Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Our roots won't split through hit or miss
We gonna break through the pressure
Find a way back to center
We've seen it all, bring it on

Our scars, and bruises,
don't mean we're losing
We're not afraid to start over
Every try gets us closer
We try again, and again

…Eyes are locked in
…We got a vision

Steady as we go
Steady as we go
Through all the trouble now, all the unknown
Our patience is power, the rest, we let go
Steady as we go

The fiercest love is driving us
The world we're building is sacred
We'll give more than we're taking
We forgive, we believe

…Eyes are locked in
…We got a vision
….Sweat turns to glistening

Steady as we go, (through all the trouble and all the unknown)
Steady as we go, (my patience is power, the rest we let go)
Through all the trouble now, all the unknown
My patience is power, the rest we let go

Oh, child I know, it can feel like nobody's listening, everybody's too tired
But you gotta know, you uplifted me
And you're laying me a new fire
Every step of the way, no matter what it takes
I'll be by your side, one step at a time
…
Steady as we go, (through all the trouble and all the unknown)
Steady as we go, (our patience is power, the rest we let go)
Through all the trouble now, all the unknown
Our patience is power
Steady as we go

We all have mental health because we have brains and minds to take care of, but the way we do that looks different for each of us. Whether we’re living with a diagnosis, navigating challenges, or learning to prioritize our mental health alongside our physical health, the ways we cope with stress and manage our emotions are personal and varied, shaped by our experiences, resources, and the support systems we rely on.

What does mental health mean to you? How do you care for your own mental health? And if you live with a mental health condition, what feels most important to consider as you move through treatment, self-care, or connecting with community resources?

Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
…
Feels like I'm waking from the dead
And everyone's been waitin' on me
'Least now I'll never have to wonder
…
I thought that we could brave it all
I never thought that what would take me out
Was hiding down below

Lost the battle, win the war
I'm bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
Starting over or head back in
There's a time and a place to die, but this ain't it
…
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
….
Wish I could find a crystal ball
For the days I feel completely worthless
You know I'd use it all for good
I would not take it for granted
Instead I have some memories...
…
At the least, they will remind me not to make the same mistakes again

Lost the battle, win the war
I'm bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
We're starting over or head back in
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it
…
There's a time and a place to die
There's a time and a place to die
..,
And this ain't it, this ain't it
This ain't it
…

Take the power back, baby
…
No sense chasing what you could've been
Let these battles make a champion

Say hello like it's the first time that you met
You're so beautiful, I won't leave you again

I'm finally seeing who I am
I feel the power coming back
I hold my heart in my own hands
I feel the power coming back…

No matter your features
We're all the same tender loving creatures
Taking steps upon the earth
Don't need anyone to tell you what you're worth

Say hello like it's the first time that you met
You're so beautiful…

…I'm finally seeing who I am…
…I feel the power coming back…
…I hold my heart in my own hands…
…I feel the power coming back
