18th September, 2010 - Posted by health news - No Comments

Are you saying “he dumped me. How will I ever survive and mend my broken heart?”. The comfort you seek may not be in this article but it may be in what is listed here. Just remember you are not a broken person and you are not the only one.

When you have just been dumped you instantly have two fears. One fear is that the pain will never ever go away and you can’t go on. No one will ever love you again is the second fear.

While the pain is real and the fear is certainly real, have heart. You must realize that this fear exists only in your head not in the real world. While it’s only one part of your life that is over, it feels like your whole life has ended.

You are going to be having many different emotions during this time. I’ve compiled a list of songs and movies to help you through the break up.

Here are some perfect songs to cry to and wallow in self-pity:

You Keep Me Hangin On – The Supremes
What Goes Around…Comes Around – Justin Timberlake
Un-break My Heart – Toni Braxton
Somebody Kill Me – Adam Sandler
Here Without You – Three Doors Down
With or Without You – U2
My Happy Ending – Avril Lavigne
Precious Things – Tori Amos
Nothing Compares 2 U – Sinead O’Connor
You Were Meant for Me – Jewel

But if you are at the stage where you are ready for some great break up songs promoting some girl power, check these out:

I will Survive – Aretha Franklin
Shut Up – Black Eyed Peas
Since U Been Gone – Kelly Clarkson
It’s My Life – No Doubt
You Oughta Know – Alanis Morrisette
Survivor – Destiny’s Child
Irreplaceable – Beyonce
Before He Cheats – Carrie Underwood
These Boots Are Made For Walking – Nancy Sinatra
There You Go – PINK!

If the songs are not enough, then sit down and watch these movies with some of your closest friends.

1. Swingers
2. The War of The Roses
3. Wedding Singer
4. Rushmore
5. High Fidelity
6. Casablanca
7. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
8. Dancer in the Dark
9. Better Off Dead
10. Closer

Each of these movies and songs portrays a different aspect of the breakup cycle. You don’t want to go through this alone, since some aspects are easier then others. Don’t push your friends away during this time, in fact let them share their stories, it’s difficult to find someone who hasn’t been hurt. If we realize we are not alone is sometimes enough to get us through our misery.

As you begin to live again, you’ll see that the sadness and misery you felt right after he dumped you is beginning to fade away. And, those fears you had, you’ll find that they are totally unfounded. Your soul mate is out there and the truth is you will find him.

You now have a chance to find someone who will love you for who you are, your ex did you a favor by breaking up with you. And, always remember, the best revenge when “he dumped me” is to move on and mend your broken heart!
