He cycled through alcohol, marijuana, and, finally, opioids to try to get to the point of feeling normal and okay, even relying on a fan who worked at Walgreenâs to score him the pills he wanted. Finally, a stint in rehab and a return of self-confidence got him back on track.
Our colleagues at APM's Hilarious World of Depression interviewed Tweedy at Wilco's Loft in Chicago. The Current's videographer Nate Ryan accompanied them on the trip and filmed this video.

I just finished Jeff's book; he delves deeper into everything mentioned here. A great read and a seemingly-genuine, likable human. Oh, he knows how to write songs too.

Heavy. He's very brave for sharing all of this and being so vulnerable. It does make me look closer at my own mental health issues, which has been a bit difficult, I'll be honest. Because here's someone who is exposing depression and anxiety, and calling out the light on to it, and it raises it to the surface. For myself. Ugh. But, thank you.

Jeff, About 17 years ago you and your work became the most respected bone in the area of my body in which depends on music, writing and musical direction to sustain a viable worth living way of life to me.lol Arrangements of words put into the form of a song that are so life felt and said with a special music to carry them along in order to find the ears of the regular Joe or Linda is a gift that only a few of people still living can do. Jeff Im 65, I do some writing and jam in a loud crazy band. My peeps in Fayetteville Ga. consider me to be the word guy with tunes to go along but Jeff, you are my #1 go to guy that shapes my stuff into something that always sparks a 'lets play it again' response. Dont you dare stop shining for me as Johnny Cash did and does. I dont mean to sound silly or girly as I tell you that you are now the holder of Johneys place , however you also grew from his creations and added new fortune to be found. PS, I sometimes have to prepare the newbys for the directional out take style that you do in most songs so that they too will say,,yea,yea thats cool. You got me to doing it ,,somewhat !!! Peace Jeff

I posted this because it's the most right on and truthful expression of depression I have heard so far.

Thank You for the maturity and lack of pretense presented in this interview. A serious condition that millions of people suffer from daily. Plus, "Kudos" on the title of this clip! Made my day. Keep on keeping on Jeff, your art is uniquely American, like listening to a friend who understands my view on life.

Killer, authentic, honest interview with real questions...if depression, anxiety and/or addiction has touched your life or anyone you love or care about, please watch this. 'Dual diagnosis' is a big thing to ponder here. Also...where he says 'Being sad isn't the worst thing a person can suffer from' and "you can't 'choose' to stay or be in one emotion all the time" is brilliantly spoken...
It also doesn't hurt that I absolutely adore this spiritual being for so many real reasons aside from his musical talent. He is a truth seeking troubadour who croons from, often painful realityâ¤that has helped me understand, not only who and what I am and how I feel through his heartfelt music and words, but also those I love. He is a rare gentle gift to us all.
Since I never knew what the hell I was/am doing with my sons...I have actually parented my 2 boys with some ideas he's presented throughout the years in hopes that their path will be less arduous due to their creative tender souls than mine is..His candor is his greatest gift....
Thank you Mr. Tweedy. You are my creative inspiritation in so many meaningful ways...I enjoyed our 1 song we sang together...you are my muse...

So sorry to hear about his bad experience in therapy. I have been clean and sober for 23 years and just recently graduated from SLU with my BSSW. I understand from my experience and education that trauma i.e., the migraines or possible toxic stress from living in the turmoil of an alcoholic family can create a "reactive" autonomic nervous system. Anywho-social workers are supposed to follow a code of ethics but there are some sick people out there in this world. This is why it is necessary to be rigorously honest within ourselves and others as alcoholic/addicts. I had a psych try to prescribe me benzo's but I knew I couldn't use an addictive substance to take care of my emotions. There are other ways to regulate the nervous system but it takes work. Yoga is amazing. If anyone is interested in the concept of "reactivity" there is a book by Bessel Van Der Kolk M.D. "The Body Keeps The Score" which is a game changer.

"you've got something" love that moment. I appreciate Jeff's honesty & transparency here- great interview.

I really appreciate you speaking out about this. As a musician who suffers from bi-polar 2 disorder, I've felt the need to address it in the music I write and it's been a helpful catharsis.
