How do I stop missing my ex?

Unfortunately, there is no button that you can push it. You need to work with yourself. You need to see clear of what you want, of what you need, of what you deserve. Focus on you and love yourself. Spend your time with things that you like to do. There are a lot of things which can do alone or with your friends. Find a reason to wake up in the mornings and do what you really enjoy to do. I know that at first, it may be difficult and you have to push yourself, but after a few days, you start to use it and you really enjoy it. Nothing stays forever. Create new positive thoughts and you will see that you will not have space for something negative in your life.

Remind yourself of why the relationship had to come to an end. Surround yourself with a positive group of friends and a genius support team. Your support team can be the listeners here at 7 cups or you could have your own circle at school or maybe at work. Remind yourself that emotions won’t go away overnight. If you’ve loved a person, you’re not going to just stop feeling that same love for them instantly. Give it time. Distance yourself from them. Distance communication with them, distance their social media accounts so you’re not constantly checking in. Find a hobby to put that same energy into.

I would say what has worked for me is allowing myself to grieve the loss of the relationship as much as I need to for as long as I need to. Only once I've been able to truly sit with my own sadness and grief have I been able to pull myself out of the darkness and begin moving on. Sometimes it takes a lot more time than I want it to, but in the end my brain and body know what they need. At the same time, there are certain days/times when we can't be a giant ball of snot and tears, so for those days I try to distract myself with something uplifting or with self-care and remind myself "we can come back to feeling sad and grieving this loss later, when the time is right." I hope this helps!

Missing an ex takes time and mindfulness. Taking time to realize that your not the only one going through this will help you to not feel alone. Trying new things and reaching out to others going through the same thing can open opportunities that you may not have realized before. And always stay in contact with loved ones (family and friends alike) to remind you that you are loved and important. If you dont feel you have people to reach out to, there are plenty of people in the world willing to listen and help. This world isn't dark and it's full of love. Please go out there and find that love.

Focus on yourself. Try doing something new, something you've always wanted to try. Or maybe go back to doing something you did before you met them and stopped doing. Whatever you do it's important to not give up on yourself. It will be hard, and it will take time. It's okay to be sad, but if you give in to the sadness and give up on yourself, it will not get any better. Remember them, remember the good times, and even use it as motivation to find someone new, to find love again. You just have to give yourself time, and not give up on yourself, because someone else will see how amazing you are.

It takes time to stop missing an ex, you have to be very patient. It hurts a lot but over time you will heal and you will slowly stop missing them. For me, it really helps to distance myself from them as much as possible. For example I would start by removing them from social media so that I am not constantly reminded of them, and this gives me more space to move on. Also, it helps to get rid of things you own that remind you of them, like photos you have of them, or stuff they gave you. This means you're not constantly being reminded of them. But again, time is going to heal the most and although it may take a while, eventually you will stop missing them.

Don't sulk in your relationship, but also don't push it away. Spend time doing stuff you enjoy with your friends to get your mind off of your ex. By talking to people close to you you'll be reminded that you have a support system and you have people that care about you. Don't push those memories away though; think what about the relationship you liked and didn't like. That way you can grow, identify what might've gone wrong, and be more aware of it for the next relationship. Relationships are all about learning and trying new things, and so carry that through even when the relationship ends.

Well, missing a person who already has decided to end their relationship with you is not good. It is often painful to think about the past when you were happy with that person and wishing to go back to that time. People who miss their ex often blame their break up on themselves. They might think, ‘Would I be still with him/her if I didn’t do ... or say ... then?’, and this is not okay, especially when your break up was on the ex. Even if you miss your ex right now, time will heal you. You will soon get over him/her, so keep living your life!

Appreciate yourself. People miss their exes because of how they made them feel, or the value, love, or laughter they feel they added to their lives. Once someone learns to appreciate themselves on that same level, that feeling of dependence on an ex is much easier to cast off. A sense of belonging, laughter, love, all these things are never bound to one person in particular, especially to an ex. There is power in independence, in convincing yourself that you dont need the ex in order to feel a particular way. If you can achieve this, not only will you become more resilient, but it will better prepare you for future relationships and help in protecting yourself.

Missing someone that you no longer come in touch with is completely reasonable. Surviving a breakup looks impossible but after a while it becomes easier and easier. Distracting your mind by doing something creative really helps, but first, it would be really helpful if you sat down and think why did this happen and how you ended up breaking up after all. You'll start realizing that it's not the end not the end of the world. There's always hope after all! Missing someone is not something bad, you just should focus on the pleasant memories had together and now that it's over take some time for yourself and take care of you more in order to recover. It's an opportunity for you to think and to get and to realize some things out of all this experience. Remember that there's always hope and that everything happens for a reason. You're strong and you'll make it.

