These songs are for you because they serve as a reminder that you are more than enough. You are worthy. You are beautiful. You are loved. We support you and you are not alone in this battle.
1. "breathin" (by Ariana Grande)
Ariana Grande has openly communicated with her fans about her struggles with panic attacks, depression, and anxiety during her Sweetener tour. This song motivates you to stop, slow down, and remember to breathe amidst the chaos.
2. "Hold On" (by Shawn Mendes)
Shawn Mendes is another young artist who has opened up about his mental health challenges through his music. Holding onto anything when experiencing agony can feel nearly impossible, and this song reminds us that we must reach out to others to help us carry the heavy boulders in our life. There is so much life ahead of you.
3. "Details in the Fabric" (by Jason Mraz & James Morrison)
An underrated piece about depression that doesn't even try to sugarcoat the pain that comes with mental health struggles, this song reminds us that our life struggles don't make us any less worthy or beautiful. We all remain beautiful through our struggles, even if we don't see it at the moment.
4. "Got It In You" (by BANNERS)
You got it in you. You are a badass and a warrior for fighting against mental illness. Allow the words of this song to continue re-affirming you of this undeniable fact.
5. "I'll Find You" (by Lecrae & Tori Kelly)
There is absolutely no shame in asking for help. Any thoughts that tell you otherwise are completely false. Every person is someone's everything. Please reach out to a loved one and tell them how you're feeling. There will be someone who will find you in the darkness and be with you through every step of the way towards the light.
6. "Lay It All Down" (by Will Reagan & United Pursuit)
If you consider God to be a part of your life, give this a listen. Even if you don't, I encourage you to still give it a listen. It's not one of those happy-go-lucky "just pray about it" Christian songs (we all know those exist). This song is raw and genuine in addressing the agony we may be feeling and responds with pure love and radical empathy.
7. "Fear Not" (by Kristene Dimarco)
"When life piles up and you're feeling overcome, stand still and believe: I won't let you drown." These are one of the many things that your family, friends, and all the people who love you want you to know.
8. "Be OK" (by Ingrid Michaelson)
Ingrid Michaelson is being honest in her wish for the day: to feel something today and to be OK. Perhaps this is how you're feeling. Let Ingrid join you in this longing for better days (those days are ahead of you, I promise you).
9. "Never One Thing" (by May Erlewine)
The worst mistakes we have made don't define us, in the same way that our best deeds don't define us as a whole. We are not ever defined by one thing as human beings. You are a combination of thousands of things that make you the beautiful person you are today.
10. "1-800-273-8255" (by Logic, Juanes, Alessia Cara, & Khalid)
Your life matters, dear friend. You are not invisible, we see you. You have a purpose in life and you have so many wonderful things to bring to this world. We refuse to imagine a tomorrow without you in it.
