How Has Metal Music Helped You Through Difficult Times?

I have always found that heavy music can express emotions that are sometimes difficult to explain with words. Many metal fans talk about how certain albums or bands helped them deal with stress, loneliness, or challenging moments in life.

I'm curious how others here feel about the connection between metal music and mental well-being. Has listening to your favorite bands helped you manage difficult emotions? Some people also choose to speak with a Clinical Psychologist when they need deeper support, but music can still play an important personal role.
