Moodswings In To Order did not disappoint. I mean I knew it wouldn’t because after all DPR never misses & DPR IAN’s music is always absolute art. Like the way he’s able to take his experiences & struggles & create songs that many people feel connected to is just incredible. A lot of his songs really spoke to me on the last album, but even more so on this album. 10/10 recommend :weary:
CW/ Mental health, mental illness
I usually don’t know how I feel about talking about this because the stigma behind it & the way I worry people will look at me differently when they find out but I feel like the stigma never goes away the more quiet me & others are. I have bipolar disorder as well as borderline personality disorder. For me it’s like my mind is constantly a big mass of emotions constantly shifting & changing without my permission. I can feel like the happiest person in the world one second & then suddenly in the next for no reason I could be extremely upset & near tears. I learned to cope & manage it better, but there is no “off switch”. I prefer to share the positive side of my thoughts more than anything & that positivity is real, but it also comes with the opposite feelings intertwined in my head. I carry the emotions, impulsive thoughts, & feelings that I don’t want to have with me 24/7. The good & bad emotions swirling around together that sometimes I have trouble telling them apart. Along with that I carry a fear of abandonment, rejection, & disappointing others that I’ve had since I was a child which that side also feels to strongly connect to this music. DPR IAN’s music just speaks to me so much. Not to be dramatic, but his creativity & vulnerability that he puts into his music has really helped me so much.
^ will probably delete this part soon but it felt nice to vent these feelings I’ve been keeping inside for awhile.

Thank you so much for sharing that with us! I’m so proud and glad that Christian’s music has been able to reach and touch a lot of people. His openness and vulnerability in his music and projects is so powerful even for people like myself who haven’t personally experienced bipolar and/or personality disorders but who still grapple with other things in life.
Also klover said it much better than I think I ever could, but I really agree with and emphasize the second part of their comment!! We’re always here for you if you ever need anything :revolving_hearts:
Definitely! His music is so powerful & it’s amazing seeing how many people he’s reached with it
🥺 :heartbeat: Thank you so much for the kind words!
I'm glad that you're able to find a song that gives you comfort and validation :heart:
And I just want to say that no matter how tangled up your thoughts may be, you're still Chessa. I'm glad that you know how to manage all your emotions better, and I want you to know that it's okay to have negative thoughts sometimes. I want you to know that people's expectations can be way too much, and that it's okay to not be perfect.
Thank you for having the courage to share :revolving_hearts: I may not good be with words, but whatever you're going through, I'll always be here for you :sparkling_heart:
