Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (2004)
I want to give a huge shout out to everyone who has supported me for this project. It has been a success thanks to you all.
I plan to continue doing covers, but this video wraps up the educational portion of my blog!
Three Cheers was by far the most important album of my childhood. It was really hard to grasp what depression was in 4th grade, but this album presented itself as a gift for understanding what it means to be “mentally ill”.
Being depressed isn’t easy by any means, and having developed it at such a young age really didn’t make it any easier. But, as I’ve grown (in body and mind), leaning coping tactics has really helped.
To be clear: I’ve never been on an anti-depressants, psychotics, or anxiety medication. Clinically diagnosed in 7th grade. Admitted into inpatient my freshman year of High School (for a week because of signs of an eating disorder). And now I’m here, but, I’m alive so there’s that.
Several techniques I keep myself sane with, that have made some difference in my life are:
As of this moment, I have two part time jobs, I go to college full time, and have an internship. While, this might not work for some people, keeping my mind occupied has helped push out most of the sadness. It’s hard to dwell on situations when there’s no time to think about them in the first place.
2. Having Some Kind of Hobby
I’ve always liked music, and it’s really kept me grounded. It doesn’t matter what the hobby is, as long as you have something to turn to when you have down time. It can be video games, playing an instrument, or walking around the neighborhood, anything to keep yourself sane.
3. At Least 2 Really Good Relationships
Whether it’s a friend, parent, sibling, online friends, or significant other, it’s really important to have at least two people who care about you infinitely. Now, I would say one, but in case something falls through with one of your close friends, you want to make sure you aren’t stranded alone. In tangent with the two close friends, make sure they aren’t from the same group, this way, if something does happen to one of the relationships, it won’t effect the other. It’s like a fail safe. You don’t want to put yourself in a position to be completely alone.
4. Find Something that Makes You Laugh
I don’t care how sick and demented it may be, just have something that, no matter what mood you may be in, makes you laugh. Personally, I’m a huge animals in predicaments fan, and funny animal videos always get an awww or a chuckle out of me. But, something as simple as a funny video could change your whole day.
Hopefully this helps some of you. Really, through this all, I just want to be able to make some type of positive impact on someone’s life. If I can help just 1 person, that means what I’ve done is a success.
Thank you for sticking by me,
