also fitter happier reminds me a lot of masking in public:

No longer empty and frantic
Like a cat
Tied to a stick
That's driven into
Frozen winter s**t

Plastic World by Naked Aggression

(It's nothing), it's everything
(It's nothing), it's everything
(It's nothing), it's everything

This song reflects Avoidant Personality Disorder, to me

Am I going crazy?
Would I even know?
Am I right back where I started fourteen years ago?
Wanna guess the ending? If it ever does
I swear to God that all I've ever wanted was
A little bit of everything, all of the time
A bit of everything, all of the time
Apathy's a tragedy, and boredom is a crime
I'm finished playing, and I'm staying inside
If I wake up in a house that's full of smoke
I'll panic, so call me up and tell me a joke
When I'm fully irrelevant and totally broken, damn it
Call me up and tell me a joke
Oh, s**t, you're really joking at a time like this?
Well, well, look who's inside again
Went out to look for a reason to hide again
Well, well, buddy, you found it
Now come out with your hands up
We've got you surrounded

This song is basically how my AVPD + seasonal depression manifests, but most of the time I'm not actively suicidal like the person in the song is.

"Cause in the thick of darkened days, we know
We could blame the world forever,
We could just escape together,
So are we breaking out or are we breaking down?,
We can't blame this world forever..."

This song reminds me of the lowest moments of my life. I would spend a lot of my time blaming the world for all of my problems and lack of energy during those months.

This song is basically what Avoidant Personality Disorder be like

'Cause I'm like yes and no
Wait, I don't know (kn-kn-know)
I think I'm dying
Hold up, I'm invincible (ether)
Yeah, I'm like yes (yes) and no (no)
Wait, I don't know
I'll pull you closer into me
And I'm pushing you away

Don't know if I'm feeling happy (no)
Im kinda confused, I'm not in the mood to try and fix me (uh)
Do I feel like being alone or with all of my friends?
f**k, I don't know (f**k I don't no)
If I should say or if I should go (huh)

I don't have the answers you need
'Cause I live in the in-between, ha-ha

Someone Saved My Life Tonight - Elton John


When I think of those east end lights
Muggy nights
The curtains drawn
In the little room downstairs
Prima Donna Lord, you really should have been there
Sittin like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friend's out there rolling round the basement floor

And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar Bear
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear?
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound
Hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away
High away
Bye bye

I never realized the passing hours
Of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn outplayed by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it! Listen to me good -
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time
Thank God my music's still alive

And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar Bear
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear?
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound
Hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away
High away
Bye bye

I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight

So save your strength and run the field
You play alone
And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar Bear
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear?
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound
Hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away
High away
Bye bye



This is my anthem every year on 7th June as I celebrate yet another year of freedom.
I call this my Freedom Day -- The day I was rescued from 7 years of horrific trauma.


I couldn't have done it without two very special people who intervened.
This song tells a bit of what went down.
It's uncanny actually.
It's been onward and upward ever since (OK, maybe not always ... but almost)


Sending love to everyone who has helped me survive another trip around the sun.


#FreedomDay14

I associate this one with my personality disorder.

I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift
All of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room

I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis (tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time)

[...]
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi, everybody agrees, everybody agrees

Depression




Anxiety

Love Cats - The Cure



Good in more ways than one.

Song is about the affects of abuse and may be triggering

Autism, perhaps ADHD:

I don't really know how to put in into words but the lyrics capture my experience with it. this is also my comfort song

Lyrics:⦑ Verse 1 ⦒
All day today, the same day has come
A different day from everyone
(Whether I will or not, whether I would or not wow)
It's like my time was frozen still
A girl passed by a dog's bark bow wow
The smell from that café makes me hungry
I knew all about it
(Whether I will or not, whether I would or not wow)
It's like my time was frozen still

⦑ Pre-Chorus ⦒
Not much, No Prob'
Even if the world doesn't change
I'm a cloud that don't have shapes

⦑ Chorus ⦒
My password is out of the box (Woah)
Out of the box (Woah)
Out of the box (Woah)
Out of the box

⦑ Verse 2 ⦒
Happiness issued plenty
It will soon come out all right
Thеre is the conviction (by lie), is it so
I walk this path еveryday
But somehow there is a world (out there)
Yet to be discovered

⦑ Pre-Chorus ⦒
That's right, No Prob'
Even if the world doesn't change
Like the wind, I'm everywhere

⦑ Chorus ⦒
My password is out of the box (Woah)
Out of the box (Woah)
Out of the box (Woah)
Out of the box

⦑ Bridge ⦒
I'm alive, I'm alive
It is dramatic with just that
My frozen time is
My frozen time
My frozen time
My frozen time moves again

⦑ Chorus ⦒
Box (woah)
Out of the box
Out of the box (woah)
Out of the box
Out of the box
Out of the box
(all day today, the same day has come)
Out of the box
