what artist(s) have helped you through your hard times?

[Professional Russian]

Mine would have to be Sixx: A.M. or just Nikki Sixxs lost lyrics. What are yours?

[Akasuki]

paramore has helped me through the most. i don't know where i would be without their music.

other artists would be kimya dawson, pierce the veil, la dispute, lily allen, kate nash, and a load of others.

[Elysium]

Kate Nash and Oh Land.

[Desuetude]

Papa Roach and Skillet for the most part.

[Synyster Shadows]

Black Veil Brides

[Tarannosaurus]

Arch Enemy and Otep.

[ElijahMouth]

Opeth, especially the album Damnation. It's weird because that album is very depressing, but I guess it made me feel like I wasn't alone. Plus Mikael has such a nice voice he could be singing anything and it would make me feel better.

Team me, imagine dragons, ke$ha

[Mastretta]

2NE1,Lana del rey, The weeknd, and frank ocean

[Seemyheart]

Three days grace and papa roach

[Twilly F. Sniper]

I bet most of you have not heard of him, MandoPony. If it weren't for his music, my depression would've taken over and had succeeded in killing me.

Simply, ponies.

[Syvelocin]

Emilie Autumn is the obvious one for me. I found her music right when I needed it the most (well, a couple weeks earlier would have been slightly better lol). It was literally the beginning of the school year when about two weeks prior I had just been hospitalized for the first time. I found EA five months after I started self-harming. I found her right after my bipolar diagnosis. She taught me that mental illness shouldn't be taboo. She taught me to healthily embrace mental illness as a part of me, but not who I am. She was a role model for me that experienced the self-harm, the sexual abuse, the anorexia and she just turned 34 and she's still here and thriving. That if someone doesn't like who I am, then they don't matter. That musicians can actually care about their fans like they're family. She gave me her book that detailed a mental quirk/coping mechanism that I had never seen in anyone else but myself and thought I was crazy for it. I read said book during the worst of my hospital stays. She also made me realize that I'm gay, and maybe if I didn't find out when I did, I would have missed out on falling for another amazing woman who's helped me through a ton of shit.

[Fanta_Lover44]

Hmm,. there's loads more for me but these are some of the main ones.
-Paramore
-Fall Out Boy

[DarkHorse4eva]

[Trace]

Lana Del Rey
Marina and The Diamonds

[TheRollingScone]

Don McLean, The Runaways, and The Smiths helped me the most.
Their music just hits me a different way than most of what I listen to, and it made me feel right.
