyes burning, struggling to find the motivation to close them. dodie then posts this. without this song..i wouldn't be here today. thank you dodie x
so last year I was heavily suicidal, depressed and agrophobic (phobia of leaving the house) and the past couple of weeks have made me become how I was then. This song always lifts my spirits, even if it sometimes just a tiny bit.
"And that will be a day where you can say you're okay and mean it." Those lyrics hit me really hard because this whole year has been really draining physically, emotionally and mentally... 😕
Listening to this song in two different tabs about 5 milliseconds off gives it a lovely subtle depth and echo. Just gotta spend about five minutes getting the timing just so... That's all...
Dodie, this song played on Spotify randomly and I didn't know it was yours. I added it immediately and then found out it was yours. This is so amazing and one of the best songs on my playlist
DODIE! I just stumbled across this on your channel after browsing for any new material of yours and man, do you know how to construct soothingly haunting vocal harmonies, my god. The stripped-down-and-naked nature of the instrumentation gives me the sense of sitting deep in the wells from which emotion springs where only the most simple and the potent reside. Quality work, as always. Cheers.
My favorite song! It's so heartfelt and beautiful (like all your music) and I really enjoy it, and you're such a great lyricist! My favorite lyric is "there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it." It really helps me sometimes, and again this entire song is so so well written. You're one of my favorite artists (if not my favorite) and you make such meaningful songs, unlike many artists, which I appreciate so much. Thank you for being who you are, Dodie. You're a wonderful person.
I I remember sitting and crying when I first saw this song. This beautiful song was heard by different ears now and then. My absolute best friend who is amazing and beautiful struggles with depression and self harm. I remember texting her threads like these. I remember being severely depressed and I just broke down and cried after preparing my razors. Thank you thank you thank you thank you for sending this message out.
Today I've felt really shit and things just got worse than they already were and this song has help me so much omg I can't even tell you how much it's helped! Dodie OMG I love you so bloody much 💘
every lyric gets me and understands me. But mostly the one "there are Hundreds of people who will Listen to you cry" I cried today in Front of my Friends because it became too much for me. I just layed there, my face buried in a pillow. All five of them just sat next to me and pat my head or hugged me and just Listened to me cry. It's true. They rlly Do it
dude im gonna get 2 tattoos on each arm saying "in a little bit of time it wont hurt so bad" and "there will be a day where you can say youre okay and mean it" this song saved my life multiple times , thank you dodie
I love this so much it's honestly my favourite song in the world I listen to it every morning when I'm having a bad day or every night to help me sleep if I can't it's so beautiful and the lyrics really hit home
so i'm currently bawling my eyes out having the worst anxiety attack i've ever had and i feel like i'm gonna die and i decided it would be a good idea to listen to this on repeat until i can stop crying. update: i stopped crying after the third time. i'm still terrified, but at least my face is dry.
When I heard the lyric "There will be a day where you can say you're ok and mean it," it reminded me of my best friend. She has been struggling with mental health. She has gone through, and overcome self harm. I still think she is going through things, like anxiety and depression. I don't know what to do. I care about her so much. When I heard that lyric I instantly thought of her. She always says she's fine when she's obviously not. Her birthday is coming up. I heard the lyric and stopped everything. I wrote out the lyric on a piece of paper, in different fonts, and in different layouts. When making it, I started crying. I care about my best friend so much. I'm giving it to her on her birthday. I cried twice while making it. That lyric means so much to me.
pretentious ukulele it's sad cause I am this friend and I had no clue how this affected them. I went and apologized to all my friends. I didn't even realize which makes me feel worse. I'm still sobbing (btw is you profile pic of Micheal from BMC?)
My friend is the very same. She's been in and out of mental health facilities in hospitals and has so many different medications and side effect problems and it's been so hard. And my anxiety has been increasingly getting worse and worse and I'm going to the doctors in two days of writing this to hopefully get medicated. That lyric hits me so hard for both me and my friend's sake. So much love to your friend. She's a fighter. 💛

this reminds me of my best friend as well, except she never overcame anything.. i worry about her a lot but everytime i tell her that i care she just says "okay" and stops talking. one time i got her to open up and she told me she had planned her suicide. i was trying not to breakdown crying. all i could say is "please remember to talk to me."
Emma, all you can do is try, be there for her. Not everyone can be helped in the end, but that doesn't mean we don't try. For some context I've had a life-long struggle with mental health issues including anxiety, depression and both suicidal ideation and attempts. I'm still here, and that is in part due to friends, even if my life is far from brilliant. I've also been on the other side, desperately trying to help friends and lovers with their mental health. I've been lucky enough to not lose someone that way yet.
If a friend does finally leave this life PLEASE realise that's not on you. Remember to practice self-care whilst extending the hand of friendship.
pretentious ukulele thats so nice. I wosh i had people like you in my life,my friends are backstabbing ungrateful people and at this point even if I went and begged for help they wont even bother listening up. Its really sad, not that I have such friends or whatever but that I invested so much of my time in this,when its just idk...

Update- my friend is finally doing a bit better with a good medication. And I found that part of my problem is my thyroid and I'm currently being medicated for that before doing anything else. It does and will get better.
I dont know if you will see this but dodie, thank you for everything. I have had so many times that ive been laying on my floor asking to die. But your music keeps me alive, it helps me remember that if i can just get throught this, and one day it will all be over and i can truly be happy. Love you forever💙
Dodie thank you so much, all the comments are from people saying that this has given them something to hold on for, and it's done the same for me; so please, keep doing what you're doing, you're making the world a better place <333333333333 (etc.)
Gasp! You have synesthesia too? And you like Jane Lane too? Let's be friends. :) (My synesthesia is the type where music makes colours, and I'm an artist so its especially awesome.)
@Madison Recker I wouldn't wish for it my dear. As interesting as it sounds, it can sometimes lead to sensory overload. Whilst it is an amazing thing to have, and I can say it is quite astounding, it's hard to express what you mean when someone doesn't understand what you mean when the sound of trumpets is orange :)
Omg guys! I googled synesthesia because I didn't know what it was and I discovered that I might have synesthesia too! I had no idea! I have the spatio-temporal type, which means I can "see time", ie I have a mental map of days, weeks, months of the year, ect... in my head, and I also visualize numbers. It's crazy!! I thought it was completely normal
wait what?? theres only like 6 recorded people with synesthesia in the entire world... i find it hard to believe that theres 6 people in this random thread on youtube that legitimately have synesthesia. sry that but thats just extremely unlikely. maybe 1 or 2 of you do but the rest's pants on fire lol
Me: You just ruined the whole image of the blue pixels of the piano and green waves of the violin with your sharp screechy olive yellow goddamn voice so stop ruining my aesthetic s'il vous plait and shut up. Person: ......
rm rm It's a really common thing. Your source is probably wrong because even just in my school there's tons of people that are diagnosed and take a medication for it. We should know better than an outsider looking in :/
Annie Russell well shucks.. after doing a bit of research, it appears im very wrong. my apologies to everyone. apparently its only in the last few years that modern science has began recognizing sysnesthia as a real thing and people who have been keeping it to themselves their whole lives are surfacing and "coming out of the closet" about having synesthesia. the documentary I watched was probably 8-10 years ago so I geuss weve learned alot more about the condition since then. nowadays they estimate about 1 in 300 people have atleast 2 of their senses that mix up in some way. very interesting :p
I have the type of synesthesia where I can place different parts of music in different places in front of me, and I see colors when I like the music I'm listening to. This is wonderful, I agree.
Annie Russell oh no worries. didnt feel attacked :p but was outnumbered which was cause for some research :p felt like there was something to learn in front of me lol. #learnsomethingeveryday :p
This comments' section is so unbelievable in the best way. People sharing their struggles with mental health. What a beautiful thing! We're finally talking about it and YOU helped start that conversation, Dodie. What a magical movement you've started. ❤️❤️❤️
I listen to you lyrics.. they mean something, always. in the song you say something about how we (the world) hear you (the "mad") cry but we don't understand, and how it's ok because we love you enough to make up for it. I'm glad we do! all I want is to help, but it's hard to do that when we don't understand your pain. all we can do is be there to love. I love you Dodie, bye
I just listened to this song again for the first time in about a year. I think I’d forgotten it existed for a while, because I’d crawled out of such a bad situation that I needed to listen to it less and less. I found it again by a random YouTube search and it all came back. I still know every word. This song helped me through and horrible time in my life because I so desperately wanted to believe her words, that one day I would be okay. I’m not okay yet. But I am better, and I’m getting better, and even though I still have horrible days where I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, they’re much less frequent now. Most days, I can and do believe that I will be okay. And I will be. Thank you, Dodie.
I've stood in the dark, and wondered why I bothered. Its a cold, bitter place, and I don't suggest hanging around, but its songs like this, like unexpected hugs from someone you never knew was watching, that keep the candles burning. Thanks dodie. And I, for one, adore your brain.
listened to this months ago when i was really sad about something and extremely low on my outlook on life. still here. still loving people and life. i don't regret a single day.
thank you so much dodie. i really really needed this, and it means so much to me right now. i've just been feeling lonely and empty a lot lately, and you've really helped me out.
If just felt so empty lately. I've never felt so emotionless in my life. Things I've loved to do no longer interest me, and I find myself ignoring those texts from the people I love. I don't know what's up, but I'm trying to work it out with myself, as I have a horrid fear of opening up to others. Dodie just helps me out along the way.
I'm not one to cry because of a song. I can literally count the amount of songs I've cried to on one hand, but man I cried during this song. I love it so much and I'm so glad you uploaded it, this is the kind of song I needed to hear right now, thank you so much Dodie ♥️
dodie, this song is so beautiful and I can't say it made me feel better, but it definitely helped. I'm still struggling, but you're right, one day it'll be okay. This song makes me feel so many emotions and I could never do it justice, but I tried my best if you'd like to check out my cover. You're amazing and I love you and thank you for everything!!
Dodie Clark has always had her own way with music. She's been through some very difficult times, which, even as a devoted fan, I'm sure I know next to nothing about, and has overcome said challenges, going on to make a beautiful song about it whilst motivating others, in just a single note. Dodie Clark is a badass.
I remember crying over this song when I was twelve, and now after five years of getting worse and worse I’m finally on medication and in therapy, and I’m finally getting closer to that day when I’ll be okay and mean it. I wish I could tell him that it really will happen for him, and we won’t always hurt that bad
this made me burst into tears because i've felt so severely depersonalised and i just wanted to be able to celebrate christmas but i just felt so not real and when i listened to this i could smell my mum making banana bread and i had memories of why i loved christmas so much and this just made me so much calmer and thank you so much dodie you are such an inspiration
I always thought this song was fine but I was at Dodie's Glasgow concert on Saturday and this song was so great and intense and emotional, I almost cried, the girl next to me was crying
thank you so much for this... your new EP and especially this song is the only thing I'm listening to. its on repeat. i just recently just got dumped by the love of my life, the person i love most, because he fell out of love with me even though he said i'd done nothing wrong. i'm also suffering from depression, and it has become so much harder and worse after these recent events... this song makes me feel like i'm not alone, and also makes me feel like you're here for me even though we're just strangers. so thank you, for being so talented and such a beautiful person inside and out. for being so kind, so understanding and so lovely. you are my inspiration and my hope. <3
It's been almost a year since I've discovered you. And I'm never going back. I admire you so much. I'm reading your book right now and already, it's helping me see things differently. I love you Dodie.
The only light in my room right now comes from six candles, my phone screen as I listen to this. And I'm crying. I keep trying to tell my friends how I'm not sing too well with my mental health rn but I never do. Something always comes up. Its hard to deal with this basically alone. I love you all so much. Keep trying and be wonderful. Stay alive friend.
I came immediately came back to this song to listen and read the first page of Dodie's book and can't wait to read it all. I'm bringing the book to school and I really hope that someone reconises Dodie on the cover :)
I really like the line “I promise you it will all make sense again.” because it’s like the phrase it will all make sense someday, which is a saying I Hate because it’s so unfulfilling. This lyric however is very satisfying.
I never know how to communicate this message effectively but here it goes: Dodie, thank you for always being true and real and authentic. It makes life easier when your idol is an actual person and not a PR stunt
oh my goodness, one year today <3 i remember when this came out and i fell in love with it. it's still one of my favourite songs. dodie is so wonderful
Andrea Rochel2021-01-13 06:51:12 (edited 2021-01-13 06:56:03 )
i wouldnt get through high school without this song. i was so depressed around that time. it was before I even realized I got a toxic best friend. my old best friend specifically told me "you're not depressed". its as offensive as it sounds but i was stupid enough to believe they were right. my mum also disregarded my mental health. she would always yell at me and hit me for failing my exams. whenever i try to open up to her shed just tell me that its just the demons in my head and basically gave me speech that i should pray more (bc shes a very religious person). i felt so alone but when i listened to this song i realized it will be ok soon.. and it did. Quoting the lyric of this song, "there will be a day, where you can say you're ok and mean it". It is very true. Im so grateful to have dodie in my life. Thank you sm dodie.

Poor Dodie must feel so awkward standing there with her index finger on one piano key, but brilliant song it's my favourite of yours x
almost the same problem, yet people tell me i'm good at song writing but i cant sing for crap... i also hate playing the uke and singing in front of people with their eyes and ears paying attention to all my mistakes. lol
when i first heard this song, the lyrics didn’t sink in. it almost seemed boring and pointless to hear one note on a keyboard over and over again. i used to skip it when i was running down her playlist of originals and struggling to maintain my busy college lifestyle.
it wasn’t until i needed to hear the words that my brain actually absorbed them. it was like i was hearing the song for the first time. i cried and cried because the words meant something so important to my sick brain. the thoughts i needed so badly we’re finally swirling through my mind.
thank you, dodie clark. i might not be alive without these beautiful words. these three and a half minutes of one note on a keyboard. with a lot of patience the world finally does start to make sense again 💛💛
Idk if anyone will ever read this but I need to get it out.
I finally felt like things were going okay. I'd reached a point that life was going somewhat smoothly. But now I feel like I've screwed everything up.
See, I made a new wonderful friend one month ago. When we first met I had no idea I'd fall for her. Alas, I did. I admitted my feelings and was told that I had a chance. I held on to those words and hoped they'd come true. But now she's changed her mind. And I'm just wondering where I went wrong.
I feel like I always mess things up in one way or another. I hate that I get attached to people so easily. I just want to feel okay again. I say I'm fine but I'm not. I've been broken too many times. My " best friend "hasn't spoken to me in five months, while other friends constantly ask me for help but when I need their help, they're never there. I'm scared of loosing the sweet new friends I've made. And most of all I'm afraid of loosing the girl I fell for. I really hope everything will be okay in the end.
Dodie, I'm holding on to these lyrics with everything I have. Thank you for these songs and your amazing personality from the bottom of my heart. 💛
Liz Kayser Thank you so so much :) Things are going better now, my crush and I are becoming closer friends and I have a new guy best friend who loves and protects me like a brother. It all seems to work out in the end, even if there are rough spots along the way. Thank you again for your kind words. have a wonderful week :) ❤
i’m going through the same thing, and i’m so sorry you have this problem. it sucks ass, lemme tell you. but you just have to ride above the fray and be stronger than ever....i’m sure you can do it♥️
I can totally relate. People that I think are my friends leave me on read half the time, and I try to be nice and make friends, but I think everyone hates me for one reason or another. Listening to Dodie is so calming.
I needed this so much today, I have watched it so many times since you put it out there, but today especially I just.. I needed it a lot. So thank you.
@Socially Awkward thank you, I'm okay, and I don't have Snapchat but I just have a lot of weird stuff going on in my brain/mind at the moment but I'll be okay :)
Faith Jones I'm sure you'll be ok, you'll get through it but there are so many people willing to talk about things so if you ever need to talk there are so many wonderful communities on YouTube :)
Faith Jones Course, I'm sure I'm speaking of the behalf of a bunch of people right now but I'd never want to see anyone going through something alone :)
Dodie, I’m not sure if you’ll ever read this, and if you do I don’t expect or need a reply but I wanted to tell you genuinely how much this song has affected my life. I’ll make this short and without any trauma dumping. I first heard this song about 4 years ago. Since then, I’ve survived so much. So much that I probably shouldn’t have and more than a few times that I almost didn’t. When the world and my mind were dark and I felt as if there was no hope left, I listened to this song. I listened to your soft promises and reassurances that it would make sense and that it would be okay. Sometimes I believed you, sometimes I found it really hard to believe you. But I always listened. I hoped you’d be right because you had to. I needed you to be right. Things have been hard, harder than I can even express, but I don’t regret it. To say you saved my life might be an exaggeration, but your words gave me hope, even when my mind told me not to trust you. Today I realized that you were right in everything you promised.
Finally I can proudly say that I am ok. And I mean it.
I always come back to this for a little middle of the night cry. ♥

this song always makes me cry. just reminds me of when I wanted to end it all, and then i feel that way again, that's how emotional and powerful this song is for me. I was bullied badly, lost all friends, switched schools and despite having "friends" at that new. i still wanted to die. The thing is i never told anyone i wanted to die. it took months to have the guts to tell my mom. Her response? "you need help" she had this long talk with me later that day and I felt like I should have never told her, seeing how upset she was that I felt that way. On top of that I barely ever see my dad. Doesn't help that he is a recovering alcoholic who sells wine. Heck, i found some in his care a couple weeks ago. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, and those who are my friends but i wish i had more. I'm not a bitch but i feel jealous when i see people i know on instagram who get comments all the time saying "i love you!" "you're so hot". Not that i need validation but a boost of confidence would be nice. Anyway, thanks dodie for a beautiful song.
The other day, I was singing, "I~, promise you~, it'll all make sense someday." (Though I'm now thinking you say "again" rather than "someday.") I knew it was from one of your million songs, but I couldn't for the life of me remember which one. xD! Happy to have stumbled back on this. Can't wait for your book to arrive!
Camilla Hansen That's not true, you're just pretty in a different way. You're you, and Dodie's Dodie. You're supposed to be different, and that's not a bad thing for either of you:)
I love this song because I relate so much to it. My anxiety has gotten pretty bad to the point where the thought of talking to a friend or going out to the movies scares me. Ive thought about what's the point of trying or going outside or socializing if I'm gonna be terrified. I hate my anxiety. This song makes me know that I can get through the terrifying things and have happy moments. Thank you Dodie
I don't normally comment on videos, but I have to thank Dodie for this song. It sounds almost silly to say this has saved my life too many times - but it's true. Whenever I am down, and close to doing somehing very bad to myself, I can listen to this song and gain hope.
So Dodie, from me and all the others this has saved, thank you xx
This is such a beautiful song but when I watched this video I couldn't enjoy it as much cos I was concentrating too hard on how she managed to concentrate on that one note and sing without getting out of time.
just got the title tattooed on me today!!!! argghh I just love how pure and supportive this song is, and I find when I'm not feeling my best mentally it feels like theres someone who understands.
I'm so obsessed with this song I have listened to it over and over. All of the songs you write are such an inspiration and I love you so much. Everything you write is always perfect <3 Thank you.
So I have recently gone through a breakup and because I suffer with anxiety and depression I went into a really dark place where I'd be sobbing yet hyperventilating through a panic attack. When I'm having a panic attack I whack on some music and try to sing to distract myself. I was listing to Dodie's 'You' EP and this song came on and it's been helping me get through this ever since. So thank you Dodie :)
I just started high school today and it has been rough. Not rough as in having TONS of homework on the first day. I mean rough as in rough on my mental state. It's just that there are so many things that the teachers want me to do and I'm just terrified that if I slip up then my whole grade will be ruined. I'm getting so caught up in the rules, but not getting caught up in the classes. There are so many little things about the classes that are just adding up into one big mess. And now I'm in the thought process of "I just REALLY can't do it anymore. I'm going to be stuck doing work I don't want to do or need to do and I just want to escape. I wish I was just... gone." And that is still how I feel. I feel like I can't do it even though I'm a great student. I was literally crying earlier because of all of this. It's just super overwhelming. But then I turned on this song for some reason. I don't know how but I just kind of remembered that it was here and so I decided to listen to it and I'm glad I did. The lyrics are really calming me down like "there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it" and "it'll all make sense again" that last lyric is really helping me. It's giving me a sense of hope. Do I still feel trapped and want to be gone? Yes, but Dodie is kind of helping those things not become so heavy.
I cry to this. Every time. But they are tears of happy.

There are good songs that make you feel like dancing, and then there are Dodie's songs that just speak to your soul and make it dance along with you :)
Hi it's me again. This song man, it really just helps me. Reminds me things will be okay and whilst my head is a mess again I know there will be a time when it's not
Lol i got bullied for my short hair today. It's night time now, I put this on under my pillow as I was trying to sleep and the first half I was frowning, and on the second half of the song i was smiling :) "I promise you, it'll all make sense again."
I remember listening to this when I was in such a dark place wondering when that day would come and knowing there where not 100 people but now it has got better
Trying to burn my way through right now. Every time it feels better, it gets hard again. I've had days and times when I could say I was ok and meant it, but today is not one of those days. But I hope it will make sense again soon. Thankyou Dodie
Whoops, I thought that was her hitting those low notes at the beginning of the second verse, but I loved the clarinet. I never would've expected it. It's so beautiful.
It’s 2:59 A.M. and I had to listen to this song. I’ve been thinking about my suicidal best friend and it really gets to me. I love him so much and it’s so hard to see him go through this. I’m his last “obstacle” he says. Once I stop caring for him, which won’t happen, he can go. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone when he goes so he wants me to stop caring. In his head I’m the only one who cares. He’s an online fiend btw. And no, it’s not one of those weird manipulative online people. He’s my best friend and I’ve know him for over a year now. I’m going to send this song to him tomorrow as a song suggestion, I hope it lifts his spirits even in the slightest bit.
I can't handle this,, looking through the comments, every one being so supportive of everyone, everyone saying the truth. This is so beautiful, I can't believe what you've done. When Youtubers say them and their subscribers are a family, I never fully got it. Then I looked into this video and my have I been enlightened. God I love you dodie, and DEAR LORD I love every single one of you down here, maybe one every one will get there happy ending but I know right now I am so happy here and I never want this to end <3
This song means so much to me because none of my friends ever ask me how I'm doing. How I'm feeling. I always am relling mysekf that I'm okay. I'm not.
I had come across this right before planning to commit suicide after months of self harm and depression but this raised me up to keep moving and now 3 years later I still have bad days but I made a full recovery from my self harm and I rarely feel depressed I also don’t have depression anymore because of this song I learned how to love myself
Dodie, I needed this song. Recently I've been having a crisis with my anxiety and depression, and I busied myself in trying to find a song I thought I had heard. After a couple weeks, I realized that the song had probably never existed, and I had just wasted a month of my short life looking for help that didn't exist. Well, you just made that help. This is the song I was looking for. Thank you, so much.
Thanks dodie, for not only teaching me that there is always someone out there, but that sadness is only temporary ✨This song got me through sleepless nights of pure tears, through nights I can never get back. But now I look back at how many times this song has helped me and I don’t regret a thing. We love you ❤️
Omg!! Dodie, I love you so much your account makes me so happy. You have such an incredibly beautiful voice. You are so relatable and so real. If I could meet any youtuber it would be you. I wish you so much happiness and good luck for your life.
i know you probably but when im having a day with just numbness ilisten to this song, party tattoos, and you and your voice is so beautiful and it calms me down and i love you and thank you
OH MY GOD I REMEMBER YOU SINGING THIS ON A LIVE STREAM FROM A FEW MONTHS AGO AND EVER SINCE THEN IVE JUST RANDOMLY GOTTEN IT STUCK IN MY HEAD SO ILL JUST BE HUMMING IT IN THE SHOWER
bc of the piano i kept thinking i knew it and when she sang the first note i remembered what it was from and i was so happy! i love this song so much and it's so amazing
The most calming and comforting thing in the world to me is playing a playlist of Dodie in one youtube tab and then in another a 10 hour rain soundtrack on a low volume. Played at the same time I instantly feel a little better like maybe, just maybe everything will be okay.
OK. I love his channel so much.. The song got me so emotional and I love it. I can't wait for the new ep to come out I just can't wait!! (Edit: Grammar fix)
I can never thank you enough Dodie. You saved my best friend. She was going to kill herself and I was losing hope and no one believed me when I told them. Then your song came out and I played it for her and I dont think she would be alive today if it wasnt for you
i listened to this song when you uploaded it but i didn't listen to it properly. now, i've come back and i'm properly listening to the lyrics and sobbing. i'm at an extremely low point of my life right now and you are honestly pushing me through everyday. i never thought anyone could save my life but everyday you continue to amaze me with your talent and beauty and it makes me want to carry on. thank you for being such a beautiful woman who i am truly in love with
hOW DID YOU DO THAT? I WAS SO DISTRACTED WHILE LISTENING TO THIS AND THEN ONE THE FINALS "i~ promise you~" COMES IN AND I START TO TEAR UP??? Like all of the worries i repressed are suddenly stronger than ever, woah.
Just went to your concert in Cardiff Great Hall. You played this song and fuckadoodledo it hit me. The way you were looking into the crowd for familiar faces and the song itself. Thank you for being you on this.
Amazing! :D I love the line "and I get that I don't get it" because sometimes we don't understand what the other person is going through, and admitting it is important. Otherwise we're gonna keep insisting we do and pushing our not-well-thought-out advice and solutions on to them because we think we know exactly what's going on. Sometimes we do get it, but it's important to admit when we don't.
doddleoddle hello, please know that I was having a rough day with a few rough moments and I heard this song now that I am home and you genuinely made me feel a bit better. My family and i love your videos and songs, Freckles and constellations and My face are my favorites. I saw your awkward song with Jon I believe and I was where I became hooked. Thank you for being you and thank you for making us all smile and feel better. hugs!
this past year was extremely hard for me. My parents are separated and I had been living with my mother. My step dad was awful to me and I put up with a lot of stuff. I decided to move away and leave all of my friends and family to live with my father. My dad is a very selfish guy. He always put me on the back burner and I just went through a lot living there. I had lost almost 40lbs living there because I was just so depressed. I decided to move back and start over. I was angry about everything. I was angry at my dad for leaving us when I was a baby and just not caring. I was angry that my mother had chosen my stepfather over me. I was just angry all the way around. The day I listened to this song was the day I moved out a year ago. So many emotions were brought up. This song just hit extremely close to home and gave me hope for the better. Dodie, you are truly a blessing in disguise. You might not see it, but you are one of those people who just brings a light to this world. Keep up the amazing work💛💜💙❤💙💜💛💙❤
Am i the only one who noticed that the only instrument in this is her playing the same note on the piano the entire song, and yet this song is still the most amazing piece of music i've ever come across?
hi dodie ur probably never going to see this bc this song is so old but thats alright its nice thinking u can see it:) i started listening to u and this song about fiveish years ago now which is crazy to think about but i remember hearing these lyrics for the first time and reluctantly agreeing to them and singing along because i thought things would never get better for me but that i could always hope they would, and for like almost three years things just kept getting worse. looking back on this song now, after things got significantly worse but then much better again, was so strange. i was literally sitting here smiling and happy-crying/nodding because everything started to make sense again just like you promised. so thank you:)
I somehow completely forgot this song existed but during a dodie binge i watched the ask manager josh video where he says this is his favorite so i came back to rewatch it and oh my goodness dodie, this song is not only beautiful because your voice is absolutely amazing but i am currently in a very strange mental state with taking anxiety medication for the first time and figuring out how i am mentally going to deal with all of the stuff going on in my life and this song is just exactly what I needed to hear. god bless and keep being amazing and vulnerable and real.
Dodie I know there are thousands of comments saying the exact same thing I'm about to say but I'm listening to this trying to stay alive and trying to keep my bestfriend from killing himself I know dramatic but I just wanna say thankyou this song has made my night last a little longer and is giving me hope tonight. Keep being amazing.
One of my friends has been depressed for four years but hasn't seen a therapist because she thinks she'd just be wasting their time. I'm sending this to her tomorrow to try to show her that everything will be alright in the end, thank you Dodie.
the lyric 'and I get that they don't get it, but they love you so much that you won't regret it' hits me. i keep trying to make myself believe that at least one person loves me. this song was uploaded like 6 months ago but i still come back to it 'cause i've been struggling so much for such a long time and this gives me at least a little moment of comfort.
even tho you're not reading this, thank you so much dodie.
Fuck me up. It is too early for this. It hit me like a freight train. I'm 22 and for years I've been going back and forth from doctors trying to get help for my depression and anxiety. It felt like so much effort and wasted time for something that never helped or worked. A few months ago I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 disorder and everything seemed to click into place. Why none of the medications I had tried seemed to help. Why my symptoms felt like they only sometimes matched. Why some days I felt so fucking invincible and the next I was floating in the endless abyss of emptiness. For the first time in my life I feel like I'm getting help that may be working. I've got a psychiatrist who isn't blaming everything on me being gay, or fat or on my parents divorce. Who actually listens and knows how to help me with something I can't control. Someone who is making it easier to deal with day to day. I'm hoping I'll one day (soon) be able to say I'm okay and mean it 😍😍
M Sings I tested it for its color hue, and this yellow is a more “Sunshine Yellow 34”, while dodie’s yellow is more of a “Sunflower Yellow 42”, or dodie yellow ^^
I literally was looking all over at all over for this at Barnes & Noble, and there was this table that said ‘new releases in paperback’ and I thought jokingly, ‘what if I found it?’ And. It. Was. There. I made a mini scream and my mom was mad.
Please do Although to me it seems like Dear Happy is more about witnessing someone being happy and wanting to absorb it while around them, not actually feeling happy yourself
doddleoddle haha, I get that, I'm a mess of emotions myself. I love your work and I really appreciate your bringing it in the world for and letting many of us see that we aren't as alone as we thought, and that somebody does indeed get it.
idek how to describe this song. this song puts me into an emotional state. its been three months since ive seen my dad and ive been diagnosed wkth depression. this song puts me at ease. i listen to it whenever i cry and dont stop until im done crying, thats how much it means to me. when i am old enough to get a tattoo, i plan on getting a song lyric from this song, even if i no longer like dodie then that will never change the fact that she her songs have helped me through such a rough time.
Here after my first ever panic attack. I needed to find something that would calm me down after such a long day. Reasoning behind the panic attack: My best friend took my phone while we were at a skating rink with a few friends. He wasn't aware that I had anxiety and panic attacks, neither did the rest of my friends. So as he went skating with it and two of my friends tried to catch him, my breathing got heavier and faster. I fell down against the wall and tears filled my eyes as I couldn't control it. Luckily, my friend Mallory came back with my phone and I started calming down. They were confused of why I was tearing up. My best friend came back, laughing, then laid on the wall next to me out of breath. He saw my tears and my chest going up and down quickly. He asked me what was wrong and I told him about my anxiety and that I had a panic attack. He felt so guilty. I told him it wasn't his fault; he didn't know. So yeah. My bestie feels guilty for not knowing about my anxiety and it had lead to my first ever panic attack! So here's the story for anyone who actually read this far. Hope you had a better day than I did. :/
I just had an entire therapy session about this song. When it came out, it held so much sadness for me. I would listen to it and cry because dodie was right, I didn't believe it. I couldn't see how the things she was saying would ever be possible for me. Listening to it again now, I'm sitting here crying because I'm listening from the other side. It makes sense. I've made it through. Thank you dodie. It truly means the world.
this reminds me of my boyfriend.. i want to sing this to him when we video call again. we cant meet up because he moved two states away. i love him so much... i want to help him, see him, hug him and tell him it'll be alright. we'll meet again. "and there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it". our love is patient, Donnie. don't give up. we'll be beside each other someday. <3
i don't want you to get more famous, not because i don't want nice things for you. actually, if i really love you i wouldn't want you to slip into all the chaos of being famous. but initially, i don't wanna lose this intimacy i have with you through your lil lovely and overwhelmingly calming videos. i love you tremendously because you are just you and i don't want that to change. your happy concerts with friends, your little appreciated efforts and everything, i just don't want it taken away even tho i will never meet you and there is nothing in common between us except the loveliness you give me through your words and messy emotions 💞
thank you dodie. if it weren't for this song i wouldn't be here.

