In the depths of my despair, when the darkness threatened to consume me, I found a lifeline in an unexpected place: a song. It was "Save My Life" by OneRepublic, and it became the soundtrack to my journey of recovery from trauma and mental illness.

I had always loved music, but it was during my darkest days that I discovered its true power. When I was struggling with depression and anxiety, music became my refuge. It could soothe my pain, calm my racing thoughts, and give me a sense of hope.

One day, I was listening to "Save My Life" when the lyrics hit me like a bolt of lightning. The song spoke to my pain, my fears, and my desperation. It was as if the band had written it just for me.

I'm so lost, I don't know where I am
I'm so scared, I don't know who I am
But I know You can save me
Oh, save my life

These lyrics resonated with me on a profound level. I felt like a lost and frightened child, desperate for someone to save me. And in that moment, I realized that I could be that someone for myself.

The song became my anthem. I listened to it every day, sometimes multiple times a day. It gave me strength when I felt weak, and hope when I felt hopeless. It reminded me that I was not alone, that others had been through what I was going through, and that I could overcome it too.

As I listened to the song over and over again, I began to internalize its message. I started to believe that I could save myself. I started to take steps to heal my trauma and manage my mental illness.

I went to therapy, joined a support group, and started practicing self-care. It wasn't easy, but I was determined to get better. And with the help of "Save My Life," I did.

Today, I am in a much better place. I am still healing, but I am no longer lost or afraid. I am grateful for the day I discovered "Save My Life." It saved my life in more ways than one.

If you are struggling with trauma or mental illness, I encourage you to find your own lifeline. It may be a song, a book, a movie, a person, or anything else that gives you hope and strength.

Remember, you are not alone. There are people who care about you and want to help you. And you have the strength to save yourself.

I'm not giving up
I'm not giving in
I'm gonna keep fighting
'Til the end
