Music Monday // 008 — 15 Songs to Help you Deal with a Breakup

Being on either side of a breakup is hard, but it’s important to maintain some perspective through all of the moping and self-pitying. For instance, though my ex and I split up, I often remind myself that I’m glad we didn’t get married or buy a house during our time together.

While the circumstances of every breakup are different, many of us exhibit the same symptoms: not knowing how to cheer ourselves up, worrying that we’ll burden friends with breakup talk, and suddenly finding ourselves with a lot of free time but zero attention span.

But what you need, what you really need to get through a breakup is an anthem. You need that one song that gives you comfort to help ease the transition from in love to “I want to die.”  Whether you or a friend are dealing with the aftermath of a breakup, here’s my round up of the 15 songs for every type of split.
