Disturbed is the unofficial spokesmen for Mental Health and Addiction. They have grown and evolved, from their early days of being just a heavy metal band to having the courage to make Mental Health and Addiction something that shouldn't be hidden or afraid of talking about. If you are having issues, talk to someone. As David said, "you are not alone".

Came from a broken home where mental abuse ran everyday,myself autistic shut off from the world at too young of age,at fourteen got diagnosed with ptsd and depression with suicidal tendencies and was outcasted,looked on as a freak and seen as weird.
At around the same time i started listening disturbed,it was the first time hearing inside the fire that had caught me,just came from a attempt myself and lucky a friend grabbed me from the train tracks.
Now i'm twenty two,still paying for what my parents did to me,still a outcast and seen as a freak due to social norms here and still continue dealing with these issues each day but now i'm doing it for others too,people aren't sick if they have depression or are handicapped,they are just as human as the person across the street or the kid in the store.
Eventually everything comes down to us being human,we all have issues and we all have our ups and downs and that doesn't give others the right to put a person down due to who they are or what they like and nobody is going to take you that away,if times are difficult remember that there are people there for you,talk to them or give a listening ear,speak to someone who feels down or give them a hand to help because those gestures are more than you can think,sometimes those things can save lives and sometimes prevent bad things going worse.
To whoever reads this too,you are just as important as everyone else no matter how different you are,you are just as human as me and we all have our downsides as upsides,don't let it talk you down.

With my ADHD came depression. A depression that was beaten into a voice like my own. A voice that told me I'm worthless, nothing, that the greatest gift I could give my loved ones is my own death. This voice was born from the bullies that beat me on a daily basis. My only reprieve was doom 2 with God mode and a copy of the sickness my brother gave me. My favorite part about a reason to fight is that's exactly what they gave me, before they even openly offered it. If you struggle with this same vicious doppleganger, that false you that tells you your worthless, and you're coping through an addiction, please listen to draiman and seek help. I'm rooting for you. It can get better. It WILL get better. Fight!

I came from a pretty screwed up family of manipulators. Although we looked like a perfect, sound family to anyone who spoke with us, my parentsā only concern was my physical presence and academic performance. Regardless of reason, if I ever cried as a very young child (even just a little), Iād be immediately screamed at and restrained in a corner. I learned to be a very closed-off person, which after years couldnāt be maintained when I started having panic attacks at the age of 8 as a result of extreme emetophobia. Every time Iād have one (which was 1-2 times a day), my father would sit on the couch in front of me and watch. In complete silence. Heād just sit there, watching. Finally, when I stopped shaking, heād stand up and continue on with his day. In fourth grade, I turned to self-mutilation as my primary coping mechanism. Iād go progressively deeper with every cut, from a crappy pair of safety scissors to a pencil sharpener blade to a utility knife. By the age of 11 my left arm was made nearly entirely of scar tissue. Never did my parents notice, never have my parents noticed. It was also made clear to me that I was NEVER allowed to go to my friends, use helplines, or talk to a school counselor if I was struggling with anything (which of course I was). If I ever wanted to talk to somebody, my parents wanted it to be them.
Every night, Iād pretend to go to bed when in reality I was blasting music through my earbuds in the pitch black of my room. It was my only happy placeāwithout a soul knowing half of what was happening to me, I felt the lyrics of songs related to me more than any person. Among the bands I listened to during these times was Disturbed. I loved how you guys attacked rough topics head-on, and I loved your compositional work, too. It made me feel powerful, and it held me over from cutting sometimes. Even though I still live with my parents and endure a lot every day, Iāve been getting better and I wouldnāt be where I am now without you. 5 months clean.Ā
Thank you.

Whoever is reading this, know you are not alone. Even when you don't feel like you have the strength to do it, to fight, to keep fighting, to live, it's there. It may be hard to find it, but it is there. Even the smallest flicker of flame is enough. That same flicker is blinding in the darkest of places.
I've been there, the cold pitch darkness that yawns wide and threatens to swallow one whole. My flicker of flame was spite. Because I wasn't going to give up just because the world around me wanted to.

DISTURBED HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE EVER SINCE I HEARD "THE SICKNESS" ON THE RADIO IN 2001.....( YEA IM THAT OLD) THEY ARE STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND WILL BE TIL THE DAY I DIE. I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH DEPRESSION, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, PTSD SINCE I WAS ABOUT 6 YRS OLD. I WAS BULLIED AT HOME AND BULLIED IN SCHOOL. I HAD NO SAFE HAVEN. I WAS A FREAK AND I WAS ALONE. TODAY I STILL FEEL ALONE BUT I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS THAT FEEL THE WAY I DO. DISTURBED HAS HELPED ME THROUGH ALOT OF DARK TIMES AND HOPE ONE DAY I CAN MEET THEM JUST SO I CAN SHAKE THEIR HANDS AND THANK THEM PERSONALLY. I CAN DREAM...RIGHT!?

I'm in my 30's and struggling with depression, as well. Music is one of the things that really helps me and Disturbed has been my favorite since I was younger. Pretty sure half the world is struggling with some form of depression- whether it be mental or society based.
Hope everyone stays strong. Love your life anchors.