When a person is gone from our lives we can tend to forget things about them. Sometimes we forget the good, sometimes we forget the bad and put them on a pedestal. Everyone is human -- not a saint. Eventually you will stop missing them, but there are ways that people try to do it. Some people write down the reasons that the person is their ex, why it didn't work out, bad qualities/behaviors, etc. Some people find something to keep them busy -- a new activity, hanging out with friends, etc. Some people journal to get all of their feelings out onto paper and to help them get through and understand their emotions. Personally, I have a break up song that is upbeat which cheers me up. Mine is another one bites the dust (because another relationship has ended). The song is upbeat and makes me feel happy. Find a song that does that for you. In general though, if you were in a serious relationship it will take time but you will get through it.

Stay extremely busy, exercise, go out with your friends and take a trip if you can. Best medicine is to travel and see what else you have been missing. After all this and if you feel ready to date go out on dates and meet new people. Once you realize there are many choices out there for you your ex will fade into the background with time. REmember there is always another bus coming so get out there and get busy and have fun. If your ex comes back you will decide if you want to get back together. Give other people a chance and see the delight in variety

Start with deleting any contact of them. Their number or social media handles or whatever. Pick up a hobby. Maybe a new language like French or Spanish. Or try learning the Morse code. Try making a bullet journal. It could be anything which will force you to deviate your energy somewhere else, instead of missing them or wanting to contact them again. When you divert yourself to that activity when you miss your ex, you will see how your energy is being channeled to a better place. And it won't be long before you have learnt a new hobby and made yourself better. That way, not only will it help you get over and stop missing your ex, but it will also give you a new skill to talk about.

This is not exactly a certainty, but since the separation happened, out of your fault or the one of the partner, the only way to move on with the current situation is by giving it time. By giving it time i mean like a month of no contact. This way both are able to recover from the problems caused by the partner. If the party that is guilty for creating the problem inside the relationship is realising the problem and fixing it, after a month this can be tested with a second chance only if the problem wasn't a really big one. We all do mistakes and we all deserve a second chance. As for the eventuality that the two of you wish to fall out completely, then only time is going to stop you from loving that person. Trying to go into another relationship straight after a breakup is going to create problems too. The best way would be to try and recover on your own with friends that can listen to your ranting. If you rant about an old love to your new loved one, this will be a really big issue. I hope this helps everyone, if not then feel free to message me :)

I'll start by saying that it is more than okay to have a hard time getting over your ex or whoever you had an important connection to. You have to let yourself deal with the grief, pain, or to be constantly thinking about it without wanting to. Try to be kinder to yourself in this process, and give yourself time. It can take weeks, months, even years in some cases. Tips: - Start new hobbies - Hang out with beloved ones - Talk about it with someone - Set goals for yourself, improve - Learn new skills Time, patience and a positive energy are key. Good luck !

First stop to blame yourself for breakup. Sometimes things didn't work out and that's ok. Try to spend your time in things that makes you happy or distract you it can be watching series, movies, playing games, or even a walk on the street. And always remember you are worth it, you are enough. Stop stalking them, if you can't stop yourself then it's good to block them. Don't scroll through your old pictures. Relax yourself. Don't message them and if they send you a text rply calmly. Don't send them miss you text and how you miss being with them. Just be happy and distract yourself. Breath this shall pass.

Missing people we've had relationships with in the past can be a painful experience for anyone going through it for the first time. However, this doesn't mean that there is something wrong with us. The first step in handling missing an ex is to be accepting of these feelings. A lot of times, we put the blame of breakup on ourselves, especially when longing for the other person but simply telling yourself that you are human and you make mistakes can be a starting point. While there is little that can be done to change the past, we can use it to our advantage and learn from the mistakes we/the other person made. Shifting the focus away from self-blame and learning to forgive ourselves, can help us detach unpleasant/unresolved feelings from the breakup and eventually help us in the long run to slowly let go.

Grounding yourself with your environment, keeping yourself occupied with hobbies and interests, Heck even trying out new things and broadening my horizons has helped me previously. This has probably been said before, but time is also a factor in the healing process. Time heals most wounds, so to speak. Another thing that has also helped me was burning photos of my ex and I, one night I went through with this and the very next day I felt better, not complete but better, and you know what, that was indeed a good start to the healing process for me.

I have gone through this experience before and it is a really tough time. You have to do activities that will free up your mind and get rid of the thought of her. Hang out with your friends, meditate and do yoga, or even play sports. Use your energy that you had from loving her into fueling something that can lead to the start of your success. Think of the fact that there are other partners out there in the world that could be perfect for you. One person should not take control of your feelings. Think about the things that you benefit from as a result of not being with your ex.

