MCR didn't exactly save my life, they just helped me through a really really hard time in my life.
But ohman. That's one long ******** story.
I'll cut it short...
A friend's mom slipped into a coma.
It was horrible, because she was pretty much my second mom. She was a great and wonderful woman.
My friend, her dad and I got each other through that time, and when they weren't there, MCR helped me.
Then later, her mom still in a coma, her dad overdosed on cocaine and died. He was pretty much my second dad, so it was harder than with her mom, as there was still a chance she could live.
Later her mom died.
My friend slipped into depression, deep depression.
She didn't eat, barely drank, stayed in bed all day, didn't speak a word to anyone, and I was suspecting she smoked, too.
I had to look after her as no one else would. I had to skip school to do so, and I was nearly expelled because I skipped so many times.
At the end of each day, I was really exhausted and wondered why I kept her going, why I myself kept going, why I didn't just crawl under the covers with her and stay there.
That's when MCR (and Aiden) came into play.
Also my close friends on Gaia, but that's another story.
At the same time I was caring for her, my parents started to barely be around. That meant it was me, my nearly-90 year old oma, and my brothers most nights. Me in charge.
One night, my oma had a heart attack.
My brothers weren't any help, standing there, panicking, crying.
So basically I had to do it all, even though I was also panicking and such.
Stressful stressful.
My "friends" were giving me a hard time too.
But MCR pulled me through.
All in all, I had the worst beginning of the year ever. It was hell.
There's a whole lot more, but...I won't get into that...

In all honesty, Aiden saved my life more than MCR did, though they helped a good deal too.

last year, i started failing one of my classes. being a smart kid, grades are really important to me so when that happened, i really hated myself. thoughts of suicide were in my mind. at that time, the only band i would listen to would be MCR, so listening to them would keep me sane. eventually my grade got back up and i was all happy, thanks to MCR. yay.

I had to have this operation last summer...well let's just say it wasn't pretty and I was in a lot of physical pain. I would go days without sleeping or eating and I would have these pain spasms and I was totally hyped up on painkillers.
I seriously felt like I was going to die and at times I wanted to, but during those times I put on Bullets, especially Best Day Ever, and it really helped calm me down.
I wouldn't say they saved my life, per say, but they really helped me get through it.

Recently, my boyfriend of a year, Johnny. Committed suicide.
Sunday night, to be exact. All of my online friends have been helping me through this.
Along with the loverly My Chemical Romance, along with numerous other bands that have entered my ears.
So therefore, without them, I would be more depressed, then I already am.
And probably would have done the same that dear Johnny-boy did.

i was having problems with my parents, school, the works. i wasnt exactly they greatest 7th grader around either (i had liked mcr since 4th grade loonnnggg story*)i picked up smoking and started drinking. its kinda weird how your 12 and think youre all grown up and s**t. i got depressed and went on prozac. being depressed isnt fun. i didnt take my pills for like a week and hit an all time low. i wouldnt come out of the house. even for school. i remember lying on my floor wiht a razor in my right hand. i was staring up at my mcr poster on my closet door. i stood up and put in my copy of "i brought you my bullets...." so i sat there. just listening to mcr, moping. contemplating suicide. then skylines and turnstyles came on. when i heard gerard sing "youre not in this alone" i shot out of my trance and listened intently. thats the song that made me relize that its not worth ending my life. i dont know why it was that exact song but yet it was. i love mcr and always will. theyre are truley the band that saved me.

it was more of my homicial phase that was threatning for me then a sucidal phase. It lasted for about a year or two. The worst part of it was last year when i plan out, on paper (threw it a way by now smile ), To get a gun, and i was gonna shoot up my school. i wasnt thinking about what would happen to me i was only thinking about the ppl that needed to die. really the song that got me thinking more about it was Skylines and turnstilles, it was more of the story behind it, the ppl who did 9/11 were murders, do i wanna be like that. random yes, but hey, i didnt even finish nagotiantions for the gun.

I don't know about saved my life... Saved my sanity definately. Hah, this might get a little long, don't have to read it if you don't want to.
Okay, so for a very long time I had this attitude of everything was my fault. If someone was picking on me or I was feeling down about something, I always figured that I either should be able to a) Ignore it or b) Take action to change the situation and make it better for myself. Doesn't sound bad right? Sounds like a lot of what self help books say right? Right! Except I take things to an extreme. If I felt bad and I couldn't change the situation or ignore it, I'd still feel like it was my fault and on top of that would feel bad that I wasn't strong enough to change the situation. I never blamed or got mad at anybody else, even if they were being complete dipshits. This, coupled with an unrealistic desire to make everybody like me, eventually caused me to become severely depressed and paranoid during around the middle of the school year before last. (It diddn't help that it was my first year in high school, which I'm told is always stressfull.) What eventually saved me was a trip to a reallyawesome summer camp that cured me of the 'I need to make everybody like me' thing (different story, not going to tell here,) and MCR. It diddn't happen right away, but I found that after I had been listening to them for a few weeks, I was suddenly able to get angry at people, and I diddn't feel like things were all my fault as much. I'm not entirely sure why, maybe it was just I had never listened to any particularly agressive music before so I hadn't thought of getting angry at others instead of myself, maybe the lyrics inspired some subconcious part of my brain to stop taking s**t from people, but whatever happened I'm certain it was MCR that did it. Today I'm happier and healthier and saving on car insurance with Geico. cool
Kay, I'm done now. xp

Well. In honesty. They really didn't save me. They will though.
If my grandma, God Forbid, ever dies, they will. Because I can relate to Helena.

They have saved my life more than once.
This doesn't come with stories I'd like to share.
(I hate talking about personal/emotional things)
So, unless it's a problem, I'd perfer to leave it at that.

Well, I started liking them, got really into them..
And then I got addicted to some pills.
Not long after that, I started getting depressed, thought about suicide a lot. THEN, as if it was a gift from the good lord Geesus himself(itsortawashahaha) Life on the Murder Scene came out.
Gerard is like.. the most awesome man.. ever.. and Katmandu was stupid enough to drop him because he didn't want to get married and have a baby yet. Geesh.
They really inspired me to hold on and stuff, and it soudns weird, but it's true, and so ******** you, they saved my life.