I honestly broke down when she said "there are a hundred people who will listen to you cry" because I've managed to screw up nearly every single important relationship in my life

it's been one year since i tried to take my life, thank you for helping me get through it. i'm learning on the getting fixed part, that will take time and that's ok.
See, this is why music is so amazing. Look at all these comments! Look at how many people feel so much better from one song! Look at all the aching hearts that have been warmed! What a beautiful kind of power that music possesses!!!! How lovely is this!!!! Friends, there is always hope and love surrounding you. Sometimes it's hard to see, but it'll always peek through right when you think you've lost it forever- it might even appear on your YouTube subscription feed. Thank you so much for the beautiful song Dodie, we love you!!!!!
O S you and me need to get out more. I hankered after a reply from Liam Fray of the Courteeners (feel free Dodie to do a cover of one of their songs, maybe Tip Toes from their latest album) on Twitter. I eventually got a silent reply (or evidence that he had read my tweets) - he blocked me!! Still, in ur case, I'm glad that Dodie responded to you albeit with a mathematical expression: less than three wotever that means in UTube speak. :-)
At the risk of sounding weird, I am in love with your expressions in all of your videos. It's almost like I can feel the emotion in every song. You can tell they mean something to you, not just another song to throw out there. Well anyways, love you and your work. I've seen this video at least a hundred times since the post. this and When are my two favorites
I'm looking in the mirror, who do i see But a broken, tear stained girl looking back at me She has invisible scars she carries through the day And most don't even look her way. She's been hurt before, she has many a bruise But this pain is unlike anything she's known. Can't you see behind her eyes of glass? She's going to shatter once this moment has passed. Keep it together, she tells herself Put your jar of emotions back on the shelf. But it's of no use, she can't take it anymore As the saying goes, when it rains it pours. However, though you think you've come to the end of your rope There is always a reason to still have hope. Hang on to that glimmer of light with all you have And never forget what you can learn from the past. ~just something I wrote after finding out the one person I truly love is seeing someone else..
i love this because it gets stuck in my head which for one is good because it's a fuckin ace song, and two, like,,,, these are the BEST lyrics to be playing in your head repeatedly??? because it's a constant subconscious reminder that "in a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad" which is TRUE and that "there will be a day where you can say you're okay and mean it" which is TRUUUUE and my brain is usually buzzing with thoughts that are quite the literal opposite and it is SO HARD to get those thoughts to stop or replace them on your own with positive ones (like these lyrics), but because this is a song and a fricking GOOD 1 it just gets stuck in your head so easily that the negative thoughts are replaced without having to try and i just,,, its so lovely, it's like honestly therapy in your head THANK YOU DODIE BL ESS YO U
I haven’t listen to Dodie in a while... I use to watch and listen to her a lot a couple of years ago and listening to this song helped and just looking back at myself from that point it’s weird....
ugh i'm a songwriter/singer too and i cannot understand how time after time she writes these amazing, heartfelt, true, passionate songs that literally the entire world can relate to. literally crying from how powerful her words are, tucked into a short but amazing 2+ minutes. could listen to her music all day srsly...
this is mine and my fren ambers song. we met on Instagram. she was going trough a tough time, so I DMed her telling her to listen to this song. we've been talking for a month now. this is our song. and we listen to it whenever we feel down and talk about stuff. this is so so so very special to both of us. and basically our friendship started on this song. almost like a message from me to her or vise versa. whenever we felt sad we'd just listen to this song and think about each other, because it's our song. telling each other we'd be okay, and it'll all make sense again. I love her so much 😭❤️❤️❤️
Carsyn Diane I love you so much❤❤ I'm so happy you dm me you're my best friend and I can't wait to meet you one day. You're so sweet and so beautiful I love you so much ❤
OMG in Dodie's new videos she said: "I've been working on a book for 6 months and it's called Secrets for the Mad!!! This was published 6 months ago!! I think she's messing with us loool
Im really late but I think this is exactly what I needed. I am sobbing. Thank you
Edit: this Morning I looked in the mirror and said im ready to go, im ready to kill myself. I had honestly made peace with myself. Im not saying that im fixed but this song definitely keep me going to wake up another day.
dodieeee. you seriously have something incredible, im going to be so proud and selfish when you make it in the big pond one day and we can all say we knew you first on youtube.
second time ive listened to this song ever, want to class it as the first time because I didn't really listen the first time. if I did I would've cried then like I am now.
from listening to this song i have learned two things. 1) you cannot run away from your own brain 2) there are people who know all the feelings i am feeling. and lastly (i didnt include this in the things i learned because im struggling to believe it but) one day there could be hope, i might be okay, i might make it through this, and for now i guess thats all i have to hold onto. i hope that one tiny string is enough to hold me up.
For anyone reading this..thanks for still being here. You matter. You are strong. You are beautiful. You do matter. Life can be hard sometimes, yeah, but ur more strong than life.Ur doing great. Don’t give up. I know you can do it. There are so much people that care about you, and even if i don’t know you, i care about you! You valid, don’t ever give up, never ever. Love u all!💖
Listened to this song so many times. Not feeling too hot emotionally right now and I always know to listen to your music and I'll be okay. Thank you Dodie. This song is a mental illness anthem.
dodie if you see this then hello i love you you have the biggest impact on my life but here it goes i have been have these days where i feel numb i cant fell anything im not happy just 2 feelings sad or nothing not fine nothing i feel as though the life has been drained out of me the thing is im so young i have so much time left and i dont want to wast it being sad but when i watch you videos i get a smile on my face so just long story hope your songs and amazing videos so from one human to an other not fan to youtuber you are my hope wait theirs more i also think im non binary
all of dodie's songs are literally PERFECT for like a quiet of looking at the stars or watching rain and snow fall from your window like this is soooo therapeutic
You know when you really wanna believe something till it hurts, but you just can’t? And it hurts because you know if you could just believe in it for one second you could feel better. Yeah. I’m crying now. </3
Hey, this is so old now but I think this is really what kept me going through some really hard times in my life. I’m back here now because I’m still doing terribly and stuff is so wack in my life rn,, it’s nice to be able to come back here.
Here I sit, in the last class I have to take before I can go home, clean the house, go to bed and be done with the day. I'm very done with this repetitiveness, nothing I can change but fuck I'm depressed. And honestly, I shouldn't be listening to this because in the long run it makes it worse, but I will play this on repeat all day long. Same thing I do everyday, new song.
people are taking the piss saying oh this is soooo difficult, saracstically, when really I’m sitting here trying to play the tune on that one A note and sing at the time and it IS actually really difficult believe me😂😂
Things are not so easy right now. You see I'm in love with my best friend and it's complicated af from there. And it's really hard for me, because he says he likes me but at the same time he doesn't want to be with me. And it's so hard. I know my story sucks compared to others, but this song rlly helps me. Puts me in this state of total calmness. thanks, doddleoddle
this song makes me cry and i can relate to this song so much i love you dodie and this song will forever have a special place in my heart 💛💛 every time i hear this song it makes me cry because i can relate to it so much and it makes me rethink my whole life 💛💛
This is late, but this song saved me from making a 17th suicide attempt. My whole life, I’ve been a lost cause with no purpose. I’ve been alone and I’ve cried myself to sleep everyday. I’m abused. But I want to keep on living.
I like how shes in the hall or closet or wherever the piano is cause it makes it seem like shes just too tired to bring it in her room, because thats me.
no, it's A, you can see the key that Dodie presses, if you are familiar with the layout of any piano/keyboard, you'll know that all C notes are before the two black notes, one left of C is B, and 1 left of B is A on every white notes. She's playing an A
The key she is playing is definitely an A, but the note she is playing is definitely a B. The irony of making us all feel a little mad as we read through the reply chain to this question. lol!
I needed this. It's a dumb reason about a stupid thing that wasn't explained to me and it made mad and sad at the same time. One lyric, 'there will be a day when you can say your okay and mean it' really hit me because while it may sting and hurt now, in a few days, weeks, months, it's not gonna matter. It does hurt now and I feel like s**t but it will be okay, and that's what matters.
Eve Reid You can be sure that the fact that you are here and that the song touched you means that there are a million people who love you in some special way. Take care, the world needs you.
This is my favourite Dodie song. I ran away from school when i was 9/10 and it was the biggest mistake of my life so far. My family don't know i have depression, I don't even know if i have it. I don't want to go to the doctor and them just saying i'm absolutely fine. It just seems embarrassing. I see this song as a letter to my younger self saying that i don't NEED to run away and it will only end in flames.
Within the first four lines I was crying. Sorry to overshare, I attempted suicide 7 months ago, and have since been in treatment, slowly getting better. I still struggle a lot, but now I have a couple days where I can actually feel genuinely happy to be alive and hopeful and simply think life is worth living, which is something I haven't felt in 6 years. I owe so much to this song and to Dodie. I pre-ordered the book and cannot wait! <3
you: "there are a hundred people who will listen to you cry/ and I get that they don't get it/ but they love you so much that you won't regret it" me: proceeds to cry a lot
My little niece was crying so bad an when I put on your song as my mom was rocking her, she stopped crying and almost fell asleep. Bless your comforting voice! 💖😊
hey does anyone know the time signature for this song? anytime I play it I end up getting faster so I'd like to be able to put a metronome at a constant speed
i just want to share a little story (this is the short version): so my friend has depression and she was going to commit suicide and before she did she texted me and told me. As i was being told this on my computer i was listening to doddleoddle's music and this came on I listened to this song and immediately texted her the link. After ten minutes she texted me back "thank you for sending me this song" and the reason why im commenting this is because this song stopped her from suicide. I just want to say thank you so much.
“There will be a day were you can say you’re okay and mean it.” I have never identified to a song lyric as much as I do to this one. It normally feels like “How are you?” Is basically a meaningless question and there are few people out there who are genuinely expecting an honest answer and want to know instead of trying to just be courteous and expecting the usual “I’m okay, thanks”
I'm thirteen and my dad has been constantly physically and mentally abusing me for the last five years. Stuff like punching, strangling and slapping but he denies all of it. Earlier this year I took a stand for myself and I called him out for it. The police got involved but they could find no evidence against him so he was never charged so now he is threatening to take me and my sister out of school. I have to see him in a week and after everything I honestly don't know if I will come out of his house alive. And of course my depression and depersonalisation are still around as they always are. Anyways, this song is amazing.
I know this is going to sound cheesy, and I'm sure you've heard it before, but it really does get better. Not all at once, usually, but little by little. One day you'll wake up and realize that your smile came just a little bit easier. And another day you'll realize it wasn't so hard to get out of bed that day. And sometimes you'll slip and fall backwards, but that's ok. Because someday you'll be sitting in your house, there will be money in your bank account, your favorite weather will be happening outside and someone you love will be making your favorite food, and you'll realize it was all worth it. Every tear, every scream every mean thought about yourself have built you up, made you stronger for the person you'll become. And you'll be amazing.
2 minutes before i was about to Commit suicide I have the gun in my hands but Listening to this Made me feel Like there Is Some hope out there Im lucky I found this song Im only 13 i shouldnt die yet right Even if i want to I shouldnt i Deserve Happiness just like the person reading this does You are AMAZING✨ You are WORTH THE WORLD!!!❤️💖💖💖✨ YOU DESERVE LOVE AND YOU ARE LOVED YOU MATTER AND I LOVE YOU stay strong for me okay Stay strong for the future you could have Even if i dont make it This year Know im proud of you Your beautiful Be it Female or Male You are Beatiful and deserve the world The guys reading this Dont listen to how Society tells you to be Be yourself Because you are gorgeous and Amazing in everyway 💖 Share your feelings with someone who you trust Its okay to be you The Girls reading this Listen to me Your Beatiful all of you are Amazing Girls Be it Any gender, Sexuality and beliefs You all matter and your all amazing dont Listen To Others And theyre opinions,its theyre opinions for a reason,Theyre Opinions dont matter All you need to do is Love yourself

Aneesha Varma Thanks so much! We need more people in the world like you and Dodie. I believe in you too. Never give up on your dreams and always stay strong :)

I LOVE YOU ALL K THIS COMMUNITY IS THE BEST THING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD
Wait WHAT I have watched this video a million times and I always thought there was a mirror! But there is LITERALLY a door standing open to the hallway. Wow. I liked the mirror ;_; hahaha
I have listened to this song three times before and this is the first time it has really sunk in. Im lying on my bed in tears, this hit my hard. Recently my depression and anxiety has taken a turn for the worst and can't seem to get out of this haze of darkness. Recently my best friend past away, at the age of 16 in a motorcycle accident. The feeling of regret just took over my body, thinking of all the mean comments I may have made or times I didn't help him when he needed me. I wish I could bring him back, but that is impossible. He's gone forever. I love you mac but you never knew.
Thank you for this Dodie. I've been going through a really rough patch recently with my bipolar and honestly can't see a way out but this song just really connected with me and made me realise that maybe this rough patch won't last forever even if it feels like it. Its hard as hell but I'll try my best to get out of this.
Okay so the best thing about this song is not listening to it for a while, forgetting the tune and then re listening to it, and it’s like hearing it for the first time again uwu
I've got a secret for the mad in a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad and I get that I don't get it but you will burn right now but then you won't regret it
you're not gonna believe a word I say what's the point in just drowning another day and I get that I don't get it but the world will show you that you won't regret it
little things, all the stereotypes they're gonna help you get through this one night and there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it
I promise you it'll all make sense again I promise you it'll all make sense again
there's nothing to do right now but try there are a hundred people who will listen to you cry and I get that they don't get it but they love you so much that you won't regret it
you're at the bottom, this is it just get through, you will be fixed and you think, that I don't get it but I burned my way through and I don't regret it
little things, all the stereotypes they're gonna help you get through this one night and there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it
I promise you it'll all make sense again I promise you it'll all make sense again I promise you it'll all make sense again I promise you it'll all make sense again
I don't believe in fate. This song came out and dinged my notification just as I lay down in my coat and boots after the most crushing doctors appointment I've ever had - they referred to my suicidal depression as a low mood. Again. And you made me cry, and I couldn't stop thinking of this song for the months I couldn't sing. And now I can say I'm ok, and I mean it. I don't believe in fate. No, not me.
right so let's talk. I was here for this upload, i got the notification. I sat, I listened, I cried. all fair and well. the last time i listened to this song was the night i tried to kill myself. Its been 9 months since, Im sitting in the same place i was that night, with the lights off in the same onesie. It hit me when i heard "And there will be a day that you can say you're okay and mean it." It's been nine months, I've hit a place im not fully recovered but i truly can say I am okay. I dunno am really emotional. thank you so much dodie.
i just found out i have to move to another state in a month. im going to leave all my friends and pretty much everyone i care about, and im supposed to come back next year but km so scared. im scared that my friends will make better friends, or that they'll replace me, or that they'll just split apart while im gone and i wont be able to do anything about it. and im scared that ill just be alone again. ive gone through this before and its so hard for me to make friends, and i finally got lucky and found people who care about me and who i care about. theu're my whole world. and now they might be gone. and i thought this year was going to be so good and my mental health was going to get so much betterand now i know it wont. god im so worried that nothing will be okay and i feel like im just going to end my life before the year ends. this song is giving me a little bit of hope. thank you.
I wish I could cry to this but I just can’t, what is happening to me? I feel like after having such a bad few days that now I can’t feel anything. I don’t know why I’m like this, if anyone can give me a bit of advice id love that
I don't have suicidal thoughts but just recently my brain has taken over me telling me that you're gonna die someday and nothing around you will mean anything in years to come. This really upsets me and I'm finding it so hard to get rid of them. I'm thinking of going to a doctor sometime soon but I'm not sure when but in the meantime, I am in desperate need of some help. I know this community is really lovely so I feel like I trust you and I can tell you this. Even writing this is making me cry. Please help. Thank you.
My dad is at the hospital after trying to commit suicide and this song hit me so hard. If he dies I'll sing this at his funeral. Then I'll just hope that he's somewhere up there and that he'll hear it. Not to tell him he should've kept trying but to say we understood and we were always there for him. He was never lonely but he must've felt so alone.
It might sound like some desperate call for attention, but I think it might be. All my life I've been focused on my studies but got to know little bits of what life really was all over my boring and totally monotonous ride over the years, I've met a girl I fell in love with, my dear J, i lost her due to my cowardice but still managed to make some other girl friends which helped me to get over my past love, but still never managed to know how it feels to be loved in the way a relationship does. Now I've lost contact with this other girls, and I'm a lonely boy crying in his bed, listening to the only voice that can make him feel better.
I can't believe that I've been getting the lyrics wrong for the last six months - the captions clearly state that it's "I've got a secret for the math, in a little bit of time in one house of bad" I'm so disappointed in myself.
This song means so much to me. My ex girlfriend and I broke up in July and although that seems like quite a lot of time ago now, I was so in love with her and moving on and letting her go was the hardest thing I’ve ever put myself through. I ruined our relationship, I was unwell and I needed to get help for my mental illness. It wasn’t fair to put her through the pain of looking after me when I was hurting her as a result. This song kept me going through every single difficult day for 6 months where I had to force myself out of bed to go to my lectures, go to training, go to counselling, do some work, be social and not spiral into a dark place I had been in before because I didn’t want to get so low again. I was down and Dodie helped me through. Her music spoke to me like no other artist has before. I can only thank you for this. I am in a much better place, it all makes sense again and I can’t wait for what the future will bring. I finally got to see you live on Friday evening and it was better than I had ever expected.
this song means so much to me. it's helped me get through a ton of moments and Dodie if you ever read this I just want to say that you have saved so many people, including me.
Every time I feel like I can't get through something, this song gives me the courage to try. And every time I fail and consider giving up, it gives me the strength to get back up and try again. I love you. Don't know where I would be without your beautiful, beautiful words.
I just talked to my mom about getting help for my (maybe) depression and I feel really amazing. I hope I can take care of myself better and feel genuinely good again! Thank you so much for all of your music dodie❤️
Whenever I'm falling into the depths of feeling really low, I put you singing 'I promise you, it'll all make sense again', but if I can't do that for whatever reason I tap the piano 'beat', which helps ground me. Thank you 💛💛💛💛💛
I think you're wonderful, I've had many issues regarding ma lil' brain recently but you and your lyrics and your voice and your videos really help and are a humongous comfort to me
since you made your video about depersonalisation and derealisation i've watched this video so many times while in varying states of unfeelingness to try and egg myself on with life. honestly dodie you're such a huge inspiration to me and i know you'll probably never see this but you're awesome ahh <3
Dodie... you've made me cry, but you've made me feel so happy and so gently understood, which is really rare with the disorders I have, which are rare too ;) <3 Love Love LOVE for you, and your beautiful personality, face and voice <3 - Chloe
i've re-fallen in love with dodie thanks to a friend and i've been going through all the videos i've missed and i really needed this right now. thank you
Ugh I keep coming back to this. My friend and I both have struggled with really bad anxiety disorders, mine Generalized and hers panic disorder, but my therapy process ended up moving a lot faster and I'm coping a lot better than she has been, and I still see her in the pits I was in with her just a year or so ago. This is probably my favorite Dodie song, lyrics AND melody.
As someone who relates to this song so much, especially the part where it says "There will be a day when you can say your okay and mean it" this is so much. Good. Great. Wonderful. And for some, life-saving. Thank you.
I listened to this casually when it was first released and I liked it, but it wasn't until today that I actually listened to the lyrics. I've been on both sides and this is so important for people to hear. Beautiful.
I had a really hard time last night sleeping because anxiety and being sick and somehow I woke up with this stuck in my head. It helped a lot. Thank you dodie <3
I LOVE the "I promise you part" agH CHILLS. It's pure magic.

