This Song Describes What Antidepressants Feel Like | Ren & Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines Reaction

I’ve been on antidepressants for around two decades… and this song still destroyed me.
Ren & Chinchilla’s “Chalk Outlines” is one of the most honest, heartbreaking, and beautiful things I’ve ever heard.
In this reaction, I'm not just analyzing Ren & Chinchilla's 'Chalk Outlines' - I'm experiencing it through the lens of 20 years on antidepressants. You'll see me recognize the emotions, understand them intellectually, but struggle to access them fully. This is the reality of managing mental health with medication.

I thought I was numb. Turns out I was just a floating chalk outline.

00:00 – Cold open (you’ll feel it instantly)
00:18 – Intro + welcome Renegades!
02:15– First “wow” moment
03:48 – I open up about my own depression & postnatal struggles
11:00 – Discovering Chinchilla is on this (!!)
12:20 – This lovely duet section and harmonies
17:32 – The a cappella part that ended me
18:30 – Final thoughts + please ask for help if you need it

If you’re struggling, you are not alone. There is ZERO shame in reaching out.
