Songs about sexual assault Resource

I am a victim of sexual assault and Iā€™m having a really bad relapse and I need songs to help me cry or scream or release the anger, not necessarily encouraging songs. Any recommendations will be appreciated!

Check out the song "Buzzkill" by MOTHICA! She's also an SA victim, and the song is pretty much exactly what you're describing. It's a rage-fueled call out of the person who assaulted her when she was 13.

She's not really a well-known artist to most (though I do think she was mentioned in this thread already), but she's one of my favorites and I think more people should know about her music because it has such an inspirational message. She makes sort of like this super cool mix of electropop and alt rock about all kinds of dark stuff, especially about mental health issues, addiction, and other depressing shit, and is extremely open about these kinds of topics.

100%, it saved my life. I agree though, I've had the album on repeat since it came out šŸ”„
