I've just been curious about how My Chem saved someone's life. It doesn't have to be about like a suicide story, it could just be in any way you think My Chem saved your life. |
| Danae Always Born a Crime  Age: - Gender: - Posts: 5046 | Well...It wasn't JUST My Chemical Romance..... but it ended that way..... When I first moved to ND (see profile for more info) I was so depressed.... I felt like I had nothing to live for....nothing to look forward to.... then Green Day came along and gave me hope.... I was obsessed with them and still am to this day...(I Think My Chemical Romance is taking over now though). Anyway, that's how it went for about 2 and a half years...Then, one day,I was feeling REALLY REALLY depressed...(I mean worse than usual) I went and watched Teenagers by My Chemical Romance...well...I kinda stumbled upon it...They were on my friends list on myspace becasue I have always liked them...and I just decided to go visit their profile....and I just happened to have the volume on on my computer (I usually have it muted)....I have though My Chemical Romance was good ever since my sister bought the first album when I was like...7 or 8, but I never really went out of my way for music back then...anyway...I went to their profile and Teenagers was on...I was like "What is this?" and at that moment I knew this was the start of something..then (pretty abruptly) I became obsessed with them...and now they are the only thing that can make me happy...when I feel like my whole world is falling apart...they give me strength to pull it back together.... |
| Rexperience Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 32 Gender: Male Posts: 1052 | I should first say that I totally respect people when they say they were saved by MCR.... But I wouldn't say they saved me....I'd say they definatly changed me in alot of ways. For my entire life I've listened old muisc. I pretty much grew up on Beatles and stuff like that. For the past few years I've become border line obsessed with the Blues essecially Cream, and the God amongst men, Jimi Hendrix. If you told me six months ago, I would be sitting here, a fan of MCR, I'd have said your crazy. I respect all music, but I pretty much steer clear from anything contemporary. And now here I am, a proclaimed member of the MCRmy and lovin every minute of it! Somethin bout they're message and they're story I just love. Gerards voice is so emotional, I get lost in they're music the same way I get lost in a Hendrix guitar solo. I don't know how they do it, but they articulate teenage agnst so well its unbelievable. All in all, MCR helps me out, when nothing else seams to work. ~ Rex |
| rukan Killjoy  Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 98 | I've posted before that I've been suffering from an eating disorder for about four years. Well, on November 25, 2006, my best friend killed himself, and it was right after the album came out. That was also the peak of my eating disorder, and I was just really at a low time in my life, and ready to just give up. And thats when I got SERIOUSLY into MCR. I'd always been a fan, but not a serious fan till then. They pulled me out of that rut, and I can honestly say that without MCR, I would have died from eating disorder complications, or killed myself. |
| vengeance university Shotgun Sinner  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 9867 | They saved me from doing a lot of stupid shit. I wouldn't be who I am right now without them. I mean, I still have some internal problems, but I'm dealing with them. People want me to change and my parents nag me to get out of this 'phase', but it's not a phase. MCR have really helped me accept me for who I am and not take anyone's shit. I owe them a lot and I wish I could thank them for saving me from myself. |
| chainsaws cascading. In The Murder Scene  Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 22924 | i deffinitely think they saved me in ways. i was never to the point where i was going to kill myself. But i've always kind of been very depressed. About 3 months ago I decided that if I liked teenagers WTTBP and famous last words so much i'd probably like their other stuff just as much. its been progressing and I now love every single song by them. I'm still really depressed at times but i'm still here and I'm positive things would be much worse if i never found them. so yea. they saved me. |
| nissar_ In The Murder Scene  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 22331 | I've been listening to them since 2004 and I haven't had the most happiest life and listening to them over the years would make me happier about myself and kept me living another day but over the last few years I've been really depressed and the issues at my home life and in Feb. I was going to decide to end it all and for some odd reason my sterio had a alarm clock that when the alarm is on it turns on my radio and I had my iPod hooked up to it and Famous Last Words was playing and when I kept hearing I'm not afraid to keep on living. I'm not afraid to walk this earth alone I just ended up crying my eyes out and remembered how much they say to stay alive and killing yourself is bullshit and its worth to live your life and it saved me from doing a really dumb thing that one night and since then I love them more than ever and I don't know how I could ever repay them for what they've done to help me with all the stuff that has gone through my life. |

