Barely Alive by Vulse

november - december of 2019. the worst period of my life. everything that could've went wrong in a two month period, did. from issues with relationships and family, to friends being incarcerated, my cat's death, financial issues, and the stressful burden of mental illness, i felt trapped and like there was no way out. a culmination of problems as well as my own inability to cope with mental illness, i snapped and attempted to end my own life the day after my 25th birthday, and i narrowly survived. after, i was placed in a ward. it's over a year later, and some days i feel like i made some progress, and some days i feel like i'm in the same place i used to be. this isn't my sob story, or some "poor me" rant; the reason i'm typing such a personal, dark event in my life, is because at that time i wrote my thoughts into a journal. between my time being inpatient and now, i took those writings, and made songs out of them. this is the result of that - these tracks are a picture of those events. i hope you can find some kind of catharsis from these if you feel this is relatable, and that you can find help as well if needed.

this is barely alive.

edit: the reason the digital price is set that high is because i HIGHLY encourage you to buy a tape if you like the album. 1: i wanna get rid of the remaining copies 2: i want you, the listener, if you should want to spend money on this, to really get your money's worth. when all physical copies are gone, it will be set to "name your price," with no minimum.

edit 2: now on spotify and other stream services - https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/marcyvulse/barely-alive

edit 3: all tapes sold out!! Thank you so much, everyone! As promised, digital download is now set to Name Your Price with no minimum!