This one is WONDERFUL I appreciate what you do so much. It's amazing you have the confidence to put all this out here and I hope you never loose that confidence. It's truly beautiful. You are so goddamn amazing it's hard to fathom like you are literally so wonderful you're the best. Oh my god you are so great youre wonderful I hope you love everything about yourself
I was having a really bad time last night so my comping mechanism was to just listen to this over and over and cry for about 3 hours. Although seemingly unconventional, it really worked and holy crap I felt better. Anyways, thank you. ❤
Currently in my science class listening to this over and over and over. I've been going through hell recently and I swear this song is one of the only things that actually helps. I'm honestly trying to stay alive right now. I think I might get some the lyrics tattooed on me when I'm older, but we'll see I guess.
this song made me cry just now. a few months ago this song made me realize how much I never meant it when I said I was okay. Now I am at the point where I can say I'm okay and mean it.
"I'm a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad" and it doesn't hurt that much anymore, I only feel sad sometimes now and I'm proud to say that I'm okay
Dodie, I've never cried to a song before. You have no idea how much this song means to me at this very moment. I've never heard it before, but I'm crying. Thank you so much.
What I love about this is that the line "I promise you it'll all make sense again" shows that there's no line of mentally ill and not. It depends on the person and it doesn't make sense in THEIR life.
please please please I need this on spotify to play over and over. please next time you record something that you'll put on spotify, please this one, please.
I actually want to cry because i dont want to talk about how i feel to my friends because i dont wanna smother them and it doesnt really help me but music does in the best way ever so thank you dodie for this im just happy but sad and aarrrgghhh i hope that if anyone else feels this way they can find a way to feel better that doesnt harm anyone thank you for reading whoever you are
If I get the balls to get a tattoo I want to get a tattoo of the lyric "I burned my way through and I don't regret it." That lyric means the world to me. My head is always somewhere different, I never know what's going on. So many emotions, so many thoughts. This song just helps me to carve out my brain, it helps me figure out myself. It just so simplistic and light but once you keep going it gets deeper and more intense. Like a brain. Thank you, dodie. <3
I told one of my best friends about my anxiety and depression. About a month later I get a text from him saying he's done with me, saying that my depression was bs and my anxiety was fake.
Copied the lyrics, and put them over my favorite picture I took of my sister and the sunset, and put that as my iPhone wallpaper. I read it every day, and look at my sister. Keeps me going (:
This has just reduced me to a sobbing mess- am I hormonal? Possibly. Every single line is just exactly what I need to hear. My stupid problems aren't even that bad
I've got a secret for the mad In a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad And I get that I don't get it But you will burn right now but then you won't regret it
You're not gonna believe a word I say What's the point in just drowning another day And I get that I don't get it But the world will show you that you won't regret it
Little things, all the stereotypes They're gonna help you get through this one night And there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it
I promise you it'll all make sense again I promise you it'll all make sense again
There's nothing to do right now but try There are a hundred people who will listen to you cry And I get that they don't get it But they love you so much that you won't regret it
You're at the bottom, this is it Just get through, you will be fixed And you think, that I don't get it But I burned my way through and I don't regret it
Little things, all the stereotypes They're gonna help you get through this one night And there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it
I promise you it'll all make sense again I promise you it'll all make sense again I promise you it'll all make sense again I promise you it'll all make sense again
Can I just say that this comment section is why I love the YouTube community? The youtubers we watch know they can't help us all individually but then we comment our stories and then we reply to each other. We help each other. YouTube has become a family. I've connected with people I never would have without YouTube and I just wish I could thank everyone in the community along with the Youtubers who created all these fandoms
This afternoon is incredibly blue. I'm sulking with tears over trifles. Dodie says it'll make sense again, as to why days are bluer than what they once were. I'm waiting with diminished patience, but whenever I get this way she helps every single time.
Im crying.. and I dont regret it.. what a beautifull voice! What an amazing song! And thank you for this Dodie... I hope one day it'll all make sense again for me too.. thanks again.
I need to vent/need advice and i feel like this video is a good place to do it because its so perfect VENT BELOW SORRY...... I recently moved schools from an all girls day school to a mixed boarding school (still only a day pupil and go home at night). At my old school I had quite a few friends and no one hated me for who I was. I would happily talk about YouTube and Harry Potter in front of my whole year. Now I've moved schools and I hate it. We're all in houses (like hogwarts- we eat together, spend our free time there and our friends are supposedly in the house) and I'm in the only Day pupil house. At first i had quite a few friends and we all ate together and did normal friend stuff but then they found out I like YouTube and tumblr etc. Ever since they've been ignoring me and it's hell this was about a month ago. We're not allowed to sit with other houses at lunch and since my friends are ignoring me and the only other girls in the house are popular girls or a group who are nice enough but make it quite clear they don't want me there I either skip lunch or have 'early lunch' (go in early for a club and sit where ever). I feel so disjointed from the rest of my house. On top of this I'm moving into a new house next year because the one I'm in at the moment is too big and I'm going with these girls. My only other friends are in a boarding house, they're really nice and don't judge me. I've begged my parents to go into boarding so I can be with my friends but they won't let me because it's £4000 more a term. On top of this I feel like my parents hate me. They say I'm so difficult and they even bought a book to help with difficult daughters. They keep comparing me to my sisters who are much older than me as well. We fight on a daily basis and they hug me/show affection to me once a year max. Last time they hugged me was April 11thish when I had a chest infection and the time before that was on my birthday (6th April) the year before when I spent the whole day in my room crying because my grandma had been burgled and everyone seemed to forget about me. I don't know where I'm heading in life and I spend most evenings locked in my room crying. I know how fucking privileged I am trust me but I just want friends and parents who love me and actually show it. I dont know what to do because my parents don't know I have no friends and the reason I want to board is that all my friends are boarders. If you've read all of this thank you, I'm sorry for wasting your time but I'm desperate.
rev·er·ie ˈrev(ə)rē/ noun a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream. "With one note, Dodie's music put her in an enchanting state of reverie" synonyms: daydream, daydreaming, trance, musing
i'm cutting ties with someone i loved a lot for a long time and i saw them tonight, from a distance but it was enough to make me freak out and become really sad. This song combined with your video on how to cut ties with someone couldn't have been. ore perfectly timed. Thank you xxx
This song really helps me with my depression or even if I've just had a bad day or if I really need to calm down. I'm so happy that I found you Dodie! I love you
your music is like a diary for my brain to relax from thinking and actually formulate my thoughts into lyrics and beautiful music and i just love it so much
This is so comforting to me. And the message is so true. I'm currently recovering from bipolar depression and sometimes I need this push!!! Thank you dodie ❤️
Earlier today I listened to this song and I felt so happy. Now when there are tears streaming down my face and I just put on this song the feeling came flooding back to me from before and it's the best thing. Your insides are screaming, your body tenses up and your face is forces into a smile. It's like you're squealing but no noise is coming out. The reaction is excited but the feeling is pure happiness.
I don't know why I hadn't listened to this song before. It's honestly the best one you've written nd the best i've heard in a while, dodie. I'm in tears. I'm so fucking proud of you. it deserves to be all over the radio.
Honestly I can really relate to this song. A large amount of my friends and even my own mother suffered from mental issues, some even having it get the better of them. The first time I heard this song, I couldn't make it past one minute because it hurt me so much. Thank you for making this song Dodie, it means a lot. You are truly an amazing and talented human being.
This song makes me so very happy. I just relate to it so much. Also, the bit where you say "I burned my way through, and I don't regret it." makes me so happy, and proud. Keep going Dodes.
Always come back to this video when I'm feeling sad and doubting if I'll feel okay again, thank you do much Dodie for all your amazing songs, makes me feel less alone💕
Holy shit... I'm in love with your voice, your energy, and your style. I love the lyrics. Just FYI - Supreme Banana plugged both of your pages and I'm SO glad.
This song means so much, I don't even know how to begin to thank you for writing and sharing this with the world. I'm currently suffering from depression and this literally saved my life more than once. Thank you so much x
Dodie... I just wanted to tell you that I truly love and respect your authenticity. <3 I am striving to be vulnerable and honest with the people I care about, so this has seriously just rocked my world.
This made me feel stuff the first time I heard it when it was uploaded. I didn't properly relate Months later, every single word hits me and relates to me and my sick brain <3 thank you for being my therapy xx
Love it. I just bumped into 'sick of losing soulmates' about a week ago and I really can't comprehend how I could have never seen your vlogs and songs. You're an amazing person Dodie and your songs are beyond beautiful.
"There are a hundred people who will listen to you cry" is the most comforting lyric I have ever heard. You've composed perfect words for this song, it is absolutely my favourite ❤ thank you.
"i promise you it'll all make sense again" is exactly what I needed to hear. I don't even care if it's true or not, I just needed to hear it so thank you <3
i love this so much because even though it's just the one note you could actually harmonise it in so many ways because the melody is super interesting and the vocal harmonies are just lush woah how great it's stuff like this that makes dodie stand out because she actually has an understanding of music and i just woah still a lil gobsmacked
Thank you for this heartfelt song Dodie... I needed to hear those words. You are one of the only people that I know who trully understands what it is to live with a mental illness, this did help me get through this one night... I simply hope that you continue to right amazing songs, I think that it is not just me who needs your songs to heal. Thank you Dodie for saving me, because of you, I am not drowning anymore. ❤️
I suddenly started crying at the last few "I will promise you, it will all make sense again." Because it kicked it and one sentence was all I needed to hear
This reminds me of a memory form about 2 years , when I was on a summer camp with a group of young quakers (religious people). I had just finished year 11 and my GCSEs which was like the lowest point in my life. We had a group worship in the evening, which was initially silent, but anyone could speak. I think I said something along the lines of "year 11 has been difficult for me . I've found it so difficult to keep up with work and friendships, and I've spent a long time thinking 'IM NOT GOOD ENOUGH' . And being here , amongst people who I know care about me has made me feel whole in a way I haven't for so long. Because I don't have to achieve, or be anything. I can be... me... and that's enough"And I think by the end of this my voice kind of cracked, so the guy next to me put his arm around me and I sobbed into his shoulder. After the worship had finished ,(by which point I had completely just broken down uncontrollably) he hugged me and said "it's alright, you're going to be ok" repeatedly. And this song made me think of that, the gentle reminder that things will be ok eventually.
There's going to be a talent show at my school and I'm debating singing this for it, but I legitimately don't even know the note she's playing and I wouldn't know even if you told me.
I played this song to my dad and he is very very musical, if I had to put it it in a word (he can really connect with music and lyrics which I had taken from him.) and he LOVED IT. Because i connected to the lyrics so much, I feel like I had to show him as it is such and inspiration along with when which he also LOVED. I was so happy that he liked my favorite Artist!!! Dodie, you have the approval of my dad. You should be very proud, you beautiful bean XD <3 U
This is the first time I've listened to this song fully. When it was first uploaded I stopped watching. Idk why, I guess it was because I wasn't in the mood for something really deep to listen to. I wasn't really in the mood to analyse the lyrics. I kinda forgot about it after that. But today I came back, I listened to it once, just listened. I thought it was alright, (I'm not very good at taking in lyrics just by listening to them). However, then I read the lyrics as well as listening, and my goodness. I regret not coming back to this sooner. Within reading/listening to the first two lines I burst into tears. This is magnificent Dodie and I can most defiantly relate to this song. Xxx :)
dodie I don't know if you read comments from not recent videos but I want you to know that you seemed to upload this at the perfect time. After this was uploaded was right after one of my best friends passed away and I went through a hard time but this helped me and I listened to this almost every day because it kept me going but I started feeling better so I didn't listen as much. then just recently, my grandfather grandfather passed away and I immediately went right back to this song and I just hope you know that this means more to me than you could ever imagine
Every now and then all I used to ever want was someone to come to my room at night stroke my hair and whisper "I promise everything will be okay" or "stay strong" or "anything can happen if you put your mind to it, you can get through this." Until of course these words were overused and lost all meaning, so much that i would fill myself with useless anger just hearing them. I'd get angry at people trying to help me. People who loved me. How heartless of me, what was I doing? I get that they don't get it. They will never get it but that doesn't mean they can't help me. These little things can help me get through a night just as this song has for me. Every now and then I still need someone to sing me a lullaby and promise everything will be okay, but I won't admit it. I can't express how much this song means to me without sounding cliche, however I believe all cliches once had meaning and still can if you let them. If you trust them. Here's my cliche for you: your music helps me through and I'm so grateful for that.
you probably won't see this since it is 3 months after you uploaded this, but where did you get your sweater? it's so cute! also, im in love with this song!
ok i listened to this once it was uploaded but i have a playlist of dodie's original songs and i put it on replay everyday. what i was gonna say is that B to the dodie fandom is what that first note in Welcome To The Black Parade is to the Killjoys
Hi Dodie, Stop being so perfect please, it simply makes me sad because I will never meet you because something tells me you'll never ever come to Minnesota. But in case you do I will cry and buy tickets and scream to all of your songs. No point to this message. But I've got a secret for the mad as well, you're beautiful and perfect.
EDIT: i came back to this as i listened to the song again and made it a bit more concise.
trigger warning
i'm not going to be modest in this because modesty just makes people sound nice, and i don't care to sound nice.
half the other kids at school are jealous of me because i'm virtually the smartest person in the year. i don't like my school as it is because of how everyone thinks i hate them just because if i go out twice in a week i'm irritable for the next month. or at least more irritable than usual. i don't want to be like this. i wish i was a social butterfly. i want to be the popular girl and not because i want boys to like me or girls to or for people to be jealous. i wish those things to mattered to me.
i wish i was stupid.
i'm fucking fourteen and every other day is an existential crisis coupled with contemplating suicide and no one fucking gets it because i'm fourteen and all they think of my intelligence is that i get really good CAT results and that i have a huge vocabulary. nobody ever thinks about the fact that i'm smart enough to know more about philosophy than the average university student without ever reading about it. heard of existentialism? philisophical theory that everything is pointless. i managed to think up the entire theory without ever hearing of it. and the theory of determinism (kind of like fate but it's not just the ending that's set in stone.) which only makes existentialism worse. you can't change anything. life's a fucking mess and you can't do shit about it. it's pointless.
but i still don't kill myself.
why? the simple answer would be i'm an extremely emotional person, so when i try to my emotions overpower the logical side of me that tells me to kill myself. or it's because i'm a wimp.
i don't really have close friends i talk about this stuff with. i have "best friends" at school but they're just idiots that think they know about the world and think they fucking get it. they don't. i know that they would want to help me but they don't understand and i'm kind of glad because it's so painful to get it. and i don't want them to experience that kind of pain, no matter how much pain their lack of understanding may cause me.
i wish i was stupid. i wish i didn't get this song. but wishes don't come true when all you do it wish.
so i listen to this when my classmates peer pressure me into going to a "small" party and when i have lows for no reason. because that's when i want to die. and i know i won't kill myself. even if i don't listen to this song. but hey, this song makes me cry. and sometimes that helps.
Katie SJG I get that it seems that nobody gets you but I am almost the exact same: I'm 14, I'm in eighth grade. I'm the smartest in my class (I'm not a genius just extremely smart) being smart is more difficult than others think. I have a huge vocabulary and stunning grades but sometimes I wonder if it would be better being a (excuse my word choice) dullard. I always have 100 things on my mind at once and nobody gets it, they don't get that sometimes people saying "omg she doesn't count" (when they talk about what the average person knows) it hurts me, I want to be one of them but I can't. I don't know the purpose of life; I'm not suicidal but I'm completely apathetic when I comes to whether I live or die. I feel the pressure to achieve great things bear down on me and I just don't feel like waking up, I don't feel like doing anything. What's the point, we all live small lives in a big universe that doesn't care about you or how you feel. No one hears your cries for help because it's come to the point where in order not to be pushed away and called a freak, I push others away. I can't tell anyone face to face how I feel, how I don't know how long I can last until I exhaust myself. Sometimes, though, I find someone I can relate to; your story caught my eye because for the first time in a while I thought, this is someone who gets me.
Don't worry though because just when I think, I have no purpose, no use, other than to be one grain of sand on an endless beach in the middle of nowhere, I find someone, a friend, who will listen and tell their experiences and for a moment everything is okay. We all have worth, maybe someday you will be that friend who reassures, the shoulder to cry on right as the other person needs it and, if we keep supporting each other, our lives (all of our lives) will have purpose. I'm sorry, I wrote all of this but your predicament touched me.
dogs forever thank you. just- thank you. recently loads of drama happened (and by that i mean a few people got angry in a group chat) at my school. someone was attacking (verbally) someone else, so i stepped in. so they started attacking me. then the person i was defending started attacking me too. then a random bystander decided to attack me as well. and they all insulted me by saying things like "you think you're so smart" and "you're always in class like 'oh i don't know if this is correct but-' bullshit" (i ask a lot of questions in class, often because i already know a bit about things that are mentioned so i seek clarification if that makes sense). so that really got me down recently, and to top it off when got home from a sleepover (the drama happened just before i left for the sleepover) at my only friend's house (she's in another school) my parents started fighting, and it's my fault. then for the rest of the day i just felt empty inside, what i imagine depression feels like. that was yesterday, so this message really helped. i'm probably going to read your reply whenever i listen to this song, because i find it hard to empathise with myself but hearing that someone else is going through the same things makes me want to help you, which makes me want to help me. thanks. also, i really don't mind the long reply. i'm pretty sure this reply is as long as yours anyway xD
Katie SJG Couldn't have put it better💘 stay strong. I understand completely, but after school finishes people will be more intelligent and you just have to hold on x
Katie SJG I know exactly what you're talking about. I wish I was stupid. I know so much, I can see everything so clearly, and I think about everything and what it means to be everything and if nothing even exists because there's always been something, and no one gets it, because they don't like to think about it, because it scares them. people are stupid for their own sake. people act stupid because they can't bare to be anything else.
Hey. I'm smart like you. Seriously. I realised everything was kinda pointless when I was like 10 or 11 maybe. I try to create my own philosophical arguments against the existence of God in my spare time. So far I haven't made a foolproof one because there are some people out there who always have answers to God questions. These answers jump way too much to be realistic, but I kind of have to respect their views if I want them to respect mine. But, do you know what philosophy means? Course you do. Love of learning....well it could just mean 'love, wisdom' which means if you're a philosopher you want to know what things actually mean and how they come about so you want to know about love and why it exists and what the meaning of life is but I guess you knew that already too, but just for the sappy asf comment lets use the first one. Love of learning. Sure you're not a social butterfly. Sure you're not popular but you wish you were just so that you could actually care about the things other people do. Sure you wish you were stupid so that you didn't realise the pointlessness of each day, and sure you're sick of getting out of bed and reliving the same thing over and over every single damn day because all of it is pointless and boring and nothing actually means anything. I have 2 answers for you that I hope help. 1: Philosophy. Love of lnearning. Now I dunno if you ACTUALLY like learning but you're sure good at it but maybe aim for something different. Philosophy. Go do it at University. I don't know how much you'll ACTUALLY learn because, hey, it's all theories and we could just be lab rats in a world so advanced they create pocket universes for medical testing and every big epidemic is just them testing a bad medication on us. But you'd sure as hell be good at it and probably enjoy it, even if it does just fuel your enthusiasm for the world to be pointless. You'd be able to create, if you haven't already, your own foolproof theory for this and then get it published and then be respected and be surrounded by people of you own intelligence. When you say you know more about philosophy than the average university student, I'm not so sure. Why? Because there are a LOT of people out there, just like you. Maybe not as many as there are like your friends, but there are a lot. Trust me I go to a school for clever people and it is HAAARRDDDD. But a lot of those super clever people go to University. And if you want to do philosophy you have to be REALLY frickin clever, so I don't know if you actually DO know more about philosophy than the average university student, I mean it depends what they're studying too. Guess you can only go and find out right? Point 2 is that if the world is pointless and life is a mess and you can't actually do a damn about it why not live life to the fullest in this pointless existence because that's all you can do. Enjoy it while you're here and while your fleeting, miniature, pointless life lasts. Because in the grand scheme of, things, as you know, everything is meaningless. So...why not try to enjoy your life? Bloody hell that's what most of the successful clever people try to do. Live a long and enjoyed life. I mean I know it's hard but some super clever people actually manage it, even with existentialism bearing down on their shoulders.
Milsterino i'm thinking of doing philosophy at university, but i don't know what sort of career i could make out of it. i should probably research it. by my statement "i know more about philosophy than the average university student" i meant that when i was 12 i thought up the theory of hard determinism, as well as existentialism. i only found out when i was 13 that these theories already existed. my phrasing wasn't great, but i was just exaggerating the fact i was able to think up two complex philosophical theories without any assistance or contribution from others (whenever i tried to talk to anyone about it they'd just say "oh but there is a point. to be happy" or "but i feel like i have free will, so i must have it" or some other shit). hope this made sense
Katie SJG I was going to respond to this with more of a story, either about me "relating" to this or my kinda friend being in the same situation (which makes no sense because how would I know) but I just can't find the right words for it, all I can say is keep on thinking and try to be happy I guess
I know this was all like a week ago, but I sympathize with your plight. I'm going to be a junior and I'm still one of the smartest people. it'll always be kind of lonely to be really smart, and (Lord knows it is for me) but I just take comfort in knowing that the work I do is good and I'll find people like me eventually. 💜
I am actually in an extremely similar position to you (just the age difference) and before I read your comment I couldn't figure out why I feel that way and now I understand. I am the smartest in most of my classes and have so much going on (my music, a sort of social life, a small business I would like to start) but none of my friends get it. I end up talking about all these things I've heard or read about and they just brush it off and talk about something else. It also doesn't help that none of them like my style or music and that some sometimes try to change that. I just end up thinking: 'should I listen and be more like them?'. I end up pushing that thought to one side because I do like the way I am but no one gets how much that hurts. But then, they do say 'ignorance is bliss'. Anyway, whatever position you're in now, I really hope that you push yourself to be as good as possible because it would be brilliant. And might I suggest taking up a hobby that you have to work hard to get good at? Such as music? Do something you haven't done before so that you're not the smartest in the class, if it helps that is. But please don't even think about suicide, you have a gift, use it wisely. (I know this sounds a little cheesy but oh well!)
Katie SJG this comment thread is all like the smart depressed ppl bonding and i'm just hear like i want to relate to the smart part but my grades are shitly average, but i do know the existential crisis extremely well so there is that... also this song is beautiful guys you all sound so smart and special and i love u all we should make a gc
guys what about me i wanna bond im kinda smart..... i mean not in terms of math or science but i get As in music theory and music history and BOIIII that shit is not easy
i wanna be part of this thing yall have i feel left out as fuck
Katie SJG Katie, I know what you mean. I'm 11, (6th grade) the smartest person in my grade, I don't really have friends, and people don't get me. But, you shouldn't wish to be ordinary. You being unique makes you a wonderful person. As it gets hard, always remember that as long as YOU love yourself as you are, and accept you for who you are, you can do anything. Always stay strong. ❤️
Katie SJG relatable. Declared "intellectually gifted" at eight years old. Everyone thinks things are so easy for people like us because things come naturally, but in reality, we do more worrying about grades than average people because we are held to such a high standard. I'm generally happy because I immerse myself in so many things and i have been pushing away my philosophical brain for many years. I find that it's much easier (though ever so slightly unsatisfactory) to push those thoughts away rather than to allow myself to be consumed by them. Because I learned to do this I am much happier because I feel a little less freakish and a little more like everyone else. I've recently gotten out of a relationship (with a regular person, quite an interesting experience) so I've had lots of time to realize that I'm kind of stuck in the "smart" box too. I love makeup and clothes, and when popular people dress up, it normal, but if I dress up, I'm "trying too hard". I think every smart person has these problems, we feel like the weight of the whole world plus the weight of our own little worlds are on our shoulders, but it especially helps me to know that in adulthood, people do everything they can to try to stand out instead of blend in. I've kind of decided that I don't care what other people say this year and i know I will be better off in adulthood financially for my endless dedication to grades than the popular girls who only care about boys and brands 👀
Very interesting. This is apparently much more common than I thought. I assure you, the universe is better off without anyone killing themselves. Thank you for staying strong, good luck keeping it up!
Katie SJG I've wanted to put how i feel into words, but this seems like exactly how I feel. I'm "the weird smart girl" and I wish I could just blend in better with everyone else. I feel like an adult in a child's body. I hear everyone complaining about stupid shit, and I know in the long run, none of it matters. I hope everything is going good for you, though. I know it's wrong to be glad that someone else is going through the same stuff I am, but it feels good to relate.
thoughts of aesthetic dw about feeling excluded i was the one who started this thread and now i feel like a fraud. i guess bc there are so many replies and people identifying with this i'm like "uM I'M NOT THAT RELATABLE ABORT ABORT NOT ME NOPE" and even as i was typing this reply i was like "am i gonna sound like someone who isn't smart???" which i don't usually mind but now i'm like "so mANY PEOPLE THINK I'M LIKE THIS FANCY INTELLECTUAL BUT I JUST LOOK AT MEMES MOST THE DAY" but in reality compared to most i AM a fancy intellectual which blows my fuckin' mind since i'm meme trash most the time. that paragraph just went on a massive tangent, but anyway, musical intelligence is just as valuable as conventional intelligence, if not more. also i rEALLY WANT TO MAKE A GROUP CHAT TOO but idk if we should use twitter, sc, tumblr or what
Katie SJG, I'm the smartest girl in my class, and people don't seem to understand how intelligence is a curse. I have everything I could possibly want. I have a few great friends, outstanding grades, a perfect family, and all the teachers love me. With all this, I still feel alone and afraid, because I can understand the universe better than some adults. But my emotions overpower it all, and keep me human. It's better to be emotional than cursed with more knowledge than you can handle. I understand you.
holy shit.. someone has voiced how I feel. I agree with most of what you said tbh- and sometimes I wish I were dumb or stupid but then I realize that if I were the same as everyone else I'd be extremely bored. I'm bored enough as it is, I don't need any other reason. everything else is spot on though
Katie SJG Yeah, I used to be in your position kind of. I didn't wish to be stupid (what use would that be, I'll value the hard truth over the easy ignorance any fucking day) and I never thought of myself as the smartest person in the class, but I'm pretty philosophical and I used to be plagued by existentialism on a daily basis just like you. Naturally I ended up thinking about it a lot, and I figured out: you know what? It's true. Everything is pointless. One day we'll die, most of us won't leave a lasting legacy and disappear almost immediately, those of us who do will only take a little longer to be forgotten before the sun explodes and the entire human race perishes without a trace. But that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because life doesn't need a point to it. The meaning of life is literally to fill what I believe is our one existence with as much happiness as possible. Have the best fucking time you can! Make the very most of the finite time you have; try to enjoy every single day, even if everything is going wrong. Make sure that when you're old and thinking back on how you spent your life you smile.
I wish I couldn't relate to y'all but I can and it makes me so sad to know that you feel the same way about the world. My teachers tell me constantly that I could succeed in nearly every carrier that I want, my classmates exclude me when talking about problems in school or their fear of failing a test because "oh, shut up, you don't know what we mean". I was told I was "gifted" in first grade because I read books with 500+ pages but aged 11 my grades were just average because I developed depression and anorexia due to my perfectionism. In grade 9 I was sent to a hospital because I nearly died but hey, at least my grades were better. Since first grade and to this day (in now 12th grade) I miss class regularly because I'm sick or can't cope with the world and still I'm on top of every class (except sports). And I hated myself for it a really long time but just now I'm okay with it. Sure, I annoy people and myself with my knowledge and I'm sad because I understand the pointlessness of life but I could accomplish some things others could not and make my life a bit more meaningful, you know?
(Sorry, if there are mistakes in grammar, English isn't my first language..)
Lizibeth 3 I'm not arrogant at all, in fact I have crippling self esteem issues and hate myself very much. the reason I unapologetically say how intelligent I am is because I know that intelligence is something you're born with, and doesn't make you better than anyone else.
Not Important oi oi chill out she never said she was better than them she was just expressing how she felt. i'm katie's friend and she's much smarter than me and i know she's not malicious in any way she's kind and compassionate and intelligent. katie is great we love katie don't be mean to my katie i love her
EDIT: i'm going to assume that you've realised you're wrong but are too embarrassed to admit that, hence you deleting your comment. while i'm not overjoyed by the fact you couldn't simply admit you were wrong, i'm glad you didn't continue to argue your point purely to avoid embarrassment (even though that would've actually made you seem more foolish, but the human mind is weird) anyway, i'm leaving a copy of your comment here simply for context to avoid confusion for anyone reading this thread in the future: (quick note: this is an exact copy from the email notification i received when you replied. any typos are part of the original.)
Katie SJG I think you need to take a long hard look at yourself and the way that you think of other people. I, like you, am considered intelligent for my age and I find that philosophical thinking comes easy to me. That being said I disagree completely with your comment; how can you say that they don't get it just because they think differently than you? You are not better than your classmates because they don't have an interest in philosophy. If you were as smart as you claim to be you would understand intelligence (although it is very useful) is no where near as important kindness and compassion. A truly intelligent person would be kind and loving despite their knowledge of how meaningless life is in the grand scheme of things because they know that we are all in the same boat. Do you wish to spent your life as a recluse who thinks they are above everyone else or do you want to make a difference to others lives and enjoy the short time you have to alive.
the way i think of other people is not in a pitying way, nor disgust, nor any other emotion that would imply i think of others (or people of low/average intelligence, it was unclear in your comment) as inferior to me in any way or form. the fact you assumed that says a lot more about you than it does me (this isn't meant as an insult, but i'm not the best with words at times). Ii'm not really sure what else i can say in response to your comment. you speak to me as if i'm some snobby intellectual but the only thing you know about me is one of my innermost struggles which, lacking context, aren't as telling as people make them out to be. if you saw me at school you'd either think i'm a weirdo, memelord or nerd. not a snob or bully. i acknowledge that existence is pointless, yes, but i don't use that as an excuse to make other peoples existence less bearable just so it matches my own. (p.s sorry if i came across as rude in any way. whenever i use big words people seem to think i'm trying to insult them or start an argument, but that's the last thing i want to do. this has been a supportive thread so far and i really want to keep it that way, and by the sounds of it so do you, now that you hopefully understand it more)
+Lizibeth 3 you're comment is quite on-the-nose, so i'll compose mine in a likewise way. you contradicted yourself. you literally stated that if i had above average intelligence i'd know i didn't have above average intelligence. nevertheless, i acknowledge that this could be some commentary on how there are types of intelligence besides logic-based intellect. (explanation: to my knowledge it's generally accepted that when you consider all the types of intelligence we all wind up average, so your comment would make sense as the first part would be referring to logic-based intelligence whereas the second part would be referring to overall intelligence.)
however. judging by the context given by your second sentence, i don't think that's the case. but, if it is, then you may want to rethink your lack of explanation, as many people (including myself) would interpret that as you getting off on the fact that nobody understands the deeper meaning behind your comment, making you feel of superior intellect. (oh look we've come full circle)
and, regarding your second sentence, if you must declare a trait you assume i possess is unattractive purely to insult, i feel obliged to inform you that i don't care what you think is attractive.
apologies to everyone for the double comment, but i didn't want to address the aggressive and rude comments in the same reply as the comments i simply disagree with. also, to avoid confusion, i'm going to quote the comments before my response (also in the case the same thing happens as with Not Important, which i doubt it will, but nevertheless)
+BMO "thoughts of aesthetic dude, it isn't funny that these many people relate to wanting to kill themselves, have a little respect" she was just making a joke directed at me, we're friends so i know for a fact she wasn't trying to say "oh hey look people want to die haha" (although replace "people" with "i" and that is a joke i would make) she was just finding it funny one of her friends got that many replies. she was also probably trying to make such a heavy, serious thread a tad more light hearted. still, i can definitely see your point of view. my point is, the joke was more about how i was relatable, not the specific thing everyone was relating to.
+Poppyleaf "Katie SJG dont wish to be stupid, so many people wish they were smart. school gets to them and they become sucidal" i may have chosen the wrong words- i wish i was of average intelligence, or less. i don't want school to be overwhelmingly difficult for me but i would like some kind of unavoidable level of difficulty as this would prevent me from thinking of existentialism constantly. the main thing is, even if i became suicidal, if i wasn't this smart i could easily convince myself there was a point. to be happy or make other people happy or whatever. but i know that that can't be the point, as we're only happy in certain moments because in a natural context those happiness triggers would be advantageous for survival. and the point of survival seems to be to carry on dna, but i don't know if i want kids, so does that make me pointless from an evolutionary standpoint? probably not, food gathering etc. but still, i don't see a point. and if i saw a point, that could easily stop me from going too far. this comment was kind of a mess, but i'm too tired to fix it. i may come back later and make it clearer or more concise if it makes no sense as it is.
i dunno if this will come off as hate (it's not but i relate to you and i'm trying to be harsh so you don't make mistakes i did) but just know that you don't know anything about the world. at all. like you don't know jack shit. (i'm not saying i do but i have a few years on you) and i'm not trying to insult you!!!!! i'm not trying to say you're dumb!!!! i just mean that in a few years-you'll get it. everyone will be on the same level, and you along with everyone else will realize you're not special. intelligence will soon become pretty much irrelevant. nobody will know unless you go into a field of work that requires extreme intelligence. and even then nobody will know too much unless you tell them you're super smart. you will find people who understand. the world is a shitty place in middle school/high school. but you'll graduate and see the whole big world at your fingertips-and then you'll be okay. i know you'll be okay. everything will be okay. please stay safe. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
BMO chill i was just laughing that her comment blew up and now she's faymus O_o nobody should want to kill themself and i've had experiences myself with mental issues. i was simply pointing out to my friend that she had gotten so many replies. don't know how that came off offensive as the comment was directed AT katie.
+Maddie Marigold don't worry, you didn't come across as rude or anything. i've heard that once you get older it all sort of...gets better, i guess. and, yea, i know i know nothing about the world. it's kind of impossible to know much about it, if that makes any sense, i had a revelation literally today that's relieved a lot of my anxiety so i'm a lot more optimistic now
+Caitlin C i'M tRiGgErEd i understand why you'd think that's a good idea, but... once, when i was at a party (the only one i attended all year), i was sort of high off of all the hyper-ness of everyone there and i felt all nostalgic because they had a swing in their back garden and we were all singing super loud and swinging way too high, and i opened up. by that point most people had gone inside since it was cold, and it was just me and my best friend. i talked about how i'm constantly struggling with existentialism, and i think i talked about how nobody really cares or understands. she's the second top in my english class (i'm top) so she's pretty smart, and okay with philosophy. after i finished rambling, i looked at her. i'd mostly been looking at the sky while i was talking, and when i saw her face i knew i shouldn't have opened up. she looked slightly confused and pretty...judgemental. she just said "i'm gonna head back inside now" and left me alone with my thoughts. we didn't talk for the rest of the year.
you might be right. maybe i should open up, but i can't. not after that experience. had i not been high off of the mass socialisation, i probably wouldn't have made that mistake. which is only going to further me into a shell. fun. i'll try, but i find it so hard to trust people. honestly, this comment is probably the closest i'm ever going to get.
Katie SJG I get it. I had that realization at around 12. I'm 17 now, as of a week ago. I recently had a panic attack so bad that I had to throw up with the thoughts that keep circling my head. I wish I could tell you that I got better or that people get better, but I don't know if they have. I was raised Catholic even, so you would think that death would be a picnic for me. I wish I felt like I could kill myself, that the derealization and exitential crisis that I try to put off with anxiety meds would go away and I would be stupid, and then I could imagine feeling different, but it isn't down to a religion. Honestly i have no clue if there is something out there, and i don't know if i want there to be something, because the idea of infinite life after death is just as unimaginable as the concept of nothing existing after death. Katie you seem like a really good kid, so i have to tell you, from experience, that you can't force yourself to fit in and pretend to be stupid to feel like you belong. The world is full of people like you, so don't feel like an outcast. I have only a sliver of hope left for myself right now, but I will not let it go. Don't let yourself get to that point. You genuinely remind me of my experiences in 8th grade. You can't focus on all the existential issues of the world. I've tried, and now I can't see in a world where everything hasn't already rotted away. Focus on the happiness, and what little there is, and how you can make more.
this may come across as rude or invasive but what do you mean by "punished [your]self"? i don't care if we're in an argument, you don't need to punish yourself. all you did was assume something about me, it's fine. while you didn't handle the situation in the best way, that doesn't mean you need to self harm or anything similar. i may be overreacting, but i just want you to know that if you ever need someone to talk or rant to or anything, i'm fine with it. i'm sure everyone else here is too. if you think engaging in an argument with me is too hostile an environment, feel free to not reply. i don't mind. however, if you do want to continue in a civil argument with me, here's my point (which could also just be used as advice):
when you delete your comment, all you do is erase your mistake; it doesn't mean you admit your mistake or apologise. it's an extremely ambiguous action and often just causes more confusion than relief. i don't understand how i was "reacting badly" in my edit, and i'm sorry if i came across as rude in any way. i don't really know what you were referring to when you said "saying that stuff about me" but, again, i'm sorry if anything came across as aggressive. basically, deleting your comment doesn't count as apologising, even if that's what you meant it as. i only edited my comment to avoid the inevitable confusion that follows a comment getting deleted, not to insult you.
i feel like you're playing the victim here, but you don't seem to be in a very good place mentally, so i don't want to push you. and, to answer your question at the end, i don't want anything more from you.
Wow. So I didn't even realise it was possible for someone to feel the same way I do. We're the same age and we're both clever and we both know we probably won't kill ourselves even though we think about it everyday. My situation with my friends is exactly the same - they aren't my best friends, they're just the best friends I've got. They would probably want to help, but it hurts too much to explain it to them and they wouldn't understand. The world doesn't look any better when you know what's going on - in fact, it just looks worse. And knowing what's going on, knowing you're clever and full of potential but not actually being able to do anything with it yet is heart breaking and you kinda just want to finish being you so you can go and be a better person who knows what they're doing and can help the rest of the world. Sometimes I wish I was stupid too, but for me it never lasts long. I hate myself but kind of know, on some level, that I have potential and I could be important and that it isn't fair to take away the good I could do with my intelligence even though I'm sure I'm a terrible person and I hate living as myself. And I feel like I can't live without my intelligence, because I'm not really anything else - it feels like clever is the only thing I am, the only thing people see, and I'm so defensive of it even through I hate it so much. I think I've kind of gotten to the point where I live in this little permanent bubble of numbness, because I really can't be bothered to care anymore, and that makes me feels even worse because what sort of person am I if I can't even care? So yeah. Wow. Reading what you wrote kind of made my feelings - and lack there of - hit me like a freight train. Thanks for that. You wrote that five months ago, so I don't know if you found someone or whatever, but if you want to talk, I'm around. I can't exactly give you advice, because I'm as stuck in the present as you are, but I can sure as hell relate. I hope things get better for you. I hope they get better soon. And if you ever need a internet shoulder to cry on, my jumper is always here to soak up the tears.
Hi! I just read this whole thread of sad messages and I'm just like "Shit I gotta get out of here or I'm gonna start crying again" so I went for a cup of tea and decided to write this. I'm late for this, like I am for everything, but hey I have an opinion too. You remember me of my sister, and that made me feel very sad. I'm not saying I'm super smart, but I kind of understand what you're trying to say in this comment and damn it hurts, because I'm 14 too, and I get that it feels horrible not to be understood by the people around you, but this comment hurt me mostly because I think my sister feels or will feel just like you. My sister is 10 and she's gifted, and I love her, because she's like the best sister I could ask for and she's just like me and even though I'm 3 years older than she is we still understand each other pretty well. She has a hard time getting along with people, because she's smart and no one likes smart people when the world is so full of empty minds and dumb people. So I don't know, I just thought your comment is true, and you're right when you say no one understands, but maybe you just haven't met another like you before, and maybe some day you will. Don't sell yourself short, you are very smart, but don't forget the world is very big despite our thoughts, and there are a lot of persons out there that feel just like you. I can't promise everything will be fine soon, but it'll pass, all the pain will pass and you'll feel better, and maybe you'll stop feeling alone. Thank you for your comment btw, you made me remember I have to appreciate my sister more.
I can't believe i was able to find people like you guys, who are dealing with same, or similar problems. I'm also the smartest in my year, you could say, and every one knows it. So much is expected of me from my family and classmates, and its a lot of pressure. I'm not a super genius, and I'm not always right, but I'm always expected to have the highest grades on tests and assignments because I'm known as the 'smartest' person.
The thing is, it's hard to have people expect things from you when there's a small chance it might not work out.... and if I somehow fail to meet their expectations, there's might be the
"Oh, I thought you were the smart one,"
comment, and that just hurts. I'm lucky that that hasn't happened yet, but it's not impossible.
dude I /was/ you. I thought I was the smartest kid in school, was designated gifted, had my first existential crisis at eight years old, used "big words" so people would know I was clever, argued over logical fallacies until I was red in the face. I had a quiet kind of superiority complex, and would do the same thing you're doing now: deny it, reshape my opinions, turn arguments back on other people. I outgrew it, and I believe you'll outgrow this too. Even if we function in completely different ways and your experience is far removed from mine, people are in a constant state of flux and you /will/ change and these ideas will change with you.
I /strongly suggest/ that you remove this person's comment from your previous one. They clearly deleted it because they no longer wanted what they wrote to be public for whatever reason. Maybe they wanted to apologize in some form, maybe they just didn't want to engage in this debate, but it doesn't really matter. For you to repost it is super disrespectful. Even under the guise of posting it for the sake of clarity, it's hurtful, and it's not fair to the person whose words you're sharing without their consent. There are so many instances from when I was younger where I pushed an argument too far because I was stubborn and felt I had something to prove. I have so many memories of hurting people because I didn't want, or maybe didn't know how to back down, and I regret each one bitterly.
I know that all this might fall on deaf ears because I remember being fourteen and I remember feeling like no one could understand me because I was in on some big cosmic secret, but please remember these little things and use them when you need em: - you can always be the one to stand down in a fight, and it /will/ make you feel better - you are more than the way in which you think, as are other people - every person you meet holds infinite possibilities; learn to appreciate them for their complexity, trusting that they will do the same for you
Good luck, be great, I love you.
PS: if you'd like to further your philosophical understanding, I recommend reading plato's allegory of the cave for some neat thoughts on perspective and the nature of knowledge
i guess i could reply to this. im not smart like the rest of you. but i used to be. all of my family had so much hope in me when i excelled in all of my classes and had so many hopes and dreams. now im also fourteen but my grades are plummeting along with those hopes and dreams. i dont understand things anymore even though i crave to understand deeper meanings. everythings confusing hard now and i am, stupid. everyone expects more from me but i dont know what to give them. im not talented and ultimately have no potential. and thats what hurts the most. its so sad to be decent at most things but have nothing to you. im not a memorable face and my teachers consider me just another student. universities wont look at me and think i deserve to study there. im lazy, im practically useless and im stupid, which is funny because i tend to over think things. overall, im basically on the opposite side of whatever spectrum im talking about than you, but we still get this song. i probably cant comprehend your pain and you probably wont get mine either, but hey, theres nothing to do right now but try.
RIE Honestly I don't think that you're giving yourself enough credit. Based on how you write I think you're pretty smart, and you don't have to be the best of the best to go to college. You're only 14, and you've got so much time left. Everything you've ever wanted to do is possible if you want it to be like that. If you don't feel like you're good at anything, put yourself out there more. I felt the exact same way you did, so I tried playing instruments, and found that to be something I really enjoy. Honestly potential has nothing to do with how intelligent you think you are, it has everything to do with how much you want something. People may tell you otherwise, but if you think about it that only means they gave up.
The thread isn't about how smart you are and neither is the song. It's honestly all about whether you feel misunderstood and need a place to explain that. I think you get that, so you belong here as much as anyone else
look, you're probably right. i'm probably an unattractive, arrogant, insulting and aggressive person that isn't even that smart. sure. but what you're saying is that you used to be me. did someone who used to be you give you a comment like yours? is that what caused you to stop being like that? i'd guess not.
my point is, most the time when i look at these comment i'm in the middle of a fucking depressive wave so i'd rather not be accused of having a superiority complex whenever i'm here. also, i don't use big words to seem smart. i just casually use them, because in my old school that was acceptable. i'm using them less and less because in my current school whenever i use them i'm fucking stared at.
however right you are, i don't fucking care anymore. i'm on the brink of deleting my comment because i can't take people talking to me just the way i'm complaining about in my original comment. i made this comment to get away from that. please just stop. i'm tired
EDIT: fuck it. i was in the middle of a depressive wave when i wrote this, but i can't be asked to write an argument against you. i've tried it twice, but i'm too emotionally worn down. mostly from things outside this thread, but don't get me wrong, this thread has worn me down a lot; from now on i'm just ignoring comments that tell me i'm:
-arrogant -unattractive -have a superiority complex -being dramatic -look down on "average people"
thanks for reading, i get you have good intentions, but i think you're right. we function in completely different ways, and our experiences are nothing alike
Katie SJG hey. I know I'm not good at giving advice but I want to tell you to keep trying. You are smart and more importantly wise and that's a blessing and a curse. I won't claim to know your brain but I see how you're feeling. But keep trying to make friends who understand; you will find someone I promise. I hope this helped :)
+AwkwardSoph well everyone a few family members and two close friends i've talked to about it has been entirely oblivious and unable to understand it, and if i was able to make them understand, they were entirely unaffected by the realisation. so, i don't think everyone does. hell, even my mum simply DENIES that life is pointless. just says "but the point is to be happy!11!1!!" even though happiness only exists to encourage us to perform actions that keep us alive to reproduce.
Okay I can't say I know exactly what your going through because I'm not that smart. I'm the smartest in my English and everyone expects me to be good but I'm pretty sure I've just failed my exams. And i'm not a popular girl so i know why you wpumd want to ve one but i would rather feel confident about my exams then about when the next party is. I'm 16 and I use to have existential crisis all the time, then it was scared of death recently it has been the meaning to life. An awnser that may never come because it's different depending on you. To some,like me films and TV shows is something I love to watch because of the way it can bring people together and the emotions it can bring. So think of me a crappy Yoda. It's better to be smart now and be able to do what you want with your life later than be smart in 10 years when you think if you had only paid attention in class rather. Plus party's are over rated.
I understand what you feel relating to the topic of existentialism. I always compare myself in size to the rest of the world and the rest of the universe and that makes me feel so small and insignificant at times and it makes my entire life seem as if its nothing compared to all of the time and space that has and will exist. It really harshly effects my motivation and drive to do anything.
Another thing that I expeience is that sometimes, I will look at myself in the mirror and find it weird that I look human and ill have to touch everything around me to try to reassure myself its real and I get a feeling that I'm outside of my body. It comes from almost reaizing im real and being completely overwhlemed by the idea of just existing in this world that I'm so unertain about. I dont know so much about the basic facts of life, like whether I'm real or not, whether any of the world arounf me exists either and just so much shit that I don't have the time to delve into.
Theres a reason that the phrase "ignorance is bliss" exists. Because its easier to be unaware of this type of shit, youre right about how painful it is. I'm just trying to show you that there are others like me that share these issues because the last thing I want is for anyone to feel alone about anything, especially this.
I havent become suicidal over this specific topic as you have, but I know what it's like to be in a dark place like that due to other reasons that I won't touch on right now. I just wanted to share with you a thought or idea that helps me with this. If things really are pointless then the minuscule things that happen day to day that can upset us so much dont matter. If nothing matters then I'll just try to have a good life before I die and thats the best i can do. If nothing matters then the best I can do is try to make myself and others happy. If nothing matters who cares if I fuck up a schoo presentation, or embarrass myself for whatever reason. If nothing matters I can try my best to make good decisions on chosing what matters to me, act on those things important in my life, and eventually die.
I'm a freshman and I don't want to be stomped on because people act like I'm dumb. Then I show them my grades and scores and they look so surprised. Half know that I'm really smart and the other half think I'm dim. I just with I were a different person.
I've just been reading through this thread and wow. I don't usually chip in to these sorts of things, but it felt more important for me to this time. If I could travel back in time by a year and show myself this thread, I would break down in tears, because that's mostly how I felt. I've always been quite social, so have friends to talk to, and I did back then, but it doesn't always help, sometimes it just seems like an even worse idea to tell people. Personally, I hate it when people completely change their attitude towards me in this sort of context, I didn't want anyone to feel as though they had to be careful around me. During my darkest hours, I struggled, and I lived a year engulfed in sadness, though somehow none of my grades suffered. I guess I've always been "smart", and now I'm 15. I'm expected to get top grades in all of my GCSEs, and have even taken an extra one which I'm also supposed to get top grades in. I'm heavily involved in the music and art sides of my school, as well as out of school. Whenever there is an educational opportunity I'm asked to go, even for the lessons that I don't take. The reason that I wanted to comment on this, is that it does get better. It's strange for me to think back, and know that a year ago a genuine smile was a near impossibility, because now, I am content, even happy. I too am always secluded as the "smart one" in conversations and I'm fully aware that they aren't wrong, but despite that, my social life has always been awesome. Something I've also come to terms with is that being clever is never a burden, even though it sometimes may seem like it. I've always been aware of the fact that in the end we all die anyway, and I had a week where I was very existential, but now a days I just shrug my shoulders when confronted with that issue. Often I'll try and reason out why, how I'm okay now and why I really wasn't before, but there isn't a definite answer. Despite this, I can give suggestions as to what might help: One of the things that I tried to do was start a new hobby, you don't have to be the intellectual type for this at all. Also pushing yourself out there, join clubs, meet people, go to concerts, keeping myself occupied seemed to help it all fade. Reading can help, a good book will give proper immersion and something to really look forward to. Theses are just a few suggestions, and they at not help anyone at all, but they did help me. Even if no one reads this, I hope it is known that everyone has bad times, I seemed to have a bad year after all, but honestly, I'm better and wiser for it. Just try to be nice. Don't give anyone a reason to leave you out other than that you are smart, and even then, offer kindly to help those who are struggling. I guess I'm done now, so I wish everyone luck and all those who struggle all the happiness for the future :)
This used to be me and I ended up not going outside for years I missed so much school and now I'm dumb as fuck. My intelligence was extremely important to me and now I feel completely worthless. All I want is to die but my brother already killed himself so now I can't and I don't know what to do. Planning my suicide was comforting and kind of made me feel like I could go on for just a little more then I could die. Now I just feel so stuck and it's a horrible feeling
you, don't know how much this actually made me cry. I feel, the same way. this is why we are here. you can't imagine how much this reflects me in real life. i'm "annoying, irritable". so much that people sometimes avoid me or just don't treat me, in a good way, or nice, at least. i wish i was able to be popular, handle all that talk. be strong. be amazing. not be a nerd, an "agreeable person" as i would put it. i have many "best friends like that", but at least i have two real friends i can depend on. although they aren't always there, they make sure i don't harm myself. i'm still burning my way through, but as dodie said, i will make it out alive & i wont regret it.
this section touches me. it's, so, parallel to my life at the moment, & i feel like i'm gonna get through this. I honestly hope you make it through, or that you already did.
you will find a group like you, & hopefully one of us will meet another & comfort each other in knowing we are all going through the same thing. we shall be strong, hopefully i can.
you go! i understand how people believe things are so easy for us we can skip a grade, but, quoting you, "we do more worrying about grades than the average person because we are held to such a high standard." the kids in my class expect me to some wizard or something along those lines & i feel that if i let them down, or fail to demonstrate what i can do, i just get crushed by all the pressure, alongside the pressure my parents give me, expecting me to keep my grades at 90's & 100's(which i rarely get). i just collapse under all the weight. most nights i just spend my time laying in my bed thinking, "what would happen if i gave up?" i still haven't gotten with anybody, but i will soon get to that part, or something around that topic.
trust me, we can all relate, & knowing someone else is going through the same shit is comforting, because you know you aren't alone, & that you will get through that. we are here for you.
i wan't to cry. this comment reflects not only me, i realised, but all of us, & i noticed how much your comment explained life. i don't know why i feel pressured to be the best, or why i have to live up to everyone's expectations, but i care, & i feel like i'm failing them, in a way. & that comment,
"Oh, I thought you were the smart one,"
, it does hurt. it hurts like hell. it has happened to me a few times, & i just wanna curl up & just not exist. it hurts. sadly, being a phisolophical, but emotional kid, it just hurts that much more. i don't make sense. & occasionally, i believe no one would understand me, not because i believe i'm better than everyone, no, i think everyone is better than me, but because if i tried to explain, i worry i would just implode, & the words would spill out of me like a geyser or volcano. they wouldn't understand the giant rambling mess i would be. i just hope i come out alive.
you're not stupid, so don't let anyone else let you down. i'm not saying this in a cliche way, but you have potential. be strong. you will one day find yourself to be "smart", as society labels it. almost perfect grades. impecable trophies or whatever shit you get. being smart means to be able to do things the best way, knowing what's right & what's wrong. being able to understand, to some degree. that's what i percieve you, & everyone else is/are. try, try your best, but don't exhaust yourself. go, be strong, you'll get through, not only one, but every night.
exactly! they're being (AURGHHHH, i forgot the word, oh, i remember) optimimistic, & these people always look at the brightest side of things. i'm not saying they're inferior or that they are lesser than us, but they haven't passed through what you are passing, they don't know, because they can't or won't understand. maybe they don't want to. don't blame it on them or yourself.
this sounds mean, with all the "hates", but it also sounds (a little bit, like a little, little bit) nice, since you said, & i quote, "I hate that you wish you were stupid." i just don't know. i also don't understand why this person is here, since this is a dodie viseo, but i understand where they are coming from.
Katie SJG I relate so much. On my standardized tests, which you can't exactly prepare for, I got 99s on every logical section of the test, or cognitive ability. This is a test where you are graded against everyone in America, so a 50 is average. 1 is the worst, 99 is the best, for some reason you can't get 100. I digress. I got a 97 average over everything though because on the English part I received a 72, and history a 87.
I'm practically the laziest person I know. In what is supposed to be one of the hardest high schools in my state, with a "guarantee" of 1.5-3 hours of homework a night, I have only done homework when a 1 month+ project is due the next day. I usually do my math homework while walking to class, and my teacher gets pissed because I don't show my work because I just do it all in my head. English class I enjoy, at least the reading part, but grammar I hate, as well as diagraming sentences. I feel if you shouldn't show why a subject could be applicable in daily life, it shouldn't be required. So, my favorite subjects are in order: philosophy, math, physics, and theology. The rest I couldn't care if they stopped teaching. When I was 12, I was a dim witted creationist. After I was Confirmed, I started questioning the whole of the bullshit that is the Bible. I called myself a Christian, but later I left that. The stuff they said just wasn't making sense, so I turned to Islam. I very quickly left that after I began to read the Quran. This all took place while I was in my late 13s. When I was 14, I was a full blown atheist, admittedly going through a bit of a phase, as it was all I talked about. But after that is where I really started getting interested in philosophy, specifically the idea of morality. "Why is murder wrong?" Was a question I asked myself a lot, but thank fuck I discovered cosmic skeptic on YouTube, because he explained it quite well in an hour long video, although it was worth it. Another thing, "what was the point of it all?" If there is no supernatural then I'm just here by a product of chance and everything is fucking pointless. And this is true. Except, what if it isn't? I've developed my own philosophical/scientific theory, but let me know if you have heard of anything similar, I want to read about it. The theory is as follows: do we have free will? If there isn't anything supernatural, then there isn't such a thing as free will. Because we are made up of atoms and energy. Say there is an all knowing being, and they know exactly how everything was 5 years ago. If they know every single molecule and energy and it's place in the universe etc, then could they predict what animals would be doing now? Could they predict humans? Do we really have choices, or is it just hormones and other elements of our body controlling us in a manner that is completely predictable with the proper knowledge? This leaves me where I am right now, 15, a nihilist, social reject, bisexual, and possibly suicidal. I'm not exactly depressed, just sometimes if I don't see a bright future, the logical side of me says, you could always end your life here. Game over. No more pain. No more suffering. No happiness either, but you won't know what you're missing.
I relate, in my gifted class my teacher would always say that it's normal to overthink. I'm pretty sure 50% of our small classroom struggles with a good amount of depression. Just know that you're not alone, there's lots of people that feel this way, and I hope that you can overcome these bad thoughts (this was just me rambling and it might not make much sense but just know that i'm rooting for you)
Katie SJG okay so there’s way too many comments here I must’ve spent at least 20 minutes reading all of them. The original comment is kinda old so sorry for joining so late to the party, hahaha. I would like to say it’s a relief to see people feel the same way I do, because literally no one gets it. I am lucky because I have helpful friends and family that always support me, but they don’t really understand, so it’s hard for me to open up because I don’t want to sound arrogant. I’m 15 and going to start my second year of high school in less than a month, and God aren’t I stressed out to go back in that class, where I will have to be alone all of the time and have no chance to maintain social relations with my classmates because they think of me as smart and boring. It’s true that grades matter very (too) much to me, but they don’t know that there’s MUCH more to me than what they see, what they assume about me just because I’m top of my class. Haven’t I wished so many times I was stupid. Haven’t I told myself intelligent and alone is better than stupid and popular. Haven’t I thought about suicide because I felt so lonely, and felt horrible about it, because it’s not fair I feel this way. Wouldn’t I like to be invited to a party, make them understand I’m not what they think I am, be respected but not excluded for what I am. Please, can we talk? You all could be the only people that can get these emotions of mine, I need to talk about it with someone. Twitter is @braverydjh. Stay strong.
It will be alright. I promise that you will find someone who understands what is happening. From experience you WILL be able to find what you need. Warning stupid story coming up.
I have autism or Asperger's or whatever tf you want to call it and it gave me a really good memory so I'm one of the smartest in my class. But I've always felt stupid and irrelevant and had already had an existential crisis before I was 12. Then I went to grammar school and still stayed smart but still just as anxious and depressing but everyone basically told me that because I was smart and doing well in school that I was fine even though I wanted to die but was too much of a wimp. But things got really bad a couple of years in and I couldn't cope with school work or my brain anymore and then I just had a breakdown in the middle of a physics exam. And bc I sit alone at the back no-one actually noticed as I sat at my desk silently crying and biting one hand while pulling my hair with the other and having a mental breakdown. My teacher noticed and walked me out the back exit into the store room and calmed me down. And he and the pastoral care woman helped me through and now I'm not so bad. I still feel small and insignificant and I probably always will but I feel like I can cope again. And the other day I realised that I was happy, really happy for the first time in weeks or months and I know that I'm getting better.
i couldn't relate to this comment more. i forgot there are people who feel this way and not everyone is perfect. I was bullied badly, lost all friends, switched schools and despite having "friends" at that new. i still wanted to die. The thing is i never told anyone i wanted to die. it took months to have the guts to tell my mom. Her response? "you need help" she had this long talk with me later that day and I felt like I should have never told her, seeing how upset she was that I felt that way. Sometimes I still feel that way, and I can't say it gets 100% better but it gets bareable and just know that you are loved <3
can I just say something... I need a Joe Walker, Brian Rosenthal, Dylan Saunders, Dodie, Jon and Thomas collab. somehow. they could sing 'days of summer' or 'not alone' please I can't be the only one who needs this please.
Okay so I know this comment will get lost in the sea of other comments but I really wanted to say this song helped me because I am 100% sure I have anxiety and it feels like my soul is slowly falling away but my mam thinks I just getting a little nervous and I'll get over it. She doesn't know all the times I have cried in secret and not been able to fall asleep. The worst part is they told me to stop listening to twenty one pilots and Dodie and to try to mix it up because I'm obsessed but they don't know that is the thing that is working the most from keeping me to actually have a mental breakdown all together. They're not bad parents they just don't realise that I'm dying over here and they don't realise how bad it is. I guess what I'm trying to say is Dodie your music is the key competitor against my strife and worry right now so THANK YOU!
omg i will tell you because i don't want you do have to do all of the research i did like HOLY SHIT but it's the Kawai ES100 Portable Digital Piano. i kid you not it took me like two months to figure it out.
reinbowskittlez k someday you'll get there. Everything takes time, but in the meantime, get help either professionally or from people close to you. Remember you're not alone and there is a whole internet of people for you to reach out to and talk to. It will be fine one day - just plough through the bad days. I hope this comment wasn't too late and hope you're well <3
Portia Everdeen thank you.. your kind words are like fire in the bottomless pit of mess and darkness. I am okay, but it's still a mess up here. I'll be better soon; I am getting the help I need, if you were wondering.
Epic Icey time zones. They are a thing. It's 10.45pm here in the UK. It's 4.45pm in Texas, and 3.45 in Colorado. All because as the globe spins light hits different parts of it and leaves some in the dark, so it's a different time of day here from elsewhere.
i win at life i knew someone was going to come up with the same thing so I commented immediately and then dodie replied to mine and now there are copies of the comment but dodie replied to my comment for the first time and that is an accomplishment
at the moment I've been rly sad. like everything I love I now just don't wanna do and everyone I love just seem to be pissing me off. I cry every so often and quite a few times idek why because I'm lucky I have this life and friends and a hobby I love but atm I don't want to do my hobby even though it's literally all I am and whenever I do or just think about it I think I'm about to cry I'm so confused and now I'm waffling on. but this song. this song is just so perfect in every way and Dodie is keeping me sane. she's getting me through what feels like some of the hardest day but to others they may seem like nothing.
the way she says "I promise you" seems more genuine than any other time one of my friends have promised me something. I've never even met Dodie, but she has impacted my life in ways that I'll never be able to explain.
also, this seems like she's talking to her younger self, telling herself, it'll get better, I promise. you're life will start to figure itself out, in the end, it will make sense. don't give up, please.
I honestly needed this so much, I'm such a closed off person when it comes to my emotions and I've been feeling kinda bad recently, my anxiety has been threw the roof for no apparent reason and I've been more depressed lately, and last week was so horrible that on Friday I had about 3 anxiety attacks and about 11 pm that night I broke down crying because my week had been so horrible and I just cried for on hours on my bed listening to Dodie's music this helps me feel not insane at times like these because everyone I know isn't going through things like these so I don't really have anyone to talk to about it :(
I love how this song is so calming and so reassuring. All the emotions that you've put really shine through. This song sends a message of hope to everyone who hears it. Thank you doddie!(srry if i mispelled it)
I am literally crying. This song is so sweet and encouraging and caring, even for someone that's had a great life and just needs a pick-me-up on a hard day. Thanks for giving me these wonderful feels Dodie! x
I love this. It is amazing what you can fit into a song. I haven't been diagnosed with anything but I hate life right now. This is the best thing to happen to me so far. I love your music and I feel so sad that, reading through the lyrics, it sounds like you had to go through something terrible to give us this. I think you are the best type of person. Have a great day!
I'm disappointed in my self, I listened to this while tidying my room as soon as you made it and didn't think much of it, however, skimming through your songs for a nice background sound while I draw, I realised this is about so such a sad topic.
Dodie I don't think you understand how much me, and many other people, appreciate your work. You write songs about emotions you go through so it's so easy to relate and understand the feelings we feel . I absolutely adore you and your beautiful mind xx
Today has been the first day in a long while that I've been able to say I'm ok and meant it. Thank you for helping me to get there dodie, my fragile lil' heart is filled with love for you
When this was first put up I thought wow, what a beautiful song, but tonight the feeling I've had lately of things not being right and the things I wanted sounding so unappealing and wondering what's gone wrong with me peaked and overtook me and I cried driving all the way home and suddenly remembered this song and needed to listen to it and it was just what I needed, like I hoped it would be. So thank you.
Wow like I'm seriously in love with all her original songs but this one this one right here really hits me right in the heart like I relate to this one sooo much well all of them but this one right here it's something else!!👌🏼👌🏼😍❤️
Jodie, i know you go through struggles too, and when you feel like you're at the bottom just look in the mirror and sing this to yourself and it'll all make sense again :) <3
thank you so much. this is exactly what i needed to hear right now. i love you lots and thank you for always being there even though it's just through a screen♡♡♡
Awww Dodie I wuv you so much and I love this song so much cause like a lot of your other songs, can be seen from different POVs and used for different scenarios :) Have an amazing day you amazing person :))
This is why we go through hard times... so we can spread love to those who haven't made it out of the dark yet. AKA you are going to be someone's savior!
This song has meant so much to me & it inspired a short poem that i recently posted (ig: frances.kyra), which i entitled A Secret for the Mad.. And i just want you to know that you inspire me in so, so many ways - as in, like, i mentioned you in counselling, because you're making that much of an impact on my life, so thanks <3
this is absolutely amazing.💝💝 Dodie you are unbelievably talented and your a music genius😩😩😭💝 I think this has to be made into a professional recording. either way I have to download this😭 I love you so much keep up the amazing work your supported!! I hope you see this😣💝💝 from Canada with love💘💘
Hey, thank you. Thank you so much. I think you saved my life. I've been more depressed than normal this month, and I've mostly locked myself away and listened to music. It was the only think I really loved. And once I heard this, I smiled and cried and so many emotions swept over me. Your music speaks to me in a way that I've never experienced, and I'm so happy that I stayed to listen. Thank you, you are so gifted and amazing and I'm so happy you are alive and making music! I'm sorry for the long comment, and I know I've said thank you a lot already, but I really am thankful. You gave me hope.
I've recently been going through a lot of bad things, especially about my sexuality. This song helps, I don't know why it helps so much, I guess all I can say is thank you. <3
I want to hear this song recorded with a bit more to it but I don't want to change the one constant key thing. It's really amazing how you made such a good song using only one note and your beautiful voice. I need to hear a studio version of this
it's oNE NOTE I don't understand how you can make pure poetry and amazing music through harmony and a single piano note god BLESS you dodie clark. this one hit me hard.
I've been off school for a few months now and been hospitalised twice during that time. I'm 15 meaning my GCSEs are in 4 months and I'm currently struggling with severe depression & anxiety. Yet your music somehow in he months I've been struggling has eased its way into my life and made living so much easier. I also play guitar, ukulele, piano & sing. But I haven't played anything in so long, expressing your feelings this way is so brilliant because it's making something so difficult into something better, Dodie with these people looking up to you, you do everything right. Honestly, your music got me through this night. I know you said you read comments but, I doubt you'd see a repressed comment of mine. You're so wonderful, we are all so lucky to have found your music.
Well, my head voice is getting quite the workout as I, a bass, try to sing this song as I do the dishes, make lunch, and pretty much any time I'm not listening to anything else. So beautiful, but /so high./
something I don't think about the words and listen to her voice and just fall in love with it. I can only hope to have such an amazing voice like Doddie has.
Do you ever hear a song and think "meh it's good but not my favourite" and then come back to it and be like holy shit I've never heard such pure amazing music. That's me right now
Just went back to look at this after having manager josh talk about it. I'm not one to cry at songs, but this one was an exception. I'm having a bad night and this made it so much better. I love you so much Dodie, thank you💛 (yellow heart of course--- but is it dodie yellow tho)
You're blood in my lungs and the breath that bites, I want to say you should be only mine but you're song leaves me stuck in a rut that I can't leave myself in so please do leave yourself here my golden tear

this is one of those songs that make everyone think "but...but nobody UNDERSTANDS this song the way I DO" because so many people get it but everybody's situation is different so they can apply it differently but generally it's all true i'm gonna cry
Hey so you probably don't look at these comments anymore, but I just listened to soul mates and now this and im going through a really hard time, and for you to almost perfectly described how I feel it me really hard. I just wanted to say thank you so much for the many ways you've helped me.
i played this song on guitar, and the only thing u need is a finger each on G and B string fret 9, pluck them together with the same rhythm she's doing and you're good to go
So I've listened to this before and love it but a youtuber named crankgameplays or Ethan played a game and left a link for this song and I was like what if dodie and Ethan did a duet. Then I realized I would cry
People tell me that I'll be okay and I'll get better; I always say everything happens for a reason and that my life will get better but my best friends can see through it. they have always been able too. They changed me and made me feel better. As soon as I felt better my depression pulled me back. It's like every time I find something that makes me happy, my depression pulls me back and I want to die again. I keep imagining their reactions too someone telling them that I was dead and seriously it makes me cry, I'm tearing up writing this. Soft songs like this help me stop self harming. Like twenty one pilots goner helps me. Right at the end of goner Tyler starts to shout and that's my call for help. "And there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it" Yeah there will be, but that seems so far away. You are amazing and this song is outstanding.
I've been in a place just like your situation. You've probably heard it a hundred times, but things do get better. Depression takes a long time to heal. I just hope for your sake that you get better help than I did. I was told that I was only doing it because it was "cool" and that "all of the other kids are doing it". These were the words spoken by my own parents. I honestly hope that you get help, as I know how it feels and I know how much it hurts. I wish you all the best, and if you ever want to talk I'm always here in the comments.
thank you thank you thank you Dodie, for singing exactly the words I needed to hear today. You have no idea how much this helped me. i got diagnosed with Bipolar recently and I've been feeling crazy ever since. this really really helped
Tunika-Naledi I promise It will get better, i was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder last year (13) and I was miserable for a while, but soon you will learn that the word "bipolar" does not control or define you.💕
I also have been diagnosed with bipolar this year but my dad has it so we saw the signs long before. Do you know whether you are more manic or depressive? Understanding which one you are is a big help. Also have seen a doctor about medication or another way to help? I understand the feeling crazy part. I was told I might have bipolar when I was 8 or so and I was in complete denial. And the stigma around mental illness makes the "crazy" feeling worse and all the while you are trying to deal with these two fighting forces internally. Something that helped me through that part was 1. thinking about how your bipolar affects you, your life, and your personality. For me I'm more manic so I get these emotional and productive highs. And without bipolar I feel I would be less creative. and 2. I try to remember that yes bipolar is a life long journey and that bipolar is apart of me but only one part. I am not bipolar and bipolar isn't me. Not giving bipolar power and control helps. I hope this helps. Stay strong. Honestly being diagnosed, even though its scary, is the best thing and even if your emotions wont always be up, the journey down the road of bipolar only goes up. let me know if there is any way to help :)
Alison Schneider I am more depressive myself which is really really difficult. I have recently been put on medication though which definitely helps. Thanks so much for the advice and kind words, it really did help. I also totally agree with you about the stigma about mental illness. It's awful but hopefully we can overcome it. Thanks for the help 💕
You've probably heard this a hundred times but life gets better. You have no idea what may come in the future, what with all of the developments in science. I apologise if any of this comes across wrong or difficult to understand. I don't words very well XD <3
moonscreams that's understandable. I've grown up around it so I have experience with some of the terminology. If I remember correctly (I'm very sleepy right now sorry) bipolar disorder is a chemical imbalance. So basically you have a certain amount of chemicals in your brain which stabilize your mood and change it from happy to sad etc. as needed. But people who have bipolar their chemicals don't stabilize as much or ever which either causes terrible mood swings or to be depressed most of or all the time. It's a horrible life long journey but it's easily treatable with medication and/or therapy. Personally I feel blessed / that I have it easier because it was caught early on which is good because over the years it's get worse and can lead to other mental health issues like my dad who now basically has chronic depression. And also I'm more manic than depressive meaning I get high energy and productivity more often then depression. With my meds I get very little anxiety and only a little bit of a crash after my manic phase so it's helping. I know this is long but I hope it helps!
Tunika-Naledi i wish you all the laughter in the world. in stages like these in your life it's the little moments and big smiles that you have to lean on. ♥
Annika Park i mean like a younow aha sorry but like 100% i've heard it somewhere and on a younow a while ago she like was playing a few songs live then played one off her laptop and said she wasn't sure about it etc and i feel that's what this is but maybe not ahahaha oh well dodie forever the mystery
i love these lyrics but the line "little things, all the stereotypes" kinda has me stuck. any idea what it means lads?? or @ dodie just anyone i'm interested
Miriam Gallacher i don't know but for me, it means that when you suffer from for example depression, you are "labeled" as depressed and at least for me that kinda makes me feels safer? idk it just feels that you're not alone and you are not abnormal. sorry i'm not english so it's kinda hard to explain :/
Miriam Gallacher i think maybe all the 'you're gonna be fine's and 'we're here for u' and so on i thought so as it just happened to me like 20 mins ago and i needed them and this song was perfect for the moment tmi soz sorry for bothering u
I think it means stereotypical things like having a bath with candles or watching your favourite movies, things that cheer everyone up will get you through the hard times for a while until you can properly be helped by friends and family etc :)
Sophia Le im so sorry that's happened and im so sorry for your friend im not sure if anything i can say is right or helpful because i've never been in a situation like that but i just want to say that i love you and you are so strong please enjoy today you'll only have it once :)
I totally get that Sophia Le, my dad did the same in November 2013 and I wish I could as well. It's so so difficult but I promise you it does start to get easier after a while. Don't get me wrong I still think of him every single day but it is less painful to think about him now and I'm able to remember the happy memories I had with him instead of just what happened in the end every single day. Huge hugs you'll be ok xxxxx
I so sincerely hope this song can help you get through then. You have all my wishes for a positive future for all you people affected by this and to the memory of your friend.
It creates this nice constant in the song, even though the background vocals change just that one note into different chords. There's always a little thing in the song you can fall back on.
honestly every time you post a video it makes me so happy. most days I dont even feel like getting out of bed but you inspire me so much :) thank you for everything dodie.
Thanks so much dodie. I just found out that my grandparents are splitting and it has come as such a shock that I've felt empty in these first few hours and am currently a blubbering mess. This song has been playing in my head and it's giving me hope and the strength to carry on when I don't feel like I'll ever be happy again. Thankyou.
Everytime I hear "I promise you" in this song, my chest fills up with that warmth you get with a familiar hug or a hand placed on a should by someone you love
i literally love this song so much i listen to it whenever i'm feeling stressed and it just sort of mellows me out i love the melody of "and i get that i don't get it" and the "little things, all the stereotypes" part and NOT TO MENTION "i promise you it'll all make sense again" and the lyrics are so perfect and AAGH words cannot express how much i loVE THIS S O N G
My friends and I always talk about making a garage and and they said I should play keyboard, but I have such smol hands so thanks dodie for giving me both, a song I can relate to and a song I could actually play.
Your voice is so soothing, and I love the simplicity of the one note on the piano. I've been struggling with something emotionally/mentally that I don't know what it is, and it's difficult when I feel mad that my parents/friends don't get it. This song is a good reminder that that's ok. They don't need to get it for them to love me. Thanks for such a beautiful song.
Dodie, you make me cry. Your music is beautiful. I've never heard art so pure and free as your music. Please continue to write. It makes the world a better place, at least for me. ❤️❤️
That was beautiful! Quite honestly, I cried listening to your singing. The words are relevant to what's happening in my life right now. I know this is not the rock bottom, but it feels like it. Your song helped me feel better. So, thank you for this wonderful dance of sound and words. You are my hero tonight. <3
I love you Dodie I only found you only recently, but it was so amazing to find someone who was going through the same as me and I just wanted to say thank you for making me happy when I was feeling sad and helping me get through my day 💜💜💜💜💜
this is beautiful and i can't stop listening to it because it is so perfectly encouraging and understanding like it comes from someone who just does get it
Dodie you are just so talented!! I love how original and real the music is you produce! It also feels like you sing diary entries which is just so good! Thank you for all these songs, they just make sense and sometimes exactly what you want to hear! I'm so glad you're getting recognised more and I hope you keep doing it, you are just so creative and have a beautiful voice xxx 😘❤️
This is beautiful, you are beautiful. It's that simple. I have gone through a lot and you will not know how much you have helped me through this all. Thank you Dodie. Thank you for making videos and thank you for merely existing.
that is so cool :D it encapsulates everything I love about your adorable videos / slices of life in a delicate and precious little melody ^^ thank you for this heart-warming song :)
Thank you Dodie for making such a beautiful song. I've been falling into a depression. I haven't been diagnosed but it's only been getting worse. I'm terrified to tell my parents or ask for help. I want and need help but I feel guilty because I have a great life. I just hate the way the world turned out. This song made me cry and I really need that. This is my new favorite song. Lots of love your way.
This song made me cry the first time I heard it. I've been struggling with such bad anxiety for the last two months, and it's so hard because not only does it feel like I can't explain it to others, I feel like I can't make sense of it myself. But after hearing this I feel less alone. I'm going to be starting therapy soon, I'm going to get through this, and it'll make sense again c:
since this song came out it's been the first and last thing i heard every day because it's so calming and making me feel a little less crazy. so thank you dodie
I love you so much Dodie, I cannot express how happy and comforted your videos make me. I've watched your videos for two years and I still love them all the same if not more. Again, love you and keep following your heart (: Love, Kennedy (Ohio, USA)
dodie..i can't even put to words how much your videos mean and how beautiful of a person you are, inside and out. you somehow put to music the outrageous thoughts echoing throughout all of our minds, and it's truly incredible. i've literally got a sketchbook full of drawings because your songs are so powerful and inspiring.
Having been through depression and anxiety and everything that comes with those things, and still dealing with them, I thank you so so so much for making this song to show everyone that is going through this right now, that it will get better. I fought my way through and now I have amazing friends and support and I'm happier than I've ever been. If anyone reading this is dealing with any form of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts, just hold on a little bit longer, it will get better, do not give up I'm begging you I've come so close to giving up so many times, and I'm glad i never did. Everyone loves you, even if they don't know you, someone cares. I care.
honestly, i seriously relate to this song, cuz u can burn your way through, and ive done it, and im actually ok. thats so insane to me because just half a year ago i was so ready to give up but didnt, and im still here
I'm really into the idea of having an album full of all these songs about happiness (or lack thereof). Like intertwined had when and sick of losing soulmates and absolutely smitten which was like love-based. I just spend so much time listening to this song and dear happy and human and 6/10 and down and maybe even gold star for me, I want them on an album. (But would you be so kind and love song/non love song I also need.)
You inspired me so much to post music and your music has really helped me through though times and ugh you are so amazing! My friend recently uploaded an original song on my channel called "help" so if you have time please check it out. I love you so much and never stop making music xx ❤️
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song. I also can't tell you how many times I have cried while listening to this song. This song and When make me cry in ways that I am not used to crying. Thank you for this song, Dodie. The tears I'm shedding right now are the best kind. It all does make sense for me right now, after having spent so many years lying and faking diary entries. To me, both of these songs are about depression and anxiety. When is the realization of how badly someone needs help. It's right before someone reaches out for help. secret for the mad is a while later, when that person can see through their depression and anxiety and can see themself getting better. This is a realization that always makes me cry. After a depressed period, it hits me really hard that I actually am okay. That I don't have anything to worry about because I am okay. I'm at a really big turning point in my life right now and I'm facing it without my therapist, something I was worried about being able to do. I had been seeing him for almost four years and I don't need to see him anymore. That scared the crap out of me but I knew I could do it for the exact feeling that this song encapsulates. I knew I could get through anything else that life throws with me because my therapist helped me realize I had the ability to cope with it on my own anyway, he just helped me find it. In January, I'm moving to a new school that I didn't know I could get accepted into but I did and I am actually going there. I am taking the next and most decisive step toward the rest of my life and that scares and excites me in equal parts. And it's all because of the feeling of this song that I know I can handle it. Thank you for making something as beautiful as this song. I wanna do a cover of this song, really badly. I just don't know if 1. I could make it through singing it without crying or 2. if I could do it justice because it's a really pretty song. But mostly THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! <3 Sorry for the rambling, I just needed to put this out there in case you ever read this. I love you so much and truly appreciate every single thing you do and am always going to be cheering you on!
I know that this song isn't really about this, but yesterday evening my parents told me that theyve decided to get a divorce.. And this song is perfect for describing what im feeling right now. So thank you, Dodie for this wonderful song xxx
It is a doorway! The door couldn't be there looking like that if it was a mirror, it would be reflected. The entire shot could be a mirror but there is no way we could figure that out
I live my life never understanding anything. Nothing people say to me makes any sense, no matter how hard I try. I hate talking to people using my voice, as in my mind I'm constantly paranoid that I'm going to stutter or mess up or make a fool of myself. I've been trying to learn sign language (BSL) to combat this, but nobody around me understands it. I spend all of my time wishing that I could just live normally, that if I could just understand what people are saying, maybe my life would seem better. This song has spoken to me in ways that no song has before. I see it as a message of hope. That one day I may be able to lead a normal life without special treatment that I don't want. That one day I can listen to a conversation and follow it. That I can concentrate long enough to get what's going on around me. That I can stop living inside my head.
If you've gotten to the end of my ramblings, thank you for taking the time out of your day. I never want pity, I just want to share how this song has helped me.
Panic! At the Phandom she said a while back that she would like to, of course, but that was kind of more a wish. she hasn't released any official information about that yet.
When she is in the hall it looks like the mic is on a stand just to her right. At the very end, it looks like she turns to her right to turn it off. When she is sitting on the floor I assume it is in front of her, but I am not sure about that.
Misanthropic life will move on the past will get further away and the future closer. Things will get better have faith, just remember you have to have the bad days to have the good ones. Happy Holidays, spend this time with family and friends and it will all work it's self out. I'm routing for you! ❤️
Carys Jones yeah I emailed her a few days ago but I know she's been really busy with he EP, meetings, stuff like that so I can understand why she might take it down Xx
+Chloe R yeah true, it's probably really hard to find the time to read messages and things on top of all that so it's totally fair enough if it has been taken down xx
Is it to do with people who have mental ilnesses and other people who just don't understand that what is going on with them is real and not just "In their heads"? This song makes me think it's about mental illnesses like depression and anxiety - I get that I don't get it ; nobody can know what it's like to have a mental illness until they experience it
well then, can you explain please how did you get to the idea, what were you inspired by? Because at first listening and reading the lyrics it seems like you're talking about a crazy angry man, who's not really crazy after all, he just goes through a hard phase in which he feels he's getting insane, and you just try to comfort him and show him that even if he feels alone, he really isn't and people care about him, that's why the word "mad" is so perfect to fit into describing his condition. I can relate to this so much the way I interpreted it, but I wanna know what the songwriter, AKA you meant. (And you're marvelous for replying, you're great.)
Now that you guys have replied with your views in so much detail, I may as well elaborate. While most of the lyrics fit with both aspects of mad, (crazy and angry) there are a few that only impact me personally when I'm angry, like how "It'll all make sense again." I've had a mental Illness since before I can remember, so it never really made sense in the first place. The "again" makes me feel like it is less crazy. But when I'm angry, sometimes when I cool down, I realise other views and things make sense again. Also how "100 people listen to [us] cry." As a man, I've been taught to keep everything to my self and not let emotions show too much. So I only cry in private and don't complain, not because I think other people will think less of me, but because I want to show myself that I can remain having a 'good' life, even if my home life is sh*t. As I said before, I don't want to complain, but I also want to pour my heart out at the same time. I come from a family of alcoholics on my mother's side, and my dad was raised too well and was never taught how to handle proper stress. Earlier this year, my mother's sister committed suicide and that has been a massive toll in the family and community. Of course, there have been thoughts in my head that I really wish weren't there. Nothing that I would go through with because I have faith in God, who has been a real help this year. I realise now, that I should probably stop droning on about everything. So this is where I am coming from
I definitely agree with your point of view and it just makes me see how talented Dodie is; she can create a song that can connect to people in so many different scenarios. I hope everything gets better for you :)
I think it's less about being clinically insane than just feeling like you're going insane. It could relate to mental illnesses, but I don't think it's necessarily entirely about them since they don't go away, but things in general can and will get better (even if you do have mental illnesses).
Eden Gallagher For me it relates also to those who are mentally ill. I was having a hard time making sense with the pain that I'm feeling and then I heard this song. For me this song gave me hope, and that even though this pain is burning me, and feel like I'm just drowning in another day, If I get through this, the world would show me that someone still cares. That the world is still a beautiful place to live in.I'm really grateful for this song! Thank you Dodie :)
+Rey Joseph yes exactly, I think it definitely still relates to mental illness and was probably inspired by it, but it's not saying your illness will go away, it's saying no matter your circumstances you can still be okay again. And I can relate to this song a lot even though I'm pretty sure I don't technically have clinical depression or anxiety
I just read through all of this and I find it strangely beautiful (not mental illness or anything like that it shouldn't be romanticized) that one simple thing such as a song can be interpreted so many ways and can give hope in so many situations and made so many people feel a little better despite their extremely different situations
I interpret it to be like autism. How nothing really makes sense all the time, but it's like a message of hope that maybe one day you'll be able to lead a normal life where you can actually understand things
The way I see it, she's talking to a depressed person as someone who's made it through to the other side of an episode (or whatever) herself. When you're depressive it's like nobody in the world cares or understands what you're going through, so the lines "I get that [I/you/they] don't get it" relate particularly to that. When you can remember what the world felt like before your mind fell into the way it is during a low point, you miss it and just want to be OK but that happiness/contentment/energy/etc seems totally unreachable - so she promises that if you just get through this shit bit then the world will (eventually) make sense again.
I want to help, but I know nothing, I want to leave this here. http://www.crisistextline.org/ Whether it helps or not. I feel for those who feel everything going down the shitter.
I know that now. now that I think about it an ironing board probably wouldn't have been made of wood in the first place (or at least SHOULDN'T be made of wood...)
+cat watched that video but I don't recall her saying that, thanks by the way! (also, I actually wanted to know other people's personality types haha) :D
Hi. ummm. wow ok. I just wanted to say, that um.. a few months ago I went though my darkest period I've ever had. I couldn't get out of bed for two days, two awful days I couldn't watch tv or read. I just lied there and cried and slept. I felt so incredibly empty. And the only inturption was when my phone went off (loudly) and it had this video loaded. It had been sent to be by a friend. So I watched it. It made me feel hopeful. I'm not being dramatic I'm just trying to be real, but It helped me get the strength to get out of bed on the third day. Thank you...
i'm young. i deal with depression. people done take me seriously. they don't take it seriously... and it hurts... but tonight i'm hurting the worst... i've struggled with self harm really bad... and tonight... i'm forcing myself not to break my clean streak... and it feels like im being punched in the stomach over and over again and my head hurts and my heart is beating fast... tbh this song is helping me not hurt myself... thank you dodie...
There's an ad in the corner that says: HOW TO STOP PANIC ATTACKS The White Bear Affect. I as well know how to stop panic attacks. Listen to Dodie Clark.
this song is so beautiful. it has to be one of my many favorites from u dodie. so much meaning and love in this song. helping me and many others get through their day! love u!
I've been going through a really tough time mentally lately and it almost felt like dodie was singing this specifically for me. thank you for giving me hope and making me smile, dodie ❤️
Once again crying from another beautiful masterpiece by dodie :') Loving the message of this song. Thank you so much Dodie for singing words we all needed to hear <3
I love this message, and I love you! 💜 I feel like you've put into words a lot of the things that I feel! 💜 Thank you for being such a powerful voice! 💜
The increased confidence suits you and your voice well. Nicely done, Dodie! And, feel free to turn that knob right up: You have the voice and the right to use, feel free to own it.
I've been listening to this on repeat for days. I've been feeling so low and awful and hearing this makes me feel that little better, that little bit more understood. It feels like I've got someone supporting me and that's nice because I don't really have any support so this really helps.
" little things, all the stereotypes, they're going to help you get through this one night. There will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it"
"I promise you, it'll all make sense again"
Thank you Dodie for making me feel supported and loved
I love this song. I know I say this to every single one of your songs but this is one of my favorite songs. I'm listening to it repeat. It's beautiful and has a wonderful meaning!!!!❤️️❤️️
alright I've been listening to this (almost) non stop for the past 3 days and how is it that you always post songs right when I need them? god I love you and I'm so thankful for you and your music; you're such a beautiful soul
Dodie, thank you so much. Going through a lot of things, alone is hard. But I don't feel alone because you know. And your songs, they help me get to another day, and believe that it'll be okay. Thank you. I needed this. Love you xxxxx
this genuinely helped me so much, Dodie.. i actually can't explain the impact you've made in helping me sort out my mental health... i never really thought i'd promote myself like this, but i recently started a poetry instagram (@frances.kyra) and it's honestly been really good for my mental health - if anyone wants to take a look, i'd really appreciate it. keep doing what you're doing, Dodie, you inspire me.
i usually dont comment, but this song. it makes me feel so...much, thank u, i find it so beautiful and i has kinda helped me rn. thank u again and greetings from Spain
Dodie is the most amazing beautiful person Dodie stands up for people Dodie helps the people that need it Dodie is a beautiful singer and sings songs that we can relate to Dodie is a person that loves the good people and hates the bad people Dodie is someone that can make you smile Dodie is amazing We all thank you dodie-someone thats just a fan(i could right more bit its hard my thumbs will fall off)
Hi Dodie ! This is so great, I think you're the most touching artist I know... Will you come in France one day ? I know it's complicated to organize things in countries that do not contain the biggest amount of fans, but I'm sure we still are a lot willing to see you and hear you and hang out with you :) I'm not sure it's a valuable argument but it's closer than the US... ;) Love you <3
okay but my name is Maddie and people call me Mad sometimes and this song relates to me so much with everything that I'm going through and i know it wasn't made for me but it is scary how relevant this is to me right now. Thank you Dodie. You mean so much to me.
I'm trying not to cry because I just felt the song. I'm going through depersonalization and keeping it together is quite a struggle. But this song is so amazing
Dodie, my 1 year old brother comes in room sometimes and the only thing he wants to watch when he comes to my room is you! he listens to your music 24/7. He can kind of can say dodie, for some reason but the funny part is that when it's night time we put your songs Sick Of Losing Soulmates and Down. sorry but i think this is his new favorite song
It was a hard day today and I burst in tears with this song finally...refreshing though. thank you soo much. -by a young korean girl trying hard to get in university:)
SERIOUSLY how are you capable of making such harmonies with yourself and just that simple piano rhythm. You're bloody amazing Dodie, I mean it. So freaking talented.
Hi Dodie I was wondering, if you haven't already if you have opps, make a tutorial for your song She as it is one of my favourites. Thanks big fan of your music.
Dodie can i just say, that you are not only a lovely, vibrant, gorgeous person, but an extremely talented musician. You and your songs inspire me and every song you post is soooooo beautiful and they all fill me with wonder. Nobody's perfect, but you're pretty close to it in my eyes! I even named one of my cats after you! Your video about bisexuality is what inspired me to come out as well! Thanks for always being there for me, in the strange, distant way that the internet makes possible. Love always, and merry christmas from Australia !
I’m crying right now, I wanted to kill myself less than a month ago. And now I think I’m in love and I couldn’t be happier to still be on this earth. It’s early morning and the sun’s just beginning to rise. It’s been hard; it still is. But I’ve got to do this. I’m going to do this. Because I have a future. One with a beautiful wife and a little daughter who I’d love to call Maisie. A little white cottage with giant sunflowers and the early morning sun. I’m doing it for them. If not for anyone right now; for them. Because one day I will make that future my reality. I’m not leaving now; as hard as it may be to stay. Thank you Dodie. Not only has this song made me appreciate the fact that I’m alive but all your other songs made me realise I’m in love. And maybe, just maybe, my little sunshine loves me back.

1 likeI'm glad you didn't. I also hope you're still around as I commenting it. I get it. I'm in that place a lot. The pressure will let up sometimes though and maybe if you don't feel it will get better, at least know that it won't always feel so bad every moment of every day going forward. There will be small things that will make it better even if for a a moment, like cats, and dodie. The internet is already full of ghosts, I don't want you to become one. I want you to keep having little moments of being okay and getting through it, because maybe those little moments will expand into full days and so on. Things feel like the end of the world a lot, and it can really be convincing that it is, but it's not, there are many surprises ahead

@Schuyler Pablico - that's why I'm thinking you might not completely understand suicial ideation. To be completely rational when your in that much pain (from mental health issues or terrible life circumstances) the most rational way out is death. It's easy to judge & not understand (like I used to) but once something that your literally not able to ever leave that is the choice your left with. Mental illness is real & terrible life long circumstances are real. Please be empathetic to these individuals.

3 likeseverytime i feel sad, anxious or anything like that i come back to this song. it calms me down and allows me to think through what's happening in my mind. nothing has been easy for me in the last few years, and the lyric i can find myself in is 'there's nothing to do right now but try'. all i have been doing is just trying, and to this day i still am, but the best thing is that i haven't quit. i kept trying, even through the hardest of times.

1 likeDodie. I am holding on to this song like you wouldn't believe. I feel this song like it's the feelings tumbling around in my head. You have such a unique gift. Your writing/music/storytelling strikes a cord in me like I don't feel with anyone else's music. You make my soul move. Thank you.

I LOVE the line where she says "There's nothing to do right now but try, there are 100 people who would listen to you cry, and I get that they don't get it, but they love you so much that you won't regret it". It reminds me of what my friends tell me, "You can make 100 mistakes, we will listen to you cry, but we love you so much that you'll never regret it". AS you can see, VERY close to that line (:

17 likeshey you know your feelings and you know if your not ok. you dont need no diagnosis to make your problems real
7 likesI would say that you don't need a diagnoses for the issue to be real, but you usually need one for people to believe you. No one believed that I had anxiety and depression until I actually got diagnosed about a year ago.
11 likesJoanna Tsimiklis Thank you, but personally I do not think I will get out of it. Although I hope and think the majority of people who suffer will.
1 likeforrestfruits True. But in the context of mental illness you must have a diagnosis, it is not correct to say you have depression and anxiety- for example- until a doctor, that is very skilled in such matters, tells you so.

144 likesThis song means everything to me, Dodie. When you first released it, I absolutely loved it, but now it means even more to me & I need to share. Last night, I had a terrible anxiety attack, & I've been struggling with a lot of depression recently as well. This morning, I awoke with this song in my head, so I decided to listen to it... & I realized that everything really is going to be okay, & there are people like you that completely understand what I'm going through. Thank you, Dodie. I love you so much.
37 likesI was diagnosed with clinical depression yesterday (whoopee) and it turns out I've had it for about 4 years. When I first heard this song I loved it and didn't really know why. I'm pretty sure I listened to it on one of my good days and just chalked it up to "Oh yeah great song good lyrics dodie's voice is awesome yes" but figuring out that I have depression has changed the meaning completely, especially because this week has been one of the hardest of my life. This morning, this song wandered into my brain and I played it again. I cried. Mainly sad tears but also hopeful tears. I will make it through. There will be a day when I can say I'm okay and mean it. Thank you for the secret, dodie. ❤
21 likesalso!! if anyone feels like they might need help PLEASE GET HELP. I know it's hard (trust me, I know it's hard) but I promise you that you'll feel better if the right people know. I wish I could reach into the past and tell 15 year old Rea that what she's feeling is okay and that she just needs to open up but because I can't, I'm telling you. Even if you're not sure you have something, just please talk to a professional about it. I love you ❤

I believe something is wrong with me and I decided that tomorrow I'm going to ask for help to my school's psychologist. I'm scare that he's going to say that I'm just exaggerating but since yesterday I've been crying so hard because someone robbed me, but when I cry I just not think about that fact but about other things like I feel so alone right now and that I feel I have no one I can talk to. I'm sorry if my comment upsets you, but I just wanted to say it to someone.

0 likesThe single note reminds me a lot of the feeling of a dissociative episode.
2 likesEverything , inside and outside muted down to an insistent , overwhelming buzzing in your brain, that swallows every other emotion and sensation.
Memories cut off from you , new experiences erased or detached from you - and all you are left with is using logic and working to buy yourself the time to break trough it with phrases you can barely understand, as they make no emotional impact.
Dodie's music helps me get trough - and it might be ironic, since she may be struggling with something similiar during the recording. You learn to remain functional on the surface.
1 year, 4 months later and this still makes me feel that weird mix of smiling and crying and hope and knowing which I need at low points in my life. Thank you Dodie. ♥️
1 likeso I've been a long time fan but I heard this song today for the first time today. I really needed to hear this. thank you Dodie
2 likesOkay this song is just everything to me - when it started I was like “hMm okay I like this” but I thought it was just another comforting song,, but when she says “and I get that I don’t get it” it broke meeeeeee and it breaks me more every time I hear this songggg. Also when she says “I promise you” it feels really personal, and the effort she puts into the word “promise” is just skkskwdksks 🥺🥺 uwu I love you so much dodie youre really helping me get through a lot,, you helped me not to start cutting,, you gave me a reason not to🥺❤️

5 likesgo on pinterest and search pre tattoo, theres a bunch of tattoo "guides" on what to do leading up to and following your first tattoo to make sure it all goes well! also, make sure you over prepare for it. learn the tattoo laws where you live, find a place that follows them properly (and still double check when youre there) and preplan your design, but still without getting too hellbent on one specific design as some artists like to add their own personal touch to each design just to make them unique to them, but also dont be afraid to speak up if modifications are being made that you dislike! tattoos are hard to remove, so you wanna be super sure that you end up with something that matches the feeling in your heart so it stays meaningful.