| maxim bemis. Crash Queen  Age: 28 Gender: Female Posts: 31527 | I think they more so saved me from myself... I wasnt going to commit suicide or anything. But last year everything was really looking down, and I felt like shit. I would always be crying about something that'd happened, and I was really quiet. Then I heard ''I Dont Love You'' at KFC one night [weird, yes], and could just instantly relate to that song; as I was going through... relationship complications. I listened to them briefly for a few months, until it came to my birthday. My dear friend had bought me TBP, and I still clutch onto it like a teddy to this very day. I listened to the album on repeat for countless days, and about a month or two afterwards I began a really serious fan. Latley alot of shit has been dumped on my shoulders again, like issues with my parents and school, and I dont think I'd ever be able to deal with it, if these five excellent men werent here. And they just have the ability to make me smile, too. They are some of the funniest people on this earth. I can also relate to them, too. Like when I feel like Im going to give up, all I have to do is read a few quotes from them, and Im smiling like the sun. |
| savannah's gone. Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 1792 | I wouldnt go as far as saying they saved me, but they changed me in alot of ways. I was pretty upset in late 2006 cause i was gonna lose some of the best friends Ive ever had in my whole life. Then I heard WTTBP. That changed it all. i just instantly related with them due to the fact that it just sounded so different to everything else which was out around that time. When my dad bought the album, and I first heard Cancer, I was amazed they hadnt drifted off and joined the generic bands of that time period. They were just so different to everybody, like I was, and they still are, which is why I feel I owe so much to them. Thanks to MCR, I'm happier than I ever was before. |
| tattooed lovers. Motor Baby  Age: 28 Gender: Female Posts: 863 | I guess they saved my life... they pulled me out of a depression. I was severely depressed. We moved to Minnesota, I was used to New Hampshire, I lived there my whole life. My father used to call me names, say he hated me, threatened to hit me. He had amnesia (probably spelled it wrong) from an accident he was in, and gotten meaner. I thought no one loved me. I was alone, I thought. My grandpa died. My dog got diagnosed with cancer, and put down, and he was my only friend. (mind you, this is the same year, and I was about 11? 12? dunno..) I had low self-esteem, hated myself, etc. Then my dad killed himself in Janurary. I felt guilty for hating him, for not preventing it... in February, I heard WTTBP, and loved it. I checked out the band, read quotes, and could relate. Carry on, carry on.. I checked out all songs, I check out their past. It amazed me, they got through SO much! If they could do it, I could too. When I got LOTMS, I took Gerard's advice, and told my mom I was depressed. Now I go to therapy, and am much happier. I'm also much more outgoing, am gaining confidence, and etc. ...it actually sounds stupid when you think about it... =/ |
| apocalypse suite. Jazz Hands Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 280 | My Chemical Romance truly & directly saved my life. There is a story that goes along with that, but I don't think I need to go into detail. There were two years of my life when things began to spiral out of control, and I felt that the best thing for myself and my family was to end my life. There was an ironic, fateful moment, when I happened to hear Gerard say the right thing at the right time on LOTMS, and it started me on my way to feeling right again. I knew it wouldn't be an instant fix or a miracle cure for all the things I hated about myself, but I knew it was a start. And I had hope, which was something I'd been missing for a long time. And in time, that hope was strong enough for me to help myself get better. I never would have seen how incredible my life would become if MCR hadn't been a part of my life. |
| jared leto. Awake and Unafraid  Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 12568 | They saved me from a deep depression. Listening to their music makes me feel like im not alone, and makes me want to live |
| kulta. Really Not Okay  Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 708 | Last year and this year have been the worst years of my life, I can safely say that. Last year I copped abuse almost non-stop from people at school, it was three years after my grandfather's death, and it was my first year at high school. I was so close to giving up. I'd loved MCR prior to this, but they pulled me out of it, if you will. Like, they told me not to give up, to keep going and never let them win. Then there's this year. The week of my grandfather's anniversary, I found messages on a girl from school's Bebo page spreading rumors, accusing me of things I'd never do... just overall fucking mean messages. I nearly vomited when I found them, and I was at my grandma's house for the week. I had talked to a friend on MSN to try and breathe it out, I told my grandma who phoned my parents and overall comforted me. But I was still feeling ill. I got off MSN, my grandma went and called my uncle who had called her before I'd found the messages, I said I was okay. But I wasn't, I was in a terrible state, especially to think that my so-called 'friends' had accused me of attempting suicide. They were there, on my PC. They were my only outlet. They got it all out, they told me to give them the middle finger and tell them to fuck off. Also this year, around March-April, I had a brief time where I took up self-harm. Some nights I'd be unable to sleep unless I cut. Then, I kinda realized what I was doing to myself, that I was going to end up doing something even stupider. They're the reason I stopped cutting; they were, and still are, like my therapy, my outlet. |
| my?mindless?romance? Thinking Happy Thoughts  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 456 | i was suicidal... then i found out about mcr. its like, when i thought no one in the world actually cared about me, there was gerard and frank and bob and ray and mikey, five amazing guys that i totally look up to, saying that suicide was NOT good and they didnt want me or anyone else, to die because of suicide. mcr means so much to me. |

| McrIsNOTaDEATHCULT Killjoy Age: - Gender: - Posts: 4 | from the time i was 91/2 until i was 16 i was physically and emotionally abused by my now ex stepfather. I descovered mcr when i was 14, they became my escape from the abuse.. When my step dad was finally removed August 28th 2004, I started really listening to MCR more and more and fell so in love with them, they gave me a sense of home. When i was 16 though, i started battling severe depression. I started thinking about Suicide every single day First thought waking up, Last thought before falling asleep. Sometimes i would pray that in the morning i just wouldn't wake up....MCR became my addiction, they were the one thing in my life that i could turn to to feel OK again. I started listening to them in the morning on the way to school, up until the start of my first class. I would sneak to the bathroom inbetween classes and listen to 1 song then run to my next class, i'd skip lunch, sit in the bathroom and listen to MCR, listen to them from the second the final bell rang until i went to sleep at night. I was addicted and still am, just not as bad now. I would seriously have an anxiety attack if i couldn't listen to them for a long period of time. I would literally start to cry, i'd get antsy and nervous, and stuff until i could go listen to them... They got me through the darkest days of my depression, and they continue to keep me sane...I always know if i'm feeling depressed, i can turn to their music to feel ok again.. |

| jay! Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 1273 | I'm suffering with a bit of depression right now (I don't like to call it that since I haven't been diagnosed, but that the closest thing I can come up with) and whenever I listen to My Chemical Romance they make me feel stronger, like I can get over what I'm going through and keep on living. I know I'd be dead if I didn't have them to listen to. (: |
