Songs to Survive

I keep hearing songs that stand out to me.  Ones I can relate to and ones that identify in some way with the break of of a relationship, particularly one where the other person controls.  So if you feel the need….

- I Don’t Wanna Know – Sheryl Crow

- I’ll Be Waiting – Adele

- Torn – Natalie Imbruglia (This had me in tears….  I have not heard this song for a long time and it makes sense to me)

- Addicted – Kelly Clarkson

- Worried About – Lissie

- Walking Wounded – Everything But The Girl

- Read All About it Pt III – Emelie Sande (The last one is a cover but the words are really clear on this version and Emilie has a beautiful voice.  It is worth a listen)

Any other songs you hear, let me know!  We could build up a good resource library here of songs and books.  Either way, we can help one another which I think is exactly what we need to do.  


Any kind of support to get me through this break up is essential.  I have typically been bad at asking for help in the past but this time I have lined up a small group of people I trust completely to help me though this.  I have a couple of people who will kick my arse, a couple who I can sob on, a couple who will give me ‘therapy’ when I need it and a friend who lives in Australia which is perfect.  As often those moments when I am in a terrible place are at 2am.  The time difference is an enormous help when I want to make a tearful phone call.
