Anna Clendening - bad again [Official Lyric Video]

i remember listening to "to my parents" in high school before I ever got my anxiety/depression diagnosis. i felt worthless and unlovable yet thought it was just me being lazy and unproductive. Getting a diagnosis and starting therapy and medication was a life saving decision, but it wasn't a magical cure. i wish I didn't relate to this song, I wish mental illness didn't exist, but it's so healing to know I'm not alone and to be able hear my experience put into words.

I don't know whether to dance because it's so catchy, or cry because it hits so close to home.

Hits different when you suffer from depression 😢

This is so relatable to my anxiety. “It’s getting bad again, fuck.” It likes realizing ur anxiety is here again. Realizing ur picking at the skin around ur nails and picking the chapped skin on ur lips hits so hard in these lyrics. 🥲

I’ve literally never heard anything more relatable 😢

"I'm watching my life from the passenger side of a train wreck. Someone cut the brakes and I don't even brace for the impact" Fuck.. that's so damn accurate 😭😭

I listened to your music so much when I was younger expecially in middle school and early high school and after seeing you on my fyp this is a great song to be reintroduced with. Your song are always so relatable and come at just the right time.❤

Lyrics: I'm sleeping too much and somehow not enough at the same time The shower's my enemy, I've been avoiding the front lines, yeah I justify self-medicating by saying it's just this time But one turned to two, and then three, now I see that they're warning signs Slowly slipping, start to spiral Caught myself in self-denial Guess I can't keep lying to my brain It's getting bad again (fuck) I know myself and, no, I can't pretend It's getting bad again I'm watching my life from the passenger side of the train-wreck Someone cut the brakes, but I don't even brace for the impact, yeah I've been hit too many times to count Wasting my energy, emptied my bank account All for the sake of trying to change something that won't go away Slowly slipping, start to spiral Caught myself in self-denial Guess I can't keep lying to my brain It's getting bad again (fuck) I hate this feeling, God, how I wish it would end I know myself and, no, I can't pretend It's not too much feel like giving up on this (like giving up) It's getting bad Hold my breath, I'm going under Try to fight this, I don't wanna Feel like sinking any longer It's getting bad (it's getting bad again) Hold my breath, I'm going under Try to fight this, I don't wanna Feel like sinking any longer It's getting bad again I know myself and, no, I can't pretend I hate this feeling, God, how I wish it would end I know myself and, no, I can't pretend It's getting bad again
