I have about a million of these, but here is one that is especially "my song". This song is totally me because I have struggled with like all of these issues. It makes me think of the huge crisis I was in that finally lead me to ask a professor for help and I started therapy for the first time. I am so glad that I was pushed far enough (finally) that I took the risk and I opened myself up to her, so she could help me with problems that had never been discussed, let alone worked through.

This song addresses things I have struggled with like my health problems, over-eating, self-injury, feeling estranged from my spiritual side, blaming everyone but myself, blaming myself for everything, etc. Alanis said that, to her, this song is a PRAYER and she wants to get down on her knees every time she sings it. I feel the same way about this song. A lot of people don't get that, but I sure do. I think a lot of people here have been there.

And here it is...
