So I’m slowly rebuilding myself after (finally) getting the courage to leave and weirdly yesterday I found that playing certain songs really helped me feel less awful and more determined to ignore his messages. I’ve got
Christina - Fighter
Katy Perry - Roar
F* you - Lilly Allen
Bulletproof - La Roux
Enough cryin’ - Mary J Blige

What else do I need to get me through?

How about “Hit the road, Jack” for one that might make you smile a bit?

Good luck op Flowers

I will survive - Gloria Gaynor
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong,
and I grew strong.

Good luck

Yes - McAlmont & Butler

Parsley65 · 08/07/2019 16:21

First one that popped into my head was 'I Will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor. A classic song for instilling strength.

Good luck x
