Alanis Morissette is keen to avoid another love break-up - because splits hit her too hard.

The singer admits she was devastated when her engagement to actor Ryan Reynolds ended last year and it took her months to recover.

And she fears another heartbreak like that could be fatal.

She tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper, “I was a full-blown love addict, so it was like, `I can’t keep doing this, my body can’t take it.’ Break-ups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it’s debilitating.”

But Morissette is confident her split from Reynolds was her personal rock bottom.

She adds, “I’ve been on a constant journey toward finally surrendering and hitting the rock bottom that I’ve been avoiding my whole life. So this was a huge, critical juncture for me. Everything broke, and it was an amazing and horrifying time.”

Morissette admits she poured all her heartache into her new album Flavors of Entanglement.

She explains, “I entered my own version of rehab. I went to therapy - I went to therapy five days a week, I journaled.”

Her ‘therapy’ sessions also included remodelling her Los Angeles home and designing a jewelry line.

I would too!

Alanis Morissette tells ET that working on her new album, Flavors of Entanglement, in stores tomorrow, was very therapeutic in dealing with her breakup with actor Ryan Reynolds, “I’d hit rock bottom. Everything unraveled.” One song called “Moratorium,” she says, really speaks of her realization that she was “not emotionally ready to be married.”

She reveals that she is dating someone new, but won’t say his name, “I’m gun shy about public relationships at this point… I feel great right now!”

Morissette goes on to joke that anyone entering a relationship with her must be prepared to become song material, “I write about my life. At this point if I don’t write about a guy, he’s probably insulted!”

Alanis Morissette enjoyed covering The Black Eyed Peas’ hit song My Humps - because creating the parody provided respite from her own over-emotional songwriting process.

The Ironic hitmaker caused an Internet sensation with her 2007 down-tempo version of the track and its accompanying music video, which garnered over a million views in the week after its April 2nd launch on YouTube.

And the Canadian singer insists the creation of her moody rendition was a therapeutic experience.

She says, “I was in the studio with (producer) Guy Sigsworth and he would say, ‘What horse from the apocalypse are you bringing in today, Alanis?’ Because every song was this tsunami of emotions. So I said, ‘I wish I could just write a really simple song - a song like My Humps.’ Then we had a pregnant pause, looked at each other, and said, ‘All right, let’s do it!’ Within moments we were recording the piano version of it, and within a week we were shooting the video in my garage here at my house.”

Alanis Morissette has a secret boyfriend who’s helping her get over her split from Ryan Reynolds and his engagement to Scarlett Johansson.

The singer was left heartbroken when she split from Reynolds in 2006, and he began dating Johansson just months later.

Following the announcement last month of her ex’s engagement; Morissette insists she is happy for the couple, claiming “On a certain spiritual level, I feel like everyone’s where they need to be.”

And she now confesses she didn’t completely quit men. Morissette admits, “I’m actually dating somebody. My moratorium was on commitment, not dating. I was a full-blown love addict and a co-dependent for a long time. So I took a break, and it’s been a committed passive recover for me. But there have been huge payoffs already.”