5 likes@MarbleGray Yes, but it's kind of my thing to be the only one who knows the meaning.

Thank you for shedding light on mental illness and all that stuff it really means a lot to me.

Y'know, all it takes is a note, harmonies, and a few meaningful lyrics to make anyone feel happy again ♡
1 likeThis song is honestly how my depression feels, I've been listening to it cause a lot of my friends don't understand what I'm gonna though.

Thank you Dodie for making such a beautiful song, you and this song both mean the world to me. Have a wonderful day
1 likeThis song is absolutely my new obsession (I love all of 'You', of course!).
1 likeOn the EP version I love the way the backing vocals come in nice and powerful towards the end. I like to think of it like a whole bunch of 'your' friends joining in with the main one (the singer) to show you support :) .
Dodie, I feel like I am not worth anything and about an hour ago I was ready to give up. I then remembered about this video and it really got me through it. I doubt I'll ever be truly happy but when I needed it you were there and I am so grateful for that

3 likesI don't know you, but I know that you are a beautiful human (you have to be if you like dodie, as well as Dan and Phil). You are a gift to all of your friends and your family. If you can't find the strength to stay alive for yourself, then stay alive for them. You are so, so much more than what your illness makes you think you are. Having suicidal thoughts means you have an illness, so if you haven't been diagnosed yet, go to a doctor. Just because you can't see it DOES NOT MEAN that it's not a disease that can be medicated, just like pneumonia or chicken pox. With the proper medication and the right friends who you can open up to, I promise that there WILL be a time when you will be entirely happy. Don't give up, keep fighting, and you will get there.

1 likeHonestly I always come back to this video and this song when I need a little bit of hope. I love everything about it: the beautiful lyrics, the calming melody, your sweet voice and the magical framing with the fairy lights and the piano outside the door, just far enough away that it feels like the viewer is looking in on private, deeply personal thoughts and feelings, but close enough that we can see you and feel and share your pain.
2 likesI was listening to this on Spotify just now and I broke down crying. These words are so much more powerful than any other song I've ever heard meant to make me feel better.

313 likesIt's such a weird coincidence, because I was just reading through my diary from last year and remembering how bad my mental health was at the time - and thinking about how much better things have become and how far I've come since then. And then this song suddenly popped up in my recommendations. It just somehow reflected exactly how I feel right now and what I'd say to myself last year if I could speak to her. This just came at exactly the right time for me. Last year I thought things would never get better - and I'm still not perfect, I'm still scared, but I'm fighting through it and life does get better, no matter how long it might take.
1 likeThis song reminds me of warmth, of sitting and crying over these very words, of small fires and fairy lights.

1 likei listened to this song for the first time in a restaurant alone. I cried and i didn't regret it.
1 likeher words speak to me :) thanks, Dodie
I was recommended this video and as soon as i heard the first note I was overwhelmed with memories and trauma and just broke down crying. When I first learned about Dodie I was going through a really hard time in my life, discovering my sexuality, gender, and I was in an unhealthy relationship to make it worse. I listened to this song when it first came out and any time I was upset I would turn on this song and just cry everything out until I felt even a little bit better. This girl meant the world to me then, and even if I don’t think about her as often, I will continue to have nothing but love and respect for her helping me through what I’d say was one of the worst year of my life. Thank you, Dodie.

3 likesAth Athanasius you guys are so nice! Thank you. I'm doing a lot better now. I have 3 weeks of treatment left before I'll be discharged. To put some things in a little context, before I went into hospital I was almost completely housebound because of my mental health struggles, and today I have just finished 3 days of camping at a music festival. That would have been unimaginable when I wrote that first comment. This song had continued to help me. Something about it is just so earnest and encouraging. I don't know how many times I've listened to it now. Thank you all so much for caring. It's so encouraging. I'm still looking into what will happen when I get discharged, but I have so many more options than I did before. Obviously most of that is the treatment, but sometimes you need a lovely song like this or people caring enough to ask how you are to get you through the terrible moments and into recovery. Thank you :)

1 likeI've listened to this song countless times and you have no clue how much it has helped me and impacted my life. When things get hard for me I replay in my head it'll all make sense again and it helps me reach some perspective. I am overjoyed that this song will be featured on your new Ep, I look forward to carrying it with me everywhere I go (literally). I thank you deeply and sincerely for this song and the message within it.

Thank you,
1 likeI really really needed this right now x
I have never been more touched. I first listened to this when you uploaded it in december, and I didn't really listen. I heard it, liked it, but didn't really know what it said. Since the beginning of march I have been struggling with depression. One of the biggest downfalls for me now, is feeling like I am burning, broken, useless and mad. This song has a special place in my heart, gives me hope and makes me feel like I am loved. Thank you dodie, I could not cope without you, your wonderful voice and your creative talent. Thank you thank you thank you <3 love from Holland
1 like"I promise you it'll all makes sense again"... This line... It hit me like a fricking thicc truck.... I'm currently in a really lost place right now... I... Don't know how to go on... But... I luckily... I still made myself a purpose to live on... Since I don't want to let my close friends or family to feel what I am feeling... I would rather to suffer a little more than to make the people that mean the world to me... To feel guilty for not understanding me... For not talking to me a little more...
2 likesthis song is so beautiful and pretty but it always seems to strike a chord in my heart that makes me have like a breakdown
1 likeThis song for real makes me cry every time I hear it because I need to hear it right now and also I can remember so many times I wish I could’ve just said this to myself.
1 likeAll of Dodie's songs are very dear to me , and I've related to a lot of her songs before. But this one for some reason just hits me really hard. It's the only song of hers that leaves me sobbing every single time I hear it. Maybe it's because I've had a stressful few weeks, I don't know, but this song just really gets to me. This one is going to touch a lot of people.

0 likesI came across this when I was experiencing the worst my mental health has been through and during an anecity attack where I couldn’t stop shaking and I was sat in my room at midnight listening to it over and over crying, and 8 months down the line I’m fine, but every time I listen to it again I can’t help but tear up and feel so strongly towards my health and it’s proof that I burned my way through, beautiful song.

this song has kept me alive for the past few months, as well as you. I can't thank you enough.❤️
0 likesdodie... your song-writing has just come on leaps and bounds over the last year or so and I'm in awe. this is such a stunning song. it kinda reminds me of Feist, if you know her - the way you developed something so beautiful, meaningful, capturing, out of something so simple. the rhythms and harmonies are just yES. also your voice in this? holy balls. you nailed those high notes and ornamentations like wow wow wowwoww wow wow wow omg.

Thank you for inspiring me to seek help instead of remaining to self harm and drink because I am grateful everyday for finding this amazing new light and that's thanks to you. Keep doing what you're doing, because I never knew that just watching someone on youtube could save lives until I found you.

1 likeWith every dodie song I hear it gets stuck in my head for at least a week and I don't even get sick of it. When Intertwined was released, each song got into my head in turn (first sick of losing soulmates then intertwined, when, hole in my tooth, life lesson, etc.) This week it's been this.

0 likesI honestly cannot count how often this song has been there for me, dodie's voice the only one talking me off the cliff of all the ways I want to self-destruct and kept me hanging on long enough to access help. I wonder if she reads these and realises how much this one song alone has done for so many of us who live with the pain of being neurodivergent, of battling chronic invisible illnesses people stigmatise or judge us for just because they don't fully grasp how exhausting an ache it is to live a life where your brain is both trying to protect and harm you at the same time.

5 likesI am so glad that I stumbled upon this channel when I was looking for covers of Death of a Bachelor. The songs, the lyrics that even though don't affect me because I have never gone through what Dodie has gone through or the thousands of people in the comments explaining and telling others what they're going through and how the song means so much to them still impact me in a way I'm not sure how. It must be the beauty and the meaningfulness in the music or even her that makes me replay the songs over and over again. The people that Dodie surrounds herself around love her and truly care about her like the many people in the comments section who can never get enough of her, it's so beautiful.
0 likesI love this song. <3 For years, I struggled with depressive-anxiety. For years, I didn't know I did. I just thought I was weird, or too emotional, or just dramatic or not normal. I believed what everyone told me I was, including my family, because they didn't understand that there was literally a sickness in my brain that I can't just overcome with happy thoughts and forced smiles. I used to look at my friends and wonder why they could be so happy at parties and hanging out with each other, and why I always felt so left out and isolated. I used to be told "if you keep worrying all the time, you're gonna die early!" Well, that was almost true, because a few months ago, after dealing with this condition for years and all the shit that built up, I really did almost take my life. There was only one thought that stopped me: "other people have been through this. Just find someone and get help."
0 likesThat day, I put the National Suicide Prevention Line phone number on my speed dial. Then I broke down and told my husband what was going on. He was very supportive and, while he doesn't quite understand my own problems, he does his best to give me what I need. I called a therapist and set up an appointment for that week, and have been going bi-weekly ever since.
I was terrified the therapist was gonna put me on suicide watch, or tell me all the things I had been told my whole life and continue telling myself, but she didn't. She really listens, and gives me methods and exercises to try to help me control my brain instead of just pushing pills down my throat.
Guys, if you're to that point, just remember that so many of us have been there. If you need someone, call the suicide prevention line: 1-800-273-8255. Get to a doctor. Talk to a trusted family member or friend. You're not alone, and you're not crazy, and you're not anything that your mind tells you that you are.

1 likeWhen I heard the lyric "There will be a day where you can say you're ok and mean it," it reminded me of my best friend. She has been struggling with mental health. She has gone through, and overcome self harm. I still think she is going through things, like anxiety and depression. I don't know what to do. I care about her so much. When I heard that lyric I instantly thought of her. She always says she's fine when she's obviously not. Her birthday is coming up. I heard the lyric and stopped everything. I wrote out the lyric on a piece of paper, in different fonts, and in different layouts. When making it, I started crying. I care about my best friend so much. I'm giving it to her on her birthday. I cried twice while making it. That lyric means so much to me.

And my anxiety has been increasingly getting worse and worse and I'm going to the doctors in two days of writing this to hopefully get medicated. That lyric hits me so hard for both me and my friend's sake. So much love to your friend. She's a fighter. 💛
5 likesthis reminds me of my best friend as well, except she never overcame anything.. i worry about her a lot but everytime i tell her that i care she just says "okay" and stops talking. one time i got her to open up and she told me she had planned her suicide. i was trying not to breakdown crying. all i could say is "please remember to talk to me."
4 likesEmma, all you can do is try, be there for her. Not everyone can be helped in the end, but that doesn't mean we don't try. For some context I've had a life-long struggle with mental health issues including anxiety, depression and both suicidal ideation and attempts. I'm still here, and that is in part due to friends, even if my life is far from brilliant. I've also been on the other side, desperately trying to help friends and lovers with their mental health. I've been lucky enough to not lose someone that way yet.

But I am better, and I’m getting better, and even though I still have horrible days where I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, they’re much less frequent now. Most days, I can and do believe that I will be okay. And I will be. Thank you, Dodie.

0 likesthank you so much for this... your new EP and especially this song is the only thing I'm listening to. its on repeat. i just recently just got dumped by the love of my life, the person i love most, because he fell out of love with me even though he said i'd done nothing wrong. i'm also suffering from depression, and it has become so much harder and worse after these recent events... this song makes me feel like i'm not alone, and also makes me feel like you're here for me even though we're just strangers. so thank you, for being so talented and such a beautiful person inside and out. for being so kind, so understanding and so lovely. you are my inspiration and my hope. <3

0 likesi wouldnt get through high school without this song. i was so depressed around that time. it was before I even realized I got a toxic best friend. my old best friend specifically told me "you're not depressed". its as offensive as it sounds but i was stupid enough to believe they were right. my mum also disregarded my mental health. she would always yell at me and hit me for failing my exams. whenever i try to open up to her shed just tell me that its just the demons in my head and basically gave me speech that i should pray more (bc shes a very religious person). i felt so alone but when i listened to this song i realized it will be ok soon.. and it did. Quoting the lyric of this song, "there will be a day, where you can say you're ok and mean it". It is very true. Im so grateful to have dodie in my life. Thank you sm dodie.

0 likeswhen i first heard this song, the lyrics didn’t sink in. it almost seemed boring and pointless to hear one note on a keyboard over and over again. i used to skip it when i was running down her playlist of originals and struggling to maintain my busy college lifestyle.
0 likesit wasn’t until i needed to hear the words that my brain actually absorbed them. it was like i was hearing the song for the first time. i cried and cried because the words meant something so important to my sick brain. the thoughts i needed so badly we’re finally swirling through my mind.
thank you, dodie clark. i might not be alive without these beautiful words. these three and a half minutes of one note on a keyboard. with a lot of patience the world finally does start to make sense again 💛💛
I'I actually tearing up because of these lyrics
1 likeIdk if anyone will ever read this but I need to get it out.
47 likesI finally felt like things were going okay. I'd reached a point that life was going somewhat smoothly. But now I feel like I've screwed everything up.
See, I made a new wonderful friend one month ago. When we first met I had no idea I'd fall for her. Alas, I did. I admitted my feelings and was told that I had a chance. I held on to those words and hoped they'd come true. But now she's changed her mind. And I'm just wondering where I went wrong.
I feel like I always mess things up in one way or another. I hate that I get attached to people so easily. I just want to feel okay again. I say I'm fine but I'm not. I've been broken too many times. My " best friend "hasn't spoken to me in five months, while other friends constantly ask me for help but when I need their help, they're never there. I'm scared of loosing the sweet new friends I've made. And most of all I'm afraid of loosing the girl I fell for. I really hope everything will be okay in the end.
Dodie, I'm holding on to these lyrics with everything I have. Thank you for these songs and your amazing personality from the bottom of my heart. 💛

2 likesI’m not sure if you’ll ever read this, and if you do I don’t expect or need a reply but I wanted to tell you genuinely how much this song has affected my life. I’ll make this short and without any trauma dumping. I first heard this song about 4 years ago. Since then, I’ve survived so much. So much that I probably shouldn’t have and more than a few times that I almost didn’t. When the world and my mind were dark and I felt as if there was no hope left, I listened to this song. I listened to your soft promises and reassurances that it would make sense and that it would be okay. Sometimes I believed you, sometimes I found it really hard to believe you. But I always listened. I hoped you’d be right because you had to. I needed you to be right.
Things have been hard, harder than I can even express, but I don’t regret it.
To say you saved my life might be an exaggeration, but your words gave me hope, even when my mind told me not to trust you. Today I realized that you were right in everything you promised.
Finally I can proudly say that I am ok.
And I mean it.

1 likeI always come back to this for a little middle of the night cry. ♥
1 likethis song always makes me cry. just reminds me of when I wanted to end it all, and then i feel that way again, that's how emotional and powerful this song is for me. I was bullied badly, lost all friends, switched schools and despite having "friends" at that new. i still wanted to die. The thing is i never told anyone i wanted to die. it took months to have the guts to tell my mom. Her response? "you need help" she had this long talk with me later that day and I felt like I should have never told her, seeing how upset she was that I felt that way. On top of that I barely ever see my dad. Doesn't help that he is a recovering alcoholic who sells wine. Heck, i found some in his care a couple weeks ago. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, and those who are my friends but i wish i had more. I'm not a bitch but i feel jealous when i see people i know on instagram who get comments all the time saying "i love you!" "you're so hot". Not that i need validation but a boost of confidence would be nice. Anyway, thanks dodie for a beautiful song.

6 likesI just started high school today and it has been rough. Not rough as in having TONS of homework on the first day. I mean rough as in rough on my mental state.
2 likesIt's just that there are so many things that the teachers want me to do and I'm just terrified that if I slip up then my whole grade will be ruined. I'm getting so caught up in the rules, but not getting caught up in the classes. There are so many little things about the classes that are just adding up into one big mess. And now I'm in the thought process of "I just REALLY can't do it anymore. I'm going to be stuck doing work I don't want to do or need to do and I just want to escape. I wish I was just... gone." And that is still how I feel. I feel like I can't do it even though I'm a great student. I was literally crying earlier because of all of this. It's just super overwhelming.
But then I turned on this song for some reason. I don't know how but I just kind of remembered that it was here and so I decided to listen to it and I'm glad I did. The lyrics are really calming me down like "there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it" and "it'll all make sense again" that last lyric is really helping me. It's giving me a sense of hope. Do I still feel trapped and want to be gone? Yes, but Dodie is kind of helping those things not become so heavy.

I’m his last “obstacle” he says. Once I stop caring for him, which won’t happen, he can go. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone when he goes so he wants me to stop caring. In his head I’m the only one who cares. He’s an online fiend btw. And no, it’s not one of those weird manipulative online people. He’s my best friend and I’ve know him for over a year now. I’m going to send this song to him tomorrow as a song suggestion, I hope it lifts his spirits even in the slightest bit.

0 likesAmazing! :D I love the line "and I get that I don't get it" because sometimes we don't understand what the other person is going through, and admitting it is important. Otherwise we're gonna keep insisting we do and pushing our not-well-thought-out advice and solutions on to them because we think we know exactly what's going on. Sometimes we do get it, but it's important to admit when we don't.

0 likesthis past year was extremely hard for me. My parents are separated and I had been living with my mother. My step dad was awful to me and I put up with a lot of stuff. I decided to move away and leave all of my friends and family to live with my father. My dad is a very selfish guy. He always put me on the back burner and I just went through a lot living there. I had lost almost 40lbs living there because I was just so depressed. I decided to move back and start over. I was angry about everything. I was angry at my dad for leaving us when I was a baby and just not caring. I was angry that my mother had chosen my stepfather over me. I was just angry all the way around. The day I listened to this song was the day I moved out a year ago. So many emotions were brought up. This song just hit extremely close to home and gave me hope for the better. Dodie, you are truly a blessing in disguise. You might not see it, but you are one of those people who just brings a light to this world. Keep up the amazing work💛💜💙❤💙💜💛💙❤

Fuck me up. It is too early for this. It hit me like a freight train. I'm 22 and for years I've been going back and forth from doctors trying to get help for my depression and anxiety. It felt like so much effort and wasted time for something that never helped or worked. A few months ago I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 disorder and everything seemed to click into place. Why none of the medications I had tried seemed to help. Why my symptoms felt like they only sometimes matched. Why some days I felt so fucking invincible and the next I was floating in the endless abyss of emptiness. For the first time in my life I feel like I'm getting help that may be working. I've got a psychiatrist who isn't blaming everything on me being gay, or fat or on my parents divorce. Who actually listens and knows how to help me with something I can't control. Someone who is making it easier to deal with day to day. I'm hoping I'll one day (soon) be able to say I'm okay and mean it 😍😍

0 likesHere after my first ever panic attack. I needed to find something that would calm me down after such a long day. Reasoning behind the panic attack: My best friend took my phone while we were at a skating rink with a few friends. He wasn't aware that I had anxiety and panic attacks, neither did the rest of my friends. So as he went skating with it and two of my friends tried to catch him, my breathing got heavier and faster. I fell down against the wall and tears filled my eyes as I couldn't control it. Luckily, my friend Mallory came back with my phone and I started calming down. They were confused of why I was tearing up. My best friend came back, laughing, then laid on the wall next to me out of breath. He saw my tears and my chest going up and down quickly. He asked me what was wrong and I told him about my anxiety and that I had a panic attack. He felt so guilty. I told him it wasn't his fault; he didn't know. So yeah. My bestie feels guilty for not knowing about my anxiety and it had lead to my first ever panic attack! So here's the story for anyone who actually read this far. Hope you had a better day than I did. :/

0 likesBut a broken, tear stained girl looking back at me
She has invisible scars she carries through the day
And most don't even look her way.
She's been hurt before, she has many a bruise
But this pain is unlike anything she's known.
Can't you see behind her eyes of glass?
She's going to shatter once this moment has passed.
Keep it together, she tells herself
Put your jar of emotions back on the shelf.
But it's of no use, she can't take it anymore
As the saying goes, when it rains it pours.
However, though you think you've come to the end of your rope
There is always a reason to still have hope.
Hang on to that glimmer of light with all you have
And never forget what you can learn from the past.

0 likesi love this because it gets stuck in my head which for one is good because it's a fuckin ace song, and two, like,,,, these are the BEST lyrics to be playing in your head repeatedly??? because it's a constant subconscious reminder that "in a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad" which is TRUE and that "there will be a day where you can say you're okay and mean it" which is TRUUUUE and my brain is usually buzzing with thoughts that are quite the literal opposite and it is SO HARD to get those thoughts to stop or replace them on your own with positive ones (like these lyrics), but because this is a song and a fricking GOOD 1 it just gets stuck in your head so easily that the negative thoughts are replaced without having to try and i just,,, its so lovely, it's like honestly therapy in your head THANK YOU DODIE BL ESS YO U

3 likesno, it's A, you can see the key that Dodie presses, if you are familiar with the layout of any piano/keyboard, you'll know that all C notes are before the two black notes, one left of C is B, and 1 left of B is A on every white notes. She's playing an A

One lyric, 'there will be a day when you can say your okay and mean it' really hit me because while it may sting and hurt now, in a few days, weeks, months, it's not gonna matter. It does hurt now and I feel like s**t but it will be okay, and that's what matters.

0 likesThis is my favourite Dodie song. I ran away from school when i was 9/10 and it was the biggest mistake of my life so far. My family don't know i have depression, I don't even know if i have it. I don't want to go to the doctor and them just saying i'm absolutely fine. It just seems embarrassing. I see this song as a letter to my younger self saying that i don't NEED to run away and it will only end in flames.

0 likes“There will be a day were you can say you’re okay and mean it.” I have never identified to a song lyric as much as I do to this one.

Earlier this year I took a stand for myself and I called him out for it. The police got involved but they could find no evidence against him so he was never charged so now he is threatening to take me and my sister out of school. I have to see him in a week and after everything I honestly don't know if I will come out of his house alive. And of course my depression and depersonalisation are still around as they always are.

I know this is going to sound cheesy, and I'm sure you've heard it before, but it really does get better. Not all at once, usually, but little by little. One day you'll wake up and realize that your smile came just a little bit easier. And another day you'll realize it wasn't so hard to get out of bed that day. And sometimes you'll slip and fall backwards, but that's ok. Because someday you'll be sitting in your house, there will be money in your bank account, your favorite weather will be happening outside and someone you love will be making your favorite food, and you'll realize it was all worth it. Every tear, every scream every mean thought about yourself have built you up, made you stronger for the person you'll become. And you'll be amazing.

and there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it
I promise you it'll all make sense again
I promise you it'll all make sense again
I promise you it'll all make sense again
I promise you it'll all make sense again
I can't wait for the day I say I'm ok and mean it
0 likesI don't believe in fate. This song came out and dinged my notification just as I lay down in my coat and boots after the most crushing doctors appointment I've ever had - they referred to my suicidal depression as a low mood. Again. And you made me cry, and I couldn't stop thinking of this song for the months I couldn't sing. And now I can say I'm ok, and I mean it. I don't believe in fate. No, not me.
0 likesi started crying while watching this. thank you for all you've done for me, dodie, even if you don't know what you've done.

0 likesright so let's talk. I was here for this upload, i got the notification. I sat, I listened, I cried. all fair and well. the last time i listened to this song was the night i tried to kill myself. Its been 9 months since, Im sitting in the same place i was that night, with the lights off in the same onesie. It hit me when i heard "And there will be a day that you can say you're okay and mean it." It's been nine months, I've hit a place im not fully recovered but i truly can say I am okay. I dunno am really emotional. thank you so much dodie.

0 likesi just found out i have to move to another state in a month. im going to leave all my friends and pretty much everyone i care about, and im supposed to come back next year but km so scared. im scared that my friends will make better friends, or that they'll replace me, or that they'll just split apart while im gone and i wont be able to do anything about it. and im scared that ill just be alone again. ive gone through this before and its so hard for me to make friends, and i finally got lucky and found people who care about me and who i care about. theu're my whole world. and now they might be gone. and i thought this year was going to be so good and my mental health was going to get so much betterand now i know it wont. god im so worried that nothing will be okay and i feel like im just going to end my life before the year ends. this song is giving me a little bit of hope. thank you.
1 likeI wish I could cry to this but I just can’t, what is happening to me? I feel like after having such a bad few days that now I can’t feel anything. I don’t know why I’m like this, if anyone can give me a bit of advice id love that
0 likesI don't have suicidal thoughts but just recently my brain has taken over me telling me that you're gonna die someday and nothing around you will mean anything in years to come. This really upsets me and I'm finding it so hard to get rid of them. I'm thinking of going to a doctor sometime soon but I'm not sure when but in the meantime, I am in desperate need of some help. I know this community is really lovely so I feel like I trust you and I can tell you this. Even writing this is making me cry. Please help. Thank you.

And I also have a massive fear of death too which doesn't help at all.
0 likesMy dad is at the hospital after trying to commit suicide and this song hit me so hard. If he dies I'll sing this at his funeral. Then I'll just hope that he's somewhere up there and that he'll hear it. Not to tell him he should've kept trying but to say we understood and we were always there for him. He was never lonely but he must've felt so alone.

1 likeAll my life I've been focused on my studies but got to know little bits of what life really was all over my boring and totally monotonous ride over the years, I've met a girl I fell in love with, my dear J, i lost her due to my cowardice but still managed to make some other girl friends which helped me to get over my past love, but still never managed to know how it feels to be loved in the way a relationship does. Now I've lost contact with this other girls, and I'm a lonely boy crying in his bed, listening to the only voice that can make him feel better.
I can't believe that I've been getting the lyrics wrong for the last six months - the captions clearly state that it's "I've got a secret for the math, in a little bit of time in one house of bad"

4 likesThis song means so much to me. My ex girlfriend and I broke up in July and although that seems like quite a lot of time ago now, I was so in love with her and moving on and letting her go was the hardest thing I’ve ever put myself through. I ruined our relationship, I was unwell and I needed to get help for my mental illness. It wasn’t fair to put her through the pain of looking after me when I was hurting her as a result. This song kept me going through every single difficult day for 6 months where I had to force myself out of bed to go to my lectures, go to training, go to counselling, do some work, be social and not spiral into a dark place I had been in before because I didn’t want to get so low again. I was down and Dodie helped me through. Her music spoke to me like no other artist has before. I can only thank you for this. I am in a much better place, it all makes sense again and I can’t wait for what the future will bring. I finally got to see you live on Friday evening and it was better than I had ever expected.

0 likesI recently moved schools from an all girls day school to a mixed boarding school (still only a day pupil and go home at night). At my old school I had quite a few friends and no one hated me for who I was. I would happily talk about YouTube and Harry Potter in front of my whole year. Now I've moved schools and I hate it. We're all in houses (like hogwarts- we eat together, spend our free time there and our friends are supposedly in the house) and I'm in the only Day pupil house. At first i had quite a few friends and we all ate together and did normal friend stuff but then they found out I like YouTube and tumblr etc. Ever since they've been ignoring me and it's hell this was about a month ago. We're not allowed to sit with other houses at lunch and since my friends are ignoring me and the only other girls in the house are popular girls or a group who are nice enough but make it quite clear they don't want me there I either skip lunch or have 'early lunch' (go in early for a club and sit where ever). I feel so disjointed from the rest of my house. On top of this I'm moving into a new house next year because the one I'm in at the moment is too big and I'm going with these girls. My only other friends are in a boarding house, they're really nice and don't judge me. I've begged my parents to go into boarding so I can be with my friends but they won't let me because it's £4000 more a term. On top of this I feel like my parents hate me. They say I'm so difficult and they even bought a book to help with difficult daughters. They keep comparing me to my sisters who are much older than me as well. We fight on a daily basis and they hug me/show affection to me once a year max. Last time they hugged me was April 11thish when I had a chest infection and the time before that was on my birthday (6th April) the year before when I spent the whole day in my room crying because my grandma had been burgled and everyone seemed to forget about me. I don't know where I'm heading in life and I spend most evenings locked in my room crying. I know how fucking privileged I am trust me but I just want friends and parents who love me and actually show it. I dont know what to do because my parents don't know I have no friends and the reason I want to board is that all my friends are boarders. If you've read all of this thank you, I'm sorry for wasting your time but I'm desperate.

0 likesEarlier today I listened to this song and I felt so happy. Now when there are tears streaming down my face and I just put on this song the feeling came flooding back to me from before and it's the best thing. Your insides are screaming, your body tenses up and your face is forces into a smile. It's like you're squealing but no noise is coming out. The reaction is excited but the feeling is pure happiness.
1 likeI don't know why I hadn't listened to this song before. It's honestly the best one you've written nd the best i've heard in a while, dodie. I'm in tears. I'm so fucking proud of you. it deserves to be all over the radio.

0 likesThis reminds me of a memory form about 2 years , when I was on a summer camp with a group of young quakers (religious people). I had just finished year 11 and my GCSEs which was like the lowest point in my life. We had a group worship in the evening, which was initially silent, but anyone could speak. I think I said something along the lines of "year 11 has been difficult for me . I've found it so difficult to keep up with work and friendships, and I've spent a long time thinking 'IM NOT GOOD ENOUGH' . And being here , amongst people who I know care about me has made me feel whole in a way I haven't for so long. Because I don't have to achieve, or be anything. I can be... me... and that's enough"And I think by the end of this my voice kind of cracked, so the guy next to me put his arm around me and I sobbed into his shoulder. After the worship had finished ,(by which point I had completely just broken down uncontrollably) he hugged me and said "it's alright, you're going to be ok" repeatedly. And this song made me think of that, the gentle reminder that things will be ok eventually.

