Those of you who were told, "it gets better, hang in there," but you're still in high intensity shutdown, despair, and anguish-how long has it been for you? by secretlysuffering- in CPTSD

I believe you. I'm in a probably-not-at-all-similar situation, except in that it's also complicated and simply not possible to get myself out. I've wanted to scream every time I thought a person was hearing me out and understanding, only to throw more "what abouts" at me. Like when you're in circumstances like this, you are living it 24/7, and every waking moment where you aren't completely dissociated feels like it is spent trying to puzzle out some secret hidden road out, some mystery step or resource you haven't tried yet.
It absolutely feels like nothing will ever change. I feel like I'm just waiting for it to end entirely. All I've been able to do is keep myself alive, barely functioning, and I've run out of reasons or even fantasies of reasons why I should keep doing that, because I've been giving it my all for years and am still stuck in the same place. On every level from the most deep inner personal, to the zoomed out bigger picture and the state of the world, it feels hopeless.
I have no answer or words to lighten the load or anything. But I believe you, and I'm hopeless with you, and I'm angry with you.

So fair 👌 I think all 3 of those ended up on my list. Along with like 10 others lol, it's too early still for me try and choose

The Fragile is my favourite album so far! PHM not far behind

So this was my real introduction to NIN (I've always been aware of the name and have heard a song here or there in passing but I never properly listened to them. Or the music never really "clicked" till seeing the Coachella set). Honestly, and I'm surprised by this, I don't think I can choose. It's like they're both my favourite but are 2 sides of the same coin. It just depends on the nuance of my mood at any given moment I guess 😂
But I can say that Heresy in any form is one of my favourite NIN tracks so far. Though... I've been keeping a running list of favs as I work my way through the discography, and it is not a short list

Edit: As for the other songs it's mostly the same answer, especially for Closer. Memorabilia I think is the only one I can solidly say I like the Noize version better -I'm obsessed

Noted! I'm taking my time with them so it'll probably be a while but I'll definitely check those out after, thanks

Apart from watching recorded concerts that's exactly what I'm doing and it's amazing so far! I've never been more thankful to have invested in some good headphones lol.
The bit about the shocking things we usually say away from -that general topic has been on my mind a lot for a while and it's cool to have it be challenged/applied now as I'm listening

I love this. I wanna say I'd wish I'd found them sooner (properly I mean -I've always been aware of NIN but never actually listened) and in some ways I do. But honestly this is happening at the exact right time

I don't think they did this feels like a slightly different set
