This show saved my life.
I am 27.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and adopted our son together. They are now both 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I found myself lost and miserable. I was self destructive. I got so mad one day from everything spiraling out of my control that I punched some concrete in a moment of overwhelming emotion. That caused me to break my 5th metacarpal in my right hand... my working hand... the hand that I held and carried my children to bed with... The hand I desperately needed to make sure I could continue to provide.
After learning of the severity of my self-inflicted damage, I was borderline suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man with no history of depression or anxiety. I have never had fits of rage, or been one to break down and cry, but I was in a low spot that just really buried me from being able to see the light on the other side.
Having nothing better to do, I searched for a show I could watch while I recovered. I somehow stumbled upon this show and read some of the reviews. I decided that it had to be worth a shot... I must admit, I didn't finish the show, or watch nearly as long as some of you. In fact, I may have only watched this show a day or two.. With that being said, after doing so, I had a new found joy and hope for life. I was able to put behind me the pain and suffering that had been cast over me. I was able to see the fruits of my "labor". I relaxed for 5 minutes to this music long enough to realize that I was going to be okay.
After coming to that realization, I turned the show off, and I went back to work. It hurt my hand like hell but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself, and I became the father I needed to be in that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving as.
