Always Keep Fighting:

Anti-Depression Playlist

About Me

      My name is Betsy. I have dealt with mental illness all my life, diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, O.C.D., and general anxiety disorder. I am a mother to two awesome children, whom I fight my demons for daily.

About the Playlist

     In March of 2015 Jared Padelecki, who plays the character Sam on the television show Supernatural, started the Always Keep Fighting campaign to raise money and awareness for mental illness and it's consequences. This campaign started a movement and people began starting groups, it was in one of these groups that I found the most amazing and supportive people I have ever known.

    Even before the campaign I had wanted to start an all positive playlist because when you search "depression" on Spotify, all the playlists have very sad songs on them. Listening to sad music does help some people get through their bad times, but not me, so I figured there must be others who need positive music too, but believed my inner demons when they told me no one would care about any playlist I made. The wonderful people I now call my family encouraged me to do it anyway.

     I am constantly adding new songs and looking for more by different artists and in different genres so that there will be something for everyone who might look through this list.

     I am so happy to know that this playlist helps people, and if you ever feel alone, just remember I added all these songs after listening to them, and looking over the lyrics. This playlist is for you.
