How did they save your life?

How they saved my life was when they helped me through all my brothers surgies and his heart and lung problems without them I would've been dead for three years now because of some stupid kids that I want to kick them in the nuts and punch them in the boobs.
Tell me your story.

I really hated myself growing up because I was weird and awkward so all the kids at school made fun of me. So I figured that there had to be something wrong with me, and in order to fall asleep at night and not have nightmares, I'd have to pretend to be somebody else in order to feel safe. (I still do this) but it started when I was young and My Chemical Romance's music made me feel like it was okay to be different. That everyone who treated me like I was less than a person, was wrong and that I wasn't alone.

They saved me from becoming someone I hated. They taught me to be myself, never take anyone shit, and never let them take me alive. I dress for myself now, I act for myself, I make decisions for myself. When I felt like crap, their songs would cheer me up, or the friends I made through them could talk to me. I hate to think how I would be now without them. I don't even want to think about it.<3

When I found the three cheers cd in my mom's car and decided to listen to it, it didn't know how much it would change me. Before that moment my anxiety was so bad that I was pulled out of school to be homeschooled and I could barely get out of bed. I gave up my art, my music, everything. My Chemical Romance pushed me through my anxiety and now I preform at small town festivals and my work has been in lots of art shows and such. I know for a fact I'd still be a anxious lonely girl if I hadn't discovered them. They saved me.

When I started high school, I found myself changing to somebody I wasn't, after being bullied for a year. I stopped listening to My Chemical Romance, wearing my alternative clothes and I even grew my hair out, after having it mega short for a girl. I forced myself to listen to mainstream music and dress like everybody else and start feigning interest in things everybody else seemed to like. After a while, I realised how unhappy I was. Eventually, I listened to Dead through my old phone and realised how much I'd ruined myself. From there, I started wearing more of what I liked, and I listened to My Chemical Romance again, realising that they taught me to be myself. I even knew all the lyrics still. Once I was myself again, I started to feel depressed and my supposed OCD was bad. I turned to self harm, and eventually I wanted to kill myself. I took a step back and after many painful weeks of this, I started to take MCR into acknowledgement once again and use what they said and how they coped to save myself. I realised that they all felt like outcasts once and Gerard and Mikey came very close to the edge like I did. I just want to thank them for being there when I didn't feel like anyone else was. They had that something that touched me as a person and made me carry on and take on what life I had

I used to listen to MCR and P!ATD every day but then I stopped and got really low again and the noose broke and I told my best friend... after a few weeks or so of listening to them all the time, I started to feel alive. Life sucks but I don't want to end it yet. Not anymore.

When I was a wee lassie, my brother introduced me to MCR. When all the other girls were into Mary-Kate and Ashley, I was playfully into MCR and Rammstein. Since he is much older than me, we haven't always been able to see eye-to-eye, but he's always tried his best to put up with me (and gosh, have I been a brat! XD). I owe my entire taste in music to my wonderful brother, the Marine!
I've made at least three friends out of mutual love for MCR. These last few months were a little iffy for me, since my grandfather and my dog died, but the music really did help. I'm not sure if they've quite saved my life, per se, but I love them as if they have.