0 likesThis is the first time I've listened to this song fully. When it was first uploaded I stopped watching. Idk why, I guess it was because I wasn't in the mood for something really deep to listen to. I wasn't really in the mood to analyse the lyrics. I kinda forgot about it after that. But today I came back, I listened to it once, just listened. I thought it was alright, (I'm not very good at taking in lyrics just by listening to them). However, then I read the lyrics as well as listening, and my goodness. I regret not coming back to this sooner. Within reading/listening to the first two lines I burst into tears. This is magnificent Dodie and I can most defiantly relate to this song. Xxx :)

0 likesdodie I don't know if you read comments from not recent videos but I want you to know that you seemed to upload this at the perfect time. After this was uploaded was right after one of my best friends passed away and I went through a hard time but this helped me and I listened to this almost every day because it kept me going but I started feeling better so I didn't listen as much. then just recently, my grandfather grandfather passed away and I immediately went right back to this song and I just hope you know that this means more to me than you could ever imagine
0 likesNote: Dodie's outfit is v aesthetic and I may or may not be drawing fanart her?
1 likeEvery now and then all I used to ever want was someone to come to my room at night stroke my hair and whisper "I promise everything will be okay" or "stay strong" or "anything can happen if you put your mind to it, you can get through this." Until of course these words were overused and lost all meaning, so much that i would fill myself with useless anger just hearing them. I'd get angry at people trying to help me. People who loved me. How heartless of me, what was I doing? I get that they don't get it. They will never get it but that doesn't mean they can't help me. These little things can help me get through a night just as this song has for me. Every now and then I still need someone to sing me a lullaby and promise everything will be okay, but I won't admit it. I can't express how much this song means to me without sounding cliche, however I believe all cliches once had meaning and still can if you let them. If you trust them.
28 likesHere's my cliche for you: your music helps me through and I'm so grateful for that.
Thank you Dodie.

612 likestrigger warning
i'm not going to be modest in this because modesty just makes people sound nice, and i don't care to sound nice.
half the other kids at school are jealous of me because i'm virtually the smartest person in the year. i don't like my school as it is because of how everyone thinks i hate them just because if i go out twice in a week i'm irritable for the next month. or at least more irritable than usual.
i don't want to be like this. i wish i was a social butterfly. i want to be the popular girl and not because i want boys to like me or girls to or for people to be jealous. i wish those things to mattered to me.
i wish i was stupid.
i'm fucking fourteen and every other day is an existential crisis coupled with contemplating suicide and no one fucking gets it because i'm fourteen and all they think of my intelligence is that i get really good CAT results and that i have a huge vocabulary.
nobody ever thinks about the fact that i'm smart enough to know more about philosophy than the average university student without ever reading about it.
heard of existentialism? philisophical theory that everything is pointless. i managed to think up the entire theory without ever hearing of it. and the theory of determinism (kind of like fate but it's not just the ending that's set in stone.) which only makes existentialism worse. you can't change anything. life's a fucking mess and you can't do shit about it. it's pointless.
but i still don't kill myself.
why? the simple answer would be i'm an extremely emotional person, so when i try to my emotions overpower the logical side of me that tells me to kill myself. or it's because i'm a wimp.
i don't really have close friends i talk about this stuff with. i have "best friends" at school but they're just idiots that think they know about the world and think they fucking get it. they don't.
i know that they would want to help me but they don't understand and i'm kind of glad because it's so painful to get it. and i don't want them to experience that kind of pain, no matter how much pain their lack of understanding may cause me.
i wish i was stupid. i wish i didn't get this song. but wishes don't come true when all you do it wish.
so i listen to this when my classmates peer pressure me into going to a "small" party and when i have lows for no reason.
because that's when i want to die. and i know i won't kill myself. even if i don't listen to this song. but hey, this song makes me cry. and sometimes that helps.

48 likesI get that it seems that nobody gets you but I am almost the exact same:
I'm 14, I'm in eighth grade. I'm the smartest in my class (I'm not a genius just extremely smart) being smart is more difficult than others think. I have a huge vocabulary and stunning grades but sometimes I wonder if it would be better being a (excuse my word choice) dullard. I always have 100 things on my mind at once and nobody gets it, they don't get that sometimes people saying "omg she doesn't count" (when they talk about what the average person knows) it hurts me, I want to be one of them but I can't. I don't know the purpose of life; I'm not suicidal but I'm completely apathetic when I comes to whether I live or die. I feel the pressure to achieve great things bear down on me and I just don't feel like waking up, I don't feel like doing anything. What's the point, we all live small lives in a big universe that doesn't care about you or how you feel. No one hears your cries for help because it's come to the point where in order not to be pushed away and called a freak, I push others away. I can't tell anyone face to face how I feel, how I don't know how long I can last until I exhaust myself. Sometimes, though, I find someone I can relate to; your story caught my eye because for the first time in a while I thought, this is someone who gets me.
Don't worry though because just when I think, I have no purpose, no use, other than to be one grain of sand on an endless beach in the middle of nowhere, I find someone, a friend, who will listen and tell their experiences and for a moment everything is okay. We all have worth, maybe someday you will be that friend who reassures, the shoulder to cry on right as the other person needs it and, if we keep supporting each other, our lives (all of our lives) will have purpose.
I'm sorry, I wrote all of this but your predicament touched me.
dogs forever
42 likesthank you. just- thank you. recently loads of drama happened (and by that i mean a few people got angry in a group chat) at my school. someone was attacking (verbally) someone else, so i stepped in. so they started attacking me. then the person i was defending started attacking me too. then a random bystander decided to attack me as well. and they all insulted me by saying things like "you think you're so smart" and "you're always in class like 'oh i don't know if this is correct but-' bullshit" (i ask a lot of questions in class, often because i already know a bit about things that are mentioned so i seek clarification if that makes sense). so that really got me down recently, and to top it off when got home from a sleepover (the drama happened just before i left for the sleepover) at my only friend's house (she's in another school) my parents started fighting, and it's my fault. then for the rest of the day i just felt empty inside, what i imagine depression feels like.
that was yesterday, so this message really helped. i'm probably going to read your reply whenever i listen to this song, because i find it hard to empathise with myself but hearing that someone else is going through the same things makes me want to help you, which makes me want to help me. thanks.
also, i really don't mind the long reply. i'm pretty sure this reply is as long as yours anyway xD
Katie SJG Couldn't have put it better💘 stay strong. I understand completely, but after school finishes people will be more intelligent and you just have to hold on x
12 likesKatie SJG I know exactly what you're talking about. I wish I was stupid. I know so much, I can see everything so clearly, and I think about everything and what it means to be everything and if nothing even exists because there's always been something, and no one gets it, because they don't like to think about it, because it scares them. people are stupid for their own sake. people act stupid because they can't bare to be anything else.
20 likesHey. I'm smart like you. Seriously. I realised everything was kinda pointless when I was like 10 or 11 maybe. I try to create my own philosophical arguments against the existence of God in my spare time. So far I haven't made a foolproof one because there are some people out there who always have answers to God questions. These answers jump way too much to be realistic, but I kind of have to respect their views if I want them to respect mine. But, do you know what philosophy means? Course you do. Love of learning....well it could just mean 'love, wisdom' which means if you're a philosopher you want to know what things actually mean and how they come about so you want to know about love and why it exists and what the meaning of life is but I guess you knew that already too, but just for the sappy asf comment lets use the first one. Love of learning. Sure you're not a social butterfly. Sure you're not popular but you wish you were just so that you could actually care about the things other people do. Sure you wish you were stupid so that you didn't realise the pointlessness of each day, and sure you're sick of getting out of bed and reliving the same thing over and over every single damn day because all of it is pointless and boring and nothing actually means anything. I have 2 answers for you that I hope help. 1: Philosophy. Love of lnearning. Now I dunno if you ACTUALLY like learning but you're sure good at it but maybe aim for something different. Philosophy. Go do it at University. I don't know how much you'll ACTUALLY learn because, hey, it's all theories and we could just be lab rats in a world so advanced they create pocket universes for medical testing and every big epidemic is just them testing a bad medication on us. But you'd sure as hell be good at it and probably enjoy it, even if it does just fuel your enthusiasm for the world to be pointless. You'd be able to create, if you haven't already, your own foolproof theory for this and then get it published and then be respected and be surrounded by people of you own intelligence. When you say you know more about philosophy than the average university student, I'm not so sure. Why? Because there are a LOT of people out there, just like you. Maybe not as many as there are like your friends, but there are a lot. Trust me I go to a school for clever people and it is HAAARRDDDD. But a lot of those super clever people go to University. And if you want to do philosophy you have to be REALLY frickin clever, so I don't know if you actually DO know more about philosophy than the average university student, I mean it depends what they're studying too. Guess you can only go and find out right? Point 2 is that if the world is pointless and life is a mess and you can't actually do a damn about it why not live life to the fullest in this pointless existence because that's all you can do. Enjoy it while you're here and while your fleeting, miniature, pointless life lasts. Because in the grand scheme of, things, as you know, everything is meaningless. So...why not try to enjoy your life? Bloody hell that's what most of the successful clever people try to do. Live a long and enjoyed life. I mean I know it's hard but some super clever people actually manage it, even with existentialism bearing down on their shoulders.

11 likesi'm thinking of doing philosophy at university, but i don't know what sort of career i could make out of it. i should probably research it.
by my statement "i know more about philosophy than the average university student" i meant that when i was 12 i thought up the theory of hard determinism, as well as existentialism. i only found out when i was 13 that these theories already existed. my phrasing wasn't great, but i was just exaggerating the fact i was able to think up two complex philosophical theories without any assistance or contribution from others (whenever i tried to talk to anyone about it they'd just say "oh but there is a point. to be happy" or "but i feel like i have free will, so i must have it" or some other shit).
hope this made sense
Katie SJG I was going to respond to this with more of a story, either about me "relating" to this or my kinda friend being in the same situation (which makes no sense because how would I know) but I just can't find the right words for it, all I can say is keep on thinking and try to be happy I guess
5 likesI know this was all like a week ago, but I sympathize with your plight. I'm going to be a junior and I'm still one of the smartest people. it'll always be kind of lonely to be really smart, and (Lord knows it is for me) but I just take comfort in knowing that the work I do is good and I'll find people like me eventually. 💜
4 likesI am actually in an extremely similar position to you (just the age difference) and before I read your comment I couldn't figure out why I feel that way and now I understand. I am the smartest in most of my classes and have so much going on (my music, a sort of social life, a small business I would like to start) but none of my friends get it. I end up talking about all these things I've heard or read about and they just brush it off and talk about something else. It also doesn't help that none of them like my style or music and that some sometimes try to change that. I just end up thinking: 'should I listen and be more like them?'. I end up pushing that thought to one side because I do like the way I am but no one gets how much that hurts. But then, they do say 'ignorance is bliss'. Anyway, whatever position you're in now, I really hope that you push yourself to be as good as possible because it would be brilliant. And might I suggest taking up a hobby that you have to work hard to get good at? Such as music? Do something you haven't done before so that you're not the smartest in the class, if it helps that is. But please don't even think about suicide, you have a gift, use it wisely. (I know this sounds a little cheesy but oh well!)

Katie SJG Katie, I know what you mean. I'm 11, (6th grade) the smartest person in my grade, I don't really have friends, and people don't get me. But, you shouldn't wish to be ordinary. You being unique makes you a wonderful person. As it gets hard, always remember that as long as YOU love yourself as you are, and accept you for who you are, you can do anything. Always stay strong. ❤️
9 likesKatie SJG relatable. Declared "intellectually gifted" at eight years old. Everyone thinks things are so easy for people like us because things come naturally, but in reality, we do more worrying about grades than average people because we are held to such a high standard. I'm generally happy because I immerse myself in so many things and i have been pushing away my philosophical brain for many years. I find that it's much easier (though ever so slightly unsatisfactory) to push those thoughts away rather than to allow myself to be consumed by them. Because I learned to do this I am much happier because I feel a little less freakish and a little more like everyone else. I've recently gotten out of a relationship (with a regular person, quite an interesting experience) so I've had lots of time to realize that I'm kind of stuck in the "smart" box too. I love makeup and clothes, and when popular people dress up, it normal, but if I dress up, I'm "trying too hard". I think every smart person has these problems, we feel like the weight of the whole world plus the weight of our own little worlds are on our shoulders, but it especially helps me to know that in adulthood, people do everything they can to try to stand out instead of blend in. I've kind of decided that I don't care what other people say this year and i know I will be better off in adulthood financially for my endless dedication to grades than the popular girls who only care about boys and brands 👀
9 likesVery interesting. This is apparently much more common than I thought. I assure you, the universe is better off without anyone killing themselves. Thank you for staying strong, good luck keeping it up!
4 likesKatie SJG I've wanted to put how i feel into words, but this seems like exactly how I feel. I'm "the weird smart girl" and I wish I could just blend in better with everyone else. I feel like an adult in a child's body. I hear everyone complaining about stupid shit, and I know in the long run, none of it matters. I hope everything is going good for you, though. I know it's wrong to be glad that someone else is going through the same stuff I am, but it feels good to relate.

that paragraph just went on a massive tangent, but anyway, musical intelligence is just as valuable as conventional intelligence, if not more. also i rEALLY WANT TO MAKE A GROUP CHAT TOO but idk if we should use twitter, sc, tumblr or what

Katie SJG, I'm the smartest girl in my class, and people don't seem to understand how intelligence is a curse. I have everything I could possibly want. I have a few great friends, outstanding grades, a perfect family, and all the teachers love me. With all this, I still feel alone and afraid, because I can understand the universe better than some adults. But my emotions overpower it all, and keep me human. It's better to be emotional than cursed with more knowledge than you can handle. I understand you.

4 likesKatie SJG Yeah, I used to be in your position kind of. I didn't wish to be stupid (what use would that be, I'll value the hard truth over the easy ignorance any fucking day) and I never thought of myself as the smartest person in the class, but I'm pretty philosophical and I used to be plagued by existentialism on a daily basis just like you. Naturally I ended up thinking about it a lot, and I figured out: you know what? It's true. Everything is pointless. One day we'll die, most of us won't leave a lasting legacy and disappear almost immediately, those of us who do will only take a little longer to be forgotten before the sun explodes and the entire human race perishes without a trace. But that doesn't matter.
8 likesIt doesn't matter because life doesn't need a point to it. The meaning of life is literally to fill what I believe is our one existence with as much happiness as possible. Have the best fucking time you can! Make the very most of the finite time you have; try to enjoy every single day, even if everything is going wrong. Make sure that when you're old and thinking back on how you spent your life you smile.

I was told I was "gifted" in first grade because I read books with 500+ pages but aged 11 my grades were just average because I developed depression and anorexia due to my perfectionism. In grade 9 I was sent to a hospital because I nearly died but hey, at least my grades were better. Since first grade and to this day (in now 12th grade) I miss class regularly because I'm sick or can't cope with the world and still I'm on top of every class (except sports). And I hated myself for it a really long time but just now I'm okay with it. Sure, I annoy people and myself with my knowledge and I'm sad because I understand the pointlessness of life but I could accomplish some things others could not and make my life a bit more meaningful, you know?

4 likesEDIT: i'm going to assume that you've realised you're wrong but are too embarrassed to admit that, hence you deleting your comment. while i'm not overjoyed by the fact you couldn't simply admit you were wrong, i'm glad you didn't continue to argue your point purely to avoid embarrassment (even though that would've actually made you seem more foolish, but the human mind is weird)
anyway, i'm leaving a copy of your comment here simply for context to avoid confusion for anyone reading this thread in the future: (quick note: this is an exact copy from the email notification i received when you replied. any typos are part of the original.)
Katie SJG I think you need to take a long hard look at yourself and the way that you think of other people. I, like you, am considered intelligent for my age and I find that philosophical thinking comes easy to me. That being said I disagree completely with your comment; how can you say that they don't get it just because they think differently than you? You are not better than your classmates because they don't have an interest in philosophy. If you were as smart as you claim to be you would understand intelligence (although it is very useful) is no where near as important kindness and compassion. A truly intelligent person would be kind and loving despite their knowledge of how meaningless life is in the grand scheme of things because they know that we are all in the same boat. Do you wish to spent your life as a recluse who thinks they are above everyone else or do you want to make a difference to others lives and enjoy the short time you have to alive.
the way i think of other people is not in a pitying way, nor disgust, nor any other emotion that would imply i think of others (or people of low/average intelligence, it was unclear in your comment) as inferior to me in any way or form. the fact you assumed that says a lot more about you than it does me (this isn't meant as an insult, but i'm not the best with words at times). Ii'm not really sure what else i can say in response to your comment. you speak to me as if i'm some snobby intellectual but the only thing you know about me is one of my innermost struggles which, lacking context, aren't as telling as people make them out to be. if you saw me at school you'd either think i'm a weirdo, memelord or nerd. not a snob or bully. i acknowledge that existence is pointless, yes, but i don't use that as an excuse to make other peoples existence less bearable just so it matches my own.
(p.s sorry if i came across as rude in any way. whenever i use big words people seem to think i'm trying to insult them or start an argument, but that's the last thing i want to do. this has been a supportive thread so far and i really want to keep it that way, and by the sounds of it so do you, now that you hopefully understand it more)
+Lizibeth 3
you're comment is quite on-the-nose, so i'll compose mine in a likewise way.
you contradicted yourself. you literally stated that if i had above average intelligence i'd know i didn't have above average intelligence. nevertheless, i acknowledge that this could be some commentary on how there are types of intelligence besides logic-based intellect.
(explanation: to my knowledge it's generally accepted that when you consider all the types of intelligence we all wind up average, so your comment would make sense as the first part would be referring to logic-based intelligence whereas the second part would be referring to overall intelligence.)
however. judging by the context given by your second sentence, i don't think that's the case. but, if it is, then you may want to rethink your lack of explanation, as many people (including myself) would interpret that as you getting off on the fact that nobody understands the deeper meaning behind your comment, making you feel of superior intellect. (oh look we've come full circle)
and, regarding your second sentence, if you must declare a trait you assume i possess is unattractive purely to insult, i feel obliged to inform you that i don't care what you think is attractive.
apologies to everyone for the double comment, but i didn't want to address the aggressive and rude comments in the same reply as the comments i simply disagree with. also, to avoid confusion, i'm going to quote the comments before my response (also in the case the same thing happens as with Not Important, which i doubt it will, but nevertheless)

"Katie SJG dont wish to be stupid, so many people wish they were smart. school gets to them and they become sucidal"
i may have chosen the wrong words- i wish i was of average intelligence, or less. i don't want school to be overwhelmingly difficult for me but i would like some kind of unavoidable level of difficulty as this would prevent me from thinking of existentialism constantly. the main thing is, even if i became suicidal, if i wasn't this smart i could easily convince myself there was a point. to be happy or make other people happy or whatever. but i know that that can't be the point, as we're only happy in certain moments because in a natural context those happiness triggers would be advantageous for survival. and the point of survival seems to be to carry on dna, but i don't know if i want kids, so does that make me pointless from an evolutionary standpoint? probably not, food gathering etc. but still, i don't see a point. and if i saw a point, that could easily stop me from going too far. this comment was kind of a mess, but i'm too tired to fix it. i may come back later and make it clearer or more concise if it makes no sense as it is.
i dunno if this will come off as hate (it's not but i relate to you and i'm trying to be harsh so you don't make mistakes i did) but just know that you don't know anything about the world. at all. like you don't know jack shit. (i'm not saying i do but i have a few years on you) and i'm not trying to insult you!!!!! i'm not trying to say you're dumb!!!! i just mean that in a few years-you'll get it. everyone will be on the same level, and you along with everyone else will realize you're not special. intelligence will soon become pretty much irrelevant. nobody will know unless you go into a field of work that requires extreme intelligence. and even then nobody will know too much unless you tell them you're super smart. you will find people who understand. the world is a shitty place in middle school/high school. but you'll graduate and see the whole big world at your fingertips-and then you'll be okay. i know you'll be okay. everything will be okay. please stay safe. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

i understand why you'd think that's a good idea, but...
once, when i was at a party (the only one i attended all year), i was sort of high off of all the hyper-ness of everyone there and i felt all nostalgic because they had a swing in their back garden and we were all singing super loud and swinging way too high, and i opened up. by that point most people had gone inside since it was cold, and it was just me and my best friend. i talked about how i'm constantly struggling with existentialism, and i think i talked about how nobody really cares or understands. she's the second top in my english class (i'm top) so she's pretty smart, and okay with philosophy. after i finished rambling, i looked at her. i'd mostly been looking at the sky while i was talking, and when i saw her face i knew i shouldn't have opened up. she looked slightly confused and pretty...judgemental. she just said "i'm gonna head back inside now" and left me alone with my thoughts.
we didn't talk for the rest of the year.
you might be right. maybe i should open up, but i can't. not after that experience. had i not been high off of the mass socialisation, i probably wouldn't have made that mistake. which is only going to further me into a shell. fun. i'll try, but i find it so hard to trust people. honestly, this comment is probably the closest i'm ever going to get.
Katie SJG I get it. I had that realization at around 12. I'm 17 now, as of a week ago. I recently had a panic attack so bad that I had to throw up with the thoughts that keep circling my head. I wish I could tell you that I got better or that people get better, but I don't know if they have. I was raised Catholic even, so you would think that death would be a picnic for me. I wish I felt like I could kill myself, that the derealization and exitential crisis that I try to put off with anxiety meds would go away and I would be stupid, and then I could imagine feeling different, but it isn't down to a religion. Honestly i have no clue if there is something out there, and i don't know if i want there to be something, because the idea of infinite life after death is just as unimaginable as the concept of nothing existing after death. Katie you seem like a really good kid, so i have to tell you, from experience, that you can't force yourself to fit in and pretend to be stupid to feel like you belong. The world is full of people like you, so don't feel like an outcast. I have only a sliver of hope left for myself right now, but I will not let it go. Don't let yourself get to that point. You genuinely remind me of my experiences in 8th grade. You can't focus on all the existential issues of the world. I've tried, and now I can't see in a world where everything hasn't already rotted away. Focus on the happiness, and what little there is, and how you can make more.

2 likesthis may come across as rude or invasive but what do you mean by "punished [your]self"? i don't care if we're in an argument, you don't need to punish yourself. all you did was assume something about me, it's fine. while you didn't handle the situation in the best way, that doesn't mean you need to self harm or anything similar. i may be overreacting, but i just want you to know that if you ever need someone to talk or rant to or anything, i'm fine with it. i'm sure everyone else here is too. if you think engaging in an argument with me is too hostile an environment, feel free to not reply. i don't mind. however, if you do want to continue in a civil argument with me, here's my point (which could also just be used as advice):
when you delete your comment, all you do is erase your mistake; it doesn't mean you admit your mistake or apologise. it's an extremely ambiguous action and often just causes more confusion than relief. i don't understand how i was "reacting badly" in my edit, and i'm sorry if i came across as rude in any way. i don't really know what you were referring to when you said "saying that stuff about me" but, again, i'm sorry if anything came across as aggressive. basically, deleting your comment doesn't count as apologising, even if that's what you meant it as. i only edited my comment to avoid the inevitable confusion that follows a comment getting deleted, not to insult you.
i feel like you're playing the victim here, but you don't seem to be in a very good place mentally, so i don't want to push you. and, to answer your question at the end, i don't want anything more from you.

4 likesSo I didn't even realise it was possible for someone to feel the same way I do.
We're the same age and we're both clever and we both know we probably won't kill ourselves even though we think about it everyday.
My situation with my friends is exactly the same - they aren't my best friends, they're just the best friends I've got. They would probably want to help, but it hurts too much to explain it to them and they wouldn't understand.
The world doesn't look any better when you know what's going on - in fact, it just looks worse. And knowing what's going on, knowing you're clever and full of potential but not actually being able to do anything with it yet is heart breaking and you kinda just want to finish being you so you can go and be a better person who knows what they're doing and can help the rest of the world.
Sometimes I wish I was stupid too, but for me it never lasts long. I hate myself but kind of know, on some level, that I have potential and I could be important and that it isn't fair to take away the good I could do with my intelligence even though I'm sure I'm a terrible person and I hate living as myself. And I feel like I can't live without my intelligence, because I'm not really anything else - it feels like clever is the only thing I am, the only thing people see, and I'm so defensive of it even through I hate it so much.
I think I've kind of gotten to the point where I live in this little permanent bubble of numbness, because I really can't be bothered to care anymore, and that makes me feels even worse because what sort of person am I if I can't even care?
So yeah. Wow. Reading what you wrote kind of made my feelings - and lack there of - hit me like a freight train. Thanks for that.
You wrote that five months ago, so I don't know if you found someone or whatever, but if you want to talk, I'm around. I can't exactly give you advice, because I'm as stuck in the present as you are, but I can sure as hell relate. I hope things get better for you. I hope they get better soon. And if you ever need a internet shoulder to cry on, my jumper is always here to soak up the tears.
Hi! I just read this whole thread of sad messages and I'm just like "Shit I gotta get out of here or I'm gonna start crying again" so I went for a cup of tea and decided to write this. I'm late for this, like I am for everything, but hey I have an opinion too. You remember me of my sister, and that made me feel very sad. I'm not saying I'm super smart, but I kind of understand what you're trying to say in this comment and damn it hurts, because I'm 14 too, and I get that it feels horrible not to be understood by the people around you, but this comment hurt me mostly because I think my sister feels or will feel just like you. My sister is 10 and she's gifted, and I love her, because she's like the best sister I could ask for and she's just like me and even though I'm 3 years older than she is we still understand each other pretty well. She has a hard time getting along with people, because she's smart and no one likes smart people when the world is so full of empty minds and dumb people. So I don't know, I just thought your comment is true, and you're right when you say no one understands, but maybe you just haven't met another like you before, and maybe some day you will. Don't sell yourself short, you are very smart, but don't forget the world is very big despite our thoughts, and there are a lot of persons out there that feel just like you. I can't promise everything will be fine soon, but it'll pass, all the pain will pass and you'll feel better, and maybe you'll stop feeling alone. Thank you for your comment btw, you made me remember I have to appreciate my sister more.

So much is expected of me from my family and classmates, and its a lot of pressure.

5 likesThe thing is, it's hard to have people expect things from you when there's a small chance it might not work out.... and if I somehow fail to meet their expectations, there's might be the
"Oh, I thought you were the smart one,"
comment, and that just hurts.
I'm lucky that that hasn't happened yet, but it's not impossible.
dude I /was/ you.
5 likesI thought I was the smartest kid in school, was designated gifted, had my first existential crisis at eight years old, used "big words" so people would know I was clever, argued over logical fallacies until I was red in the face. I had a quiet kind of superiority complex, and would do the same thing you're doing now: deny it, reshape my opinions, turn arguments back on other people. I outgrew it, and I believe you'll outgrow this too. Even if we function in completely different ways and your experience is far removed from mine, people are in a constant state of flux and you /will/ change and these ideas will change with you.
I /strongly suggest/ that you remove this person's comment from your previous one. They clearly deleted it because they no longer wanted what they wrote to be public for whatever reason. Maybe they wanted to apologize in some form, maybe they just didn't want to engage in this debate, but it doesn't really matter. For you to repost it is super disrespectful. Even under the guise of posting it for the sake of clarity, it's hurtful, and it's not fair to the person whose words you're sharing without their consent.
There are so many instances from when I was younger where I pushed an argument too far because I was stubborn and felt I had something to prove. I have so many memories of hurting people because I didn't want, or maybe didn't know how to back down, and I regret each one bitterly.
I know that all this might fall on deaf ears because I remember being fourteen and I remember feeling like no one could understand me because I was in on some big cosmic secret, but please remember these little things and use them when you need em:
- you can always be the one to stand down in a fight, and it /will/ make you feel better
- you are more than the way in which you think, as are other people
- every person you meet holds infinite possibilities; learn to appreciate them for their complexity, trusting that they will do the same for you
Good luck, be great, I love you.
PS: if you'd like to further your philosophical understanding, I recommend reading plato's allegory of the cave for some neat thoughts on perspective and the nature of knowledge
i guess i could reply to this. im not smart like the rest of you. but i used to be. all of my family had so much hope in me when i excelled in all of my classes and had so many hopes and dreams. now im also fourteen but my grades are plummeting along with those hopes and dreams. i dont understand things anymore even though i crave to understand deeper meanings. everythings confusing hard now and i am, stupid. everyone expects more from me but i dont know what to give them. im not talented and ultimately have no potential. and thats what hurts the most. its so sad to be decent at most things but have nothing to you. im not a memorable face and my teachers consider me just another student. universities wont look at me and think i deserve to study there. im lazy, im practically useless and im stupid, which is funny because i tend to over think things. overall, im basically on the opposite side of whatever spectrum im talking about than you, but we still get this song. i probably cant comprehend your pain and you probably wont get mine either, but hey, theres nothing to do right now but try.
5 likesRIE Honestly I don't think that you're giving yourself enough credit. Based on how you write I think you're pretty smart, and you don't have to be the best of the best to go to college. You're only 14, and you've got so much time left. Everything you've ever wanted to do is possible if you want it to be like that. If you don't feel like you're good at anything, put yourself out there more. I felt the exact same way you did, so I tried playing instruments, and found that to be something I really enjoy. Honestly potential has nothing to do with how intelligent you think you are, it has everything to do with how much you want something. People may tell you otherwise, but if you think about it that only means they gave up.
6 likesThe thread isn't about how smart you are and neither is the song. It's honestly all about whether you feel misunderstood and need a place to explain that. I think you get that, so you belong here as much as anyone else

4 likeslook, you're probably right. i'm probably an unattractive, arrogant, insulting and aggressive person that isn't even that smart. sure. but what you're saying is that you used to be me. did someone who used to be you give you a comment like yours? is that what caused you to stop being like that? i'd guess not.
my point is, most the time when i look at these comment i'm in the middle of a fucking depressive wave so i'd rather not be accused of having a superiority complex whenever i'm here. also, i don't use big words to seem smart. i just casually use them, because in my old school that was acceptable. i'm using them less and less because in my current school whenever i use them i'm fucking stared at.
however right you are, i don't fucking care anymore. i'm on the brink of deleting my comment because i can't take people talking to me just the way i'm complaining about in my original comment. i made this comment to get away from that.
please just stop.
i'm tired
EDIT: fuck it. i was in the middle of a depressive wave when i wrote this, but i can't be asked to write an argument against you. i've tried it twice, but i'm too emotionally worn down. mostly from things outside this thread, but don't get me wrong, this thread has worn me down a lot; from now on i'm just ignoring comments that tell me i'm:
-arrogant
-unattractive
-have a superiority complex
-being dramatic
-look down on "average people"

2 likesKatie SJG hey. I know I'm not good at giving advice but I want to tell you to keep trying. You are smart and more importantly wise and that's a blessing and a curse. I won't claim to know your brain but I see how you're feeling. But keep trying to make friends who understand; you will find someone I promise. I hope this helped :)
2 likesdear,

2 likeswell everyone a few family members and two close friends i've talked to about it has been entirely oblivious and unable to understand it, and if i was able to make them understand, they were entirely unaffected by the realisation. so, i don't think everyone does. hell, even my mum simply DENIES that life is pointless. just says "but the point is to be happy!11!1!!" even though happiness only exists to encourage us to perform actions that keep us alive to reproduce.

1 likegood to know?
look, i said at the beginning i didn't want to sound nice, and it seems you have a problem with that attitude.
i don't care.
Katie SJG it might not seem like, but I have the exact same problem...
2 likesOkay I can't say I know exactly what your going through because I'm not that smart. I'm the smartest in my English and everyone expects me to be good but I'm pretty sure I've just failed my exams. And i'm not a popular girl so i know why you wpumd want to ve one but i would rather feel confident about my exams then about when the next party is. I'm 16 and I use to have existential crisis all the time, then it was scared of death recently it has been the meaning to life. An awnser that may never come because it's different depending on you. To some,like me films and TV shows is something I love to watch because of the way it can bring people together and the emotions it can bring. So think of me a crappy Yoda. It's better to be smart now and be able to do what you want with your life later than be smart in 10 years when you think if you had only paid attention in class rather. Plus party's are over rated.
2 likesI understand what you feel relating to the topic of existentialism. I always compare myself in size to the rest of the world and the rest of the universe and that makes me feel so small and insignificant at times and it makes my entire life seem as if its nothing compared to all of the time and space that has and will exist. It really harshly effects my motivation and drive to do anything.
2 likesAnother thing that I expeience is that sometimes, I will look at myself in the mirror and find it weird that I look human and ill have to touch everything around me to try to reassure myself its real and I get a feeling that I'm outside of my body. It comes from almost reaizing im real and being completely overwhlemed by the idea of just existing in this world that I'm so unertain about. I dont know so much about the basic facts of life, like whether I'm real or not, whether any of the world arounf me exists either and just so much shit that I don't have the time to delve into.
Theres a reason that the phrase "ignorance is bliss" exists. Because its easier to be unaware of this type of shit, youre right about how painful it is. I'm just trying to show you that there are others like me that share these issues because the last thing I want is for anyone to feel alone about anything, especially this.
I havent become suicidal over this specific topic as you have, but I know what it's like to be in a dark place like that due to other reasons that I won't touch on right now. I just wanted to share with you a thought or idea that helps me with this. If things really are pointless then the minuscule things that happen day to day that can upset us so much dont matter. If nothing matters then I'll just try to have a good life before I die and thats the best i can do. If nothing matters then the best I can do is try to make myself and others happy. If nothing matters who cares if I fuck up a schoo presentation, or embarrass myself for whatever reason. If nothing matters I can try my best to make good decisions on chosing what matters to me, act on those things important in my life, and eventually die.
I'm a freshman and I don't want to be stomped on because people act like I'm dumb. Then I show them my grades and scores and they look so surprised. Half know that I'm really smart and the other half think I'm dim. I just with I were a different person.

1 likeI've just been reading through this thread and wow. I don't usually chip in to these sorts of things, but it felt more important for me to this time. If I could travel back in time by a year and show myself this thread, I would break down in tears, because that's mostly how I felt. I've always been quite social, so have friends to talk to, and I did back then, but it doesn't always help, sometimes it just seems like an even worse idea to tell people. Personally, I hate it when people completely change their attitude towards me in this sort of context, I didn't want anyone to feel as though they had to be careful around me. During my darkest hours, I struggled, and I lived a year engulfed in sadness, though somehow none of my grades suffered. I guess I've always been "smart", and now I'm 15. I'm expected to get top grades in all of my GCSEs, and have even taken an extra one which I'm also supposed to get top grades in. I'm heavily involved in the music and art sides of my school, as well as out of school. Whenever there is an educational opportunity I'm asked to go, even for the lessons that I don't take. The reason that I wanted to comment on this, is that it does get better. It's strange for me to think back, and know that a year ago a genuine smile was a near impossibility, because now, I am content, even happy. I too am always secluded as the "smart one" in conversations and I'm fully aware that they aren't wrong, but despite that, my social life has always been awesome. Something I've also come to terms with is that being clever is never a burden, even though it sometimes may seem like it. I've always been aware of the fact that in the end we all die anyway, and I had a week where I was very existential, but now a days I just shrug my shoulders when confronted with that issue. Often I'll try and reason out why, how I'm okay now and why I really wasn't before, but there isn't a definite answer. Despite this, I can give suggestions as to what might help: One of the things that I tried to do was start a new hobby, you don't have to be the intellectual type for this at all. Also pushing yourself out there, join clubs, meet people, go to concerts, keeping myself occupied seemed to help it all fade. Reading can help, a good book will give proper immersion and something to really look forward to. Theses are just a few suggestions, and they at not help anyone at all, but they did help me. Even if no one reads this, I hope it is known that everyone has bad times, I seemed to have a bad year after all, but honestly, I'm better and wiser for it. Just try to be nice. Don't give anyone a reason to leave you out other than that you are smart, and even then, offer kindly to help those who are struggling. I guess I'm done now, so I wish everyone luck and all those who struggle all the happiness for the future :)
3 likesThis used to be me and I ended up not going outside for years I missed so much school and now I'm dumb as fuck. My intelligence was extremely important to me and now I feel completely worthless. All I want is to die but my brother already killed himself so now I can't and I don't know what to do. Planning my suicide was comforting and kind of made me feel like I could go on for just a little more then I could die. Now I just feel so stuck and it's a horrible feeling
2 likesGod that was the most relatable thing thing I've ever heard
2 likesKatie SJG that might be the most honest and relatable thing I've ever read. I know how you feel babes. xx
2 likesyou, don't know how much this actually made me cry. I feel, the same way. this is why we are here. you can't imagine how much this reflects me in real life. i'm "annoying, irritable". so much that people sometimes avoid me or just don't treat me, in a good way, or nice, at least. i wish i was able to be popular, handle all that talk. be strong. be amazing. not be a nerd, an "agreeable person" as i would put it. i have many "best friends like that", but at least i have two real friends i can depend on. although they aren't always there, they make sure i don't harm myself. i'm still burning my way through, but as dodie said, i will make it out alive & i wont regret it.
1 likethis section touches me. it's, so, parallel to my life at the moment, & i feel like i'm gonna get through this. I honestly hope you make it through, or that you already did.

1 likeyou go! i understand how people believe things are so easy for us we can skip a grade, but, quoting you, "we do more worrying about grades than the average person because we are held to such a high standard." the kids in my class expect me to some wizard or something along those lines & i feel that if i let them down, or fail to demonstrate what i can do, i just get crushed by all the pressure, alongside the pressure my parents give me, expecting me to keep my grades at 90's & 100's(which i rarely get). i just collapse under all the weight. most nights i just spend my time laying in my bed thinking, "what would happen if i gave up?" i still haven't gotten with anybody, but i will soon get to that part, or something around that topic.
1 liketrust me, we can all relate, & knowing someone else is going through the same shit is comforting, because you know you aren't alone, & that you will get through that. we are here for you.

1 likei wan't to cry. this comment reflects not only me, i realised, but all of us, & i noticed how much your comment explained life. i don't know why i feel pressured to be the best, or why i have to live up to everyone's expectations, but i care, & i feel like i'm failing them, in a way. & that comment,
1 like"Oh, I thought you were the smart one,"
, it does hurt. it hurts like hell. it has happened to me a few times, & i just wanna curl up & just not exist. it hurts. sadly, being a phisolophical, but emotional kid, it just hurts that much more. i don't make sense. & occasionally, i believe no one would understand me, not because i believe i'm better than everyone, no, i think everyone is better than me, but because if i tried to explain, i worry i would just implode, & the words would spill out of me like a geyser or volcano. they wouldn't understand the giant rambling mess i would be. i just hope i come out alive.
you're not stupid, so don't let anyone else let you down. i'm not saying this in a cliche way, but you have potential. be strong. you will one day find yourself to be "smart", as society labels it. almost perfect grades. impecable trophies or whatever shit you get. being smart means to be able to do things the best way, knowing what's right & what's wrong. being able to understand, to some degree. that's what i percieve you, & everyone else is/are. try, try your best, but don't exhaust yourself. go, be strong, you'll get through, not only one, but every night.
1 likeyes, i agree!
1 likethat was a long (but wholehearted) ramble. love all of you! <3
1 likeidk, i kind of developed it, although it is still a bit (flawed?).
1 likeexactly! they're being (AURGHHHH, i forgot the word, oh, i remember) optimimistic, & these people always look at the brightest side of things. i'm not saying they're inferior or that they are lesser than us, but they haven't passed through what you are passing, they don't know, because they can't or won't understand. maybe they don't want to. don't blame it on them or yourself.
1 likethis sounds mean, with all the "hates", but it also sounds (a little bit, like a little, little bit) nice, since you said, & i quote, "I hate that you wish you were stupid." i just don't know. i also don't understand why this person is here, since this is a dodie viseo, but i understand where they are coming from.
1 likedon't wish that, be you, take that element of of surprise, & don't show off, but show them you CAN do things, & that you are not dumb.

4 likesI relate so much. On my standardized tests, which you can't exactly prepare for, I got 99s on every logical section of the test, or cognitive ability. This is a test where you are graded against everyone in America, so a 50 is average. 1 is the worst, 99 is the best, for some reason you can't get 100. I digress. I got a 97 average over everything though because on the English part I received a 72, and history a 87.
I'm practically the laziest person I know. In what is supposed to be one of the hardest high schools in my state, with a "guarantee" of 1.5-3 hours of homework a night, I have only done homework when a 1 month+ project is due the next day. I usually do my math homework while walking to class, and my teacher gets pissed because I don't show my work because I just do it all in my head. English class I enjoy, at least the reading part, but grammar I hate, as well as diagraming sentences. I feel if you shouldn't show why a subject could be applicable in daily life, it shouldn't be required.
So, my favorite subjects are in order: philosophy, math, physics, and theology. The rest I couldn't care if they stopped teaching. When I was 12, I was a dim witted creationist. After I was Confirmed, I started questioning the whole of the bullshit that is the Bible. I called myself a Christian, but later I left that. The stuff they said just wasn't making sense, so I turned to Islam. I very quickly left that after I began to read the Quran. This all took place while I was in my late 13s. When I was 14, I was a full blown atheist, admittedly going through a bit of a phase, as it was all I talked about. But after that is where I really started getting interested in philosophy, specifically the idea of morality. "Why is murder wrong?" Was a question I asked myself a lot, but thank fuck I discovered cosmic skeptic on YouTube, because he explained it quite well in an hour long video, although it was worth it. Another thing, "what was the point of it all?" If there is no supernatural then I'm just here by a product of chance and everything is fucking pointless. And this is true. Except, what if it isn't? I've developed my own philosophical/scientific theory, but let me know if you have heard of anything similar, I want to read about it. The theory is as follows: do we have free will? If there isn't anything supernatural, then there isn't such a thing as free will. Because we are made up of atoms and energy. Say there is an all knowing being, and they know exactly how everything was 5 years ago. If they know every single molecule and energy and it's place in the universe etc, then could they predict what animals would be doing now? Could they predict humans? Do we really have choices, or is it just hormones and other elements of our body controlling us in a manner that is completely predictable with the proper knowledge? This leaves me where I am right now, 15, a nihilist, social reject, bisexual, and possibly suicidal. I'm not exactly depressed, just sometimes if I don't see a bright future, the logical side of me says, you could always end your life here. Game over. No more pain. No more suffering. No happiness either, but you won't know what you're missing.
Anyways, that's my personal experience.
Same exact situation but I don't have perfect grades because of my anxiety and lack of motivation added on with depression and minor ADD
2 likesI relate, in my gifted class my teacher would always say that it's normal to overthink. I'm pretty sure 50% of our small classroom struggles with a good amount of depression. Just know that you're not alone, there's lots of people that feel this way, and I hope that you can overcome these bad thoughts (this was just me rambling and it might not make much sense but just know that i'm rooting for you)
2 likesKatie SJG okay so there’s way too many comments here I must’ve spent at least 20 minutes reading all of them. The original comment is kinda old so sorry for joining so late to the party, hahaha. I would like to say it’s a relief to see people feel the same way I do, because literally no one gets it. I am lucky because I have helpful friends and family that always support me, but they don’t really understand, so it’s hard for me to open up because I don’t want to sound arrogant. I’m 15 and going to start my second year of high school in less than a month, and God aren’t I stressed out to go back in that class, where I will have to be alone all of the time and have no chance to maintain social relations with my classmates because they think of me as smart and boring. It’s true that grades matter very (too) much to me, but they don’t know that there’s MUCH more to me than what they see, what they assume about me just because I’m top of my class. Haven’t I wished so many times I was stupid. Haven’t I told myself intelligent and alone is better than stupid and popular. Haven’t I thought about suicide because I felt so lonely, and felt horrible about it, because it’s not fair I feel this way. Wouldn’t I like to be invited to a party, make them understand I’m not what they think I am, be respected but not excluded for what I am. Please, can we talk? You all could be the only people that can get these emotions of mine, I need to talk about it with someone. Twitter is @braverydjh. Stay strong.
2 likesIt will be alright. I promise that you will find someone who understands what is happening. From experience you WILL be able to find what you need.
3 likesWarning stupid story coming up.
I have autism or Asperger's or whatever tf you want to call it and it gave me a really good memory so I'm one of the smartest in my class. But I've always felt stupid and irrelevant and had already had an existential crisis before I was 12. Then I went to grammar school and still stayed smart but still just as anxious and depressing but everyone basically told me that because I was smart and doing well in school that I was fine even though I wanted to die but was too much of a wimp. But things got really bad a couple of years in and I couldn't cope with school work or my brain anymore and then I just had a breakdown in the middle of a physics exam. And bc I sit alone at the back no-one actually noticed as I sat at my desk silently crying and biting one hand while pulling my hair with the other and having a mental breakdown. My teacher noticed and walked me out the back exit into the store room and calmed me down. And he and the pastoral care woman helped me through and now I'm not so bad. I still feel small and insignificant and I probably always will but I feel like I can cope again. And the other day I realised that I was happy, really happy for the first time in weeks or months and I know that I'm getting better.
i couldn't relate to this comment more. i forgot there are people who feel this way and not everyone is perfect.
2 likesI was bullied badly, lost all friends, switched schools and despite having "friends" at that new. i still wanted to die. The thing is i never told anyone i wanted to die. it took months to have the guts to tell my mom. Her response? "you need help" she had this long talk with me later that day and I felt like I should have never told her, seeing how upset she was that I felt that way. Sometimes I still feel that way, and I can't say it gets 100% better but it gets bareable and just know that you are loved <3

4 likesOkay so I know this comment will get lost in the sea of other comments but I really wanted to say this song helped me because I am 100% sure I have anxiety and it feels like my soul is slowly falling away but my mam thinks I just getting a little nervous and I'll get over it. She doesn't know all the times I have cried in secret and not been able to fall asleep. The worst part is they told me to stop listening to twenty one pilots and Dodie and to try to mix it up because I'm obsessed but they don't know that is the thing that is working the most from keeping me to actually have a mental breakdown all together. They're not bad parents they just don't realise that I'm dying over here and they don't realise how bad it is. I guess what I'm trying to say is Dodie your music is the key competitor against my strife and worry right now so THANK YOU!

at the moment I've been rly sad. like everything I love I now just don't wanna do and everyone I love just seem to be pissing me off. I cry every so often and quite a few times idek why because I'm lucky I have this life and friends and a hobby I love but atm I don't want to do my hobby even though it's literally all I am and whenever I do or just think about it I think I'm about to cry I'm so confused and now I'm waffling on. but this song. this song is just so perfect in every way and Dodie is keeping me sane. she's getting me through what feels like some of the hardest day but to others they may seem like nothing.

0 likesthe way she says "I promise you" seems more genuine than any other time one of my friends have promised me something. I've never even met Dodie, but she has impacted my life in ways that I'll never be able to explain.
2 likesalso, this seems like she's talking to her younger self, telling herself, it'll get better, I promise. you're life will start to figure itself out, in the end, it will make sense. don't give up, please.
josh was so right about this, it's so captivating while being so relaxed and nonchalant. you have an amazing talent glad your team sees it too.
1 likeThis is so good and you have such a beautiful voice and the message of this is so inspiring.
1 likeI honestly needed this so much, I'm such a closed off person when it comes to my emotions and I've been feeling kinda bad recently, my anxiety has been threw the roof for no apparent reason and I've been more depressed lately, and last week was so horrible that on Friday I had about 3 anxiety attacks and about 11 pm that night I broke down crying because my week had been so horrible and I just cried for on hours on my bed listening to Dodie's music this helps me feel not insane at times like these because everyone I know isn't going through things like these so I don't really have anyone to talk to about it :(

Your music speaks to me in a way that I've never experienced, and I'm so happy that I stayed to listen. Thank you, you are so gifted and amazing and I'm so happy you are alive and making music! I'm sorry for the long comment, and I know I've said thank you a lot already, but I really am thankful. You gave me hope.

0 likesI've been off school for a few months now and been hospitalised twice during that time. I'm 15 meaning my GCSEs are in 4 months and I'm currently struggling with severe depression & anxiety. Yet your music somehow in he months I've been struggling has eased its way into my life and made living so much easier. I also play guitar, ukulele, piano & sing. But I haven't played anything in so long, expressing your feelings this way is so brilliant because it's making something so difficult into something better, Dodie with these people looking up to you, you do everything right. Honestly, your music got me through this night. I know you said you read comments but, I doubt you'd see a repressed comment of mine. You're so wonderful, we are all so lucky to have found your music.

People tell me that I'll be okay and I'll get better; I always say everything happens for a reason and that my life will get better but my best friends can see through it. they have always been able too. They changed me and made me feel better. As soon as I felt better my depression pulled me back. It's like every time I find something that makes me happy, my depression pulls me back and I want to die again. I keep imagining their reactions too someone telling them that I was dead and seriously it makes me cry, I'm tearing up writing this. Soft songs like this help me stop self harming. Like twenty one pilots goner helps me. Right at the end of goner Tyler starts to shout and that's my call for help. "And there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it" Yeah there will be, but that seems so far away. You are amazing and this song is outstanding.

I've been in a place just like your situation. You've probably heard it a hundred times, but things do get better. Depression takes a long time to heal. I just hope for your sake that you get better help than I did. I was told that I was only doing it because it was "cool" and that "all of the other kids are doing it". These were the words spoken by my own parents. I honestly hope that you get help, as I know how it feels and I know how much it hurts. I wish you all the best, and if you ever want to talk I'm always here in the comments.

3 likesTunika-Naledi I promise It will get better, i was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder last year (13) and I was miserable for a while, but soon you will learn that the word "bipolar" does not control or define you.💕
4 likes+Jilliyn Jones I don't fully understand what the disorder is. can you explain?
1 likemoonscreams that's information readily available on the internet...
3 likesI also have been diagnosed with bipolar this year but my dad has it so we saw the signs long before. Do you know whether you are more manic or depressive? Understanding which one you are is a big help. Also have seen a doctor about medication or another way to help? I understand the feeling crazy part. I was told I might have bipolar when I was 8 or so and I was in complete denial. And the stigma around mental illness makes the "crazy" feeling worse and all the while you are trying to deal with these two fighting forces internally. Something that helped me through that part was 1. thinking about how your bipolar affects you, your life, and your personality. For me I'm more manic so I get these emotional and productive highs. And without bipolar I feel I would be less creative. and 2. I try to remember that yes bipolar is a life long journey and that bipolar is apart of me but only one part. I am not bipolar and bipolar isn't me. Not giving bipolar power and control helps. I hope this helps. Stay strong. Honestly being diagnosed, even though its scary, is the best thing and even if your emotions wont always be up, the journey down the road of bipolar only goes up. let me know if there is any way to help :)
6 likesAlison Schneider I am more depressive myself which is really really difficult. I have recently been put on medication though which definitely helps. Thanks so much for the advice and kind words, it really did help. I also totally agree with you about the stigma about mental illness. It's awful but hopefully we can overcome it. Thanks for the help 💕

2 likes@angela spaghetti i read it on the internet but its all medical terms and confusing.
1 likemoonscreams that's understandable. I've grown up around it so I have experience with some of the terminology. If I remember correctly (I'm very sleepy right now sorry) bipolar disorder is a chemical imbalance. So basically you have a certain amount of chemicals in your brain which stabilize your mood and change it from happy to sad etc. as needed. But people who have bipolar their chemicals don't stabilize as much or ever which either causes terrible mood swings or to be depressed most of or all the time. It's a horrible life long journey but it's easily treatable with medication and/or therapy. Personally I feel blessed / that I have it easier because it was caught early on which is good because over the years it's get worse and can lead to other mental health issues like my dad who now basically has chronic depression. And also I'm more manic than depressive meaning I get high energy and productivity more often then depression. With my meds I get very little anxiety and only a little bit of a crash after my manic phase so it's helping. I know this is long but I hope it helps!

Miriam Gallacher i don't know but for me, it means that when you suffer from for example depression, you are "labeled" as depressed and at least for me that kinda makes me feels safer? idk it just feels that you're not alone and you are not abnormal. sorry i'm not english so it's kinda hard to explain :/

Sophia Le I know this probably doesn't mean much to you, but I'm so sorry for your loss. It must be horrible to lose someone important like that. :(

2 likesI totally get that Sophia Le, my dad did the same in November 2013 and I wish I could as well. It's so so difficult but I promise you it does start to get easier after a while.

0 likesI can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song. I also can't tell you how many times I have cried while listening to this song. This song and When make me cry in ways that I am not used to crying. Thank you for this song, Dodie. The tears I'm shedding right now are the best kind. It all does make sense for me right now, after having spent so many years lying and faking diary entries. To me, both of these songs are about depression and anxiety. When is the realization of how badly someone needs help. It's right before someone reaches out for help. secret for the mad is a while later, when that person can see through their depression and anxiety and can see themself getting better. This is a realization that always makes me cry. After a depressed period, it hits me really hard that I actually am okay. That I don't have anything to worry about because I am okay. I'm at a really big turning point in my life right now and I'm facing it without my therapist, something I was worried about being able to do. I had been seeing him for almost four years and I don't need to see him anymore. That scared the crap out of me but I knew I could do it for the exact feeling that this song encapsulates. I knew I could get through anything else that life throws with me because my therapist helped me realize I had the ability to cope with it on my own anyway, he just helped me find it. In January, I'm moving to a new school that I didn't know I could get accepted into but I did and I am actually going there. I am taking the next and most decisive step toward the rest of my life and that scares and excites me in equal parts. And it's all because of the feeling of this song that I know I can handle it. Thank you for making something as beautiful as this song. I wanna do a cover of this song, really badly. I just don't know if 1. I could make it through singing it without crying or 2. if I could do it justice because it's a really pretty song. But mostly THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! <3 Sorry for the rambling, I just needed to put this out there in case you ever read this. I love you so much and truly appreciate every single thing you do and am always going to be cheering you on!

0 likesI live my life never understanding anything. Nothing people say to me makes any sense, no matter how hard I try. I hate talking to people using my voice, as in my mind I'm constantly paranoid that I'm going to stutter or mess up or make a fool of myself. I've been trying to learn sign language (BSL) to combat this, but nobody around me understands it. I spend all of my time wishing that I could just live normally, that if I could just understand what people are saying, maybe my life would seem better. This song has spoken to me in ways that no song has before. I see it as a message of hope. That one day I may be able to lead a normal life without special treatment that I don't want. That one day I can listen to a conversation and follow it. That I can concentrate long enough to get what's going on around me. That I can stop living inside my head.

10 likesIs it to do with people who have mental ilnesses and other people who just don't understand that what is going on with them is real and not just "In their heads"? This song makes me think it's about mental illnesses like depression and anxiety - I get that I don't get it ; nobody can know what it's like to have a mental illness until they experience it
47 likeswell then, can you explain please how did you get to the idea, what were you inspired by? Because at first listening and reading the lyrics it seems like you're talking about a crazy angry man, who's not really crazy after all, he just goes through a hard phase in which he feels he's getting insane, and you just try to comfort him and show him that even if he feels alone, he really isn't and people care about him, that's why the word "mad" is so perfect to fit into describing his condition. I can relate to this so much the way I interpreted it, but I wanna know what the songwriter, AKA you meant. (And you're marvelous for replying, you're great.)
16 likesNow that you guys have replied with your views in so much detail, I may as well elaborate. While most of the lyrics fit with both aspects of mad, (crazy and angry) there are a few that only impact me personally when I'm angry, like how "It'll all make sense again." I've had a mental Illness since before I can remember, so it never really made sense in the first place. The "again" makes me feel like it is less crazy. But when I'm angry, sometimes when I cool down, I realise other views and things make sense again. Also how "100 people listen to [us] cry." As a man, I've been taught to keep everything to my self and not let emotions show too much. So I only cry in private and don't complain, not because I think other people will think less of me, but because I want to show myself that I can remain having a 'good' life, even if my home life is sh*t. As I said before, I don't want to complain, but I also want to pour my heart out at the same time. I come from a family of alcoholics on my mother's side, and my dad was raised too well and was never taught how to handle proper stress. Earlier this year, my mother's sister committed suicide and that has been a massive toll in the family and community. Of course, there have been thoughts in my head that I really wish weren't there. Nothing that I would go through with because I have faith in God, who has been a real help this year. I realise now, that I should probably stop droning on about everything. So this is where I am coming from
20 likesI definitely agree with your point of view and it just makes me see how talented Dodie is; she can create a song that can connect to people in so many different scenarios. I hope everything gets better for you :)
16 likesI think it's less about being clinically insane than just feeling like you're going insane. It could relate to mental illnesses, but I don't think it's necessarily entirely about them since they don't go away, but things in general can and will get better (even if you do have mental illnesses).
9 likesEden Gallagher For me it relates also to those who are mentally ill. I was having a hard time making sense with the pain that I'm feeling and then I heard this song. For me this song gave me hope, and that even though this pain is burning me, and feel like I'm just drowning in another day, If I get through this, the world would show me that someone still cares. That the world is still a beautiful place to live in.I'm really grateful for this song! Thank you Dodie :)
7 likes+Rey Joseph yes exactly, I think it definitely still relates to mental illness and was probably inspired by it, but it's not saying your illness will go away, it's saying no matter your circumstances you can still be okay again. And I can relate to this song a lot even though I'm pretty sure I don't technically have clinical depression or anxiety
3 likesEden Gallagher yes that's definitely it. I think that this is a really beautiful song! Just keep going, someday it'll be ok. :)
2 likes+Rey Joseph yeah I agree, I'm like obsessed with this song now haha. Thanks :)
1 likeLachlan Hillard so did I
1 likequote "i get that i don't get it"
12 likesI just read through all of this and I find it strangely beautiful (not mental illness or anything like that it shouldn't be romanticized) that one simple thing such as a song can be interpreted so many ways and can give hope in so many situations and made so many people feel a little better despite their extremely different situations
27 likesI interpret it to be like autism. How nothing really makes sense all the time, but it's like a message of hope that maybe one day you'll be able to lead a normal life where you can actually understand things
6 likesfor me, it's about my best friend who has anorexia and depression....
4 likeswhen i hear it it feels like she's speaking to me about my depersonalisation
6 likesLachlan Hillard yea she does
4 likesaislingh b. Yep I hear you.
2 likesThe way I see it, she's talking to a depressed person as someone who's made it through to the other side of an episode (or whatever) herself. When you're depressive it's like nobody in the world cares or understands what you're going through, so the lines "I get that [I/you/they] don't get it" relate particularly to that.
2 likesWhen you can remember what the world felt like before your mind fell into the way it is during a low point, you miss it and just want to be OK but that happiness/contentment/energy/etc seems totally unreachable - so she promises that if you just get through this shit bit then the world will (eventually) make sense again.

I couldn't get out of bed for two days, two awful days I couldn't watch tv or read. I just lied there and cried and slept. I felt so incredibly empty. And the only inturption was when my phone went off (loudly) and it had this video loaded. It had been sent to be by a friend. So I watched it. It made me feel hopeful. I'm not being dramatic I'm just trying to be real, but It helped me get the strength to get out of bed on the third day. Thank you...

0 likesI’m crying right now, I wanted to kill myself less than a month ago. And now I think I’m in love and I couldn’t be happier to still be on this earth. It’s early morning and the sun’s just beginning to rise. It’s been hard; it still is. But I’ve got to do this. I’m going to do this. Because I have a future. One with a beautiful wife and a little daughter who I’d love to call Maisie. A little white cottage with giant sunflowers and the early morning sun. I’m doing it for them. If not for anyone right now; for them. Because one day I will make that future my reality. I’m not leaving now; as hard as it may be to stay. Thank you Dodie. Not only has this song made me appreciate the fact that I’m alive but all your other songs made me realise I’m in love. And maybe, just maybe, my little sunshine loves me back.