Missing your ex is something I can currently relate to. I would say one of the best ways to help speed up the process of not missing them is to find something else to occupy your time, especially if you spent most of your time with them when you were together. That gap needs to be filled with something else whether it's a new hobby, a new friendship or a sport etc isn't what matters, it's whether it's something you enjoy doing. Also consider asking yourself if it's your ex you miss or the comfort of being in a relationship. I found that after a while I was actually just missing what the relationship brought rather than the person and this helped me gradually stop missing them as much. I hope this helps in some way :)

That's not a cut and dry answer. First of all, it's normal and natural to miss someone we care about - we have to be gentle with ourselves and realize that we're not bad for missing our ex - even if they hurt us. Often times we focus only on the good times - or when we were first in love - we also need to remember that there were hard times too. It helps to acknowledge this as well. One of the proven steps is working to think about the person less. This can be done through a process called thought stopping. When we think of the person, we say out loud, "Stop" and then have a list of other things we would rather think about. We actively begin to think about those things. Also, it helps to begin to get in touch with our dreams again. Those dreams that are uniquely ours and for ourselves. A very good book for break ups is called "It's called a Break-up because it's broken" it's actually a very loving book and teaches us techniques to move on and think of ourselves in empowered terms. It's written primary for women, but men can use it too. I know - I used it to help me in my last breakup. Helped a lot.

You start doing more for yourself and surrounding yourself in things that make you happy. You start working harder in achieving your goals and you use your ex as a newfound drive to improve your life. In your free time, you watch or read something totally different than anything you've seen before to immerse yourself and drown out thoughts of your ex, or you travel to someplace totally new so that you can fill yourself with new memories and cleanse out the bad ones. You earn more and you spend more, or you work more and you care for yourself even more. This is going to stress you out a lot and every little thing can remind you of your ex.. Until day by day, you start seeing everything as what they really are, and not connecting them to your ex. You start recognizing important and beautiful you are, you start realizing that some people actually care for you, you start realizing that your ex is an ex, someone who has simply helped you become a better person, nothing more than that. And before you know it, you're ready for a new adventure.. maybe you'll even find someone new on that adventure, someone who'll be with you forever.

It will definitely take some time to stop missing someone. Continue to take it one day at a time and keep yourself busy. Talk about your feelings with people you trust. It is better to talk about it than to keep it bottled up. Do something for yourself. Stay positive and be strong. Things will hopefully get better as time goes on. Everyone deals with breakups differently so don't compare yourself to other people. It might take you longer or shorter to get over this breakup, but you know yourself the best. Do what feels right to you. Take as much time as you need to get over that person.

It sounds like you might be feeling lonely, or at sea with a big change like this in your life. I would feel the same. In fact, I was divorced and can understand what you might be going through. Reaching out like you have to 7 cups is a courageous step. It shows me you are strong and able to seek solutions without fear. That is an amazing quality and shows that you are very ready to move to the next phase of your life. Can you tell me what would you say to a dear friend who asked you this question?

Time does heal all wounds but some steps I have personally done when I have recovered from relationships included journaling, time with my friends, volunteering, engaging in hobbies that I may have let go while we were dating. Additionally, pampering sessions such as a new hair style, pedicure and maybe even a piercing! Also, there is nothing like blaring some music and dancing around. In short, stay busy and do what you love! Know that it is okay if you think about them from time to time and know you will never forget them. Now is the time to put yourself back in the driver seat of your life and make yourself the priority.

It is normal for you to miss your ex. When someone who has been so close to you leaves, it hurts and it feels impossible to fill that void. When we miss someone, we often tend to go back to them but what we have to understand is that, going back to them would not solve anything for us since the reason why you feel these negative emotions is because of the relationship you were in. The relationship would have worked out if it was meant to be. Missing your ex is normal but what is important is how you react to it. First of all, remind yourself the reasons as to why you are not with your ex, then you could find other alternatives, such as going out with friends, spending time with family, binge watching your favourite series, ordering your favourite food. Soon you will be distracted and the moment would pass.

There are so many ways How you can stop missing your ex but it all comes down to what you do. First off do not contact him/her for at least 30 days, If you do contact him/her it can infer with the healing process. 2nd off Is it really him/her your missing? or do you miss the attention, the love, etc? Focus on yourself and stay busy, go for a walk, do something with family or friends, play with your pets, etc. Give it time It feels like the end of the world right now, and maybe it feels like you’ll be this miserable forever, but negative emotions just have a way of warping our sense of reality. It won’t last forever. You will come out of this. But nothing is going to happen today.

Remember that there many people out there that will treat you better and that anything that happened is all in the past. You deserve to be treated as the gem you are and if they left its their loss. always remember to take every relationship that didnt work out as a lesson, not another reason to beat yourself up about. we're all still learning to love and its okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them and grow to be a better version of yourself. take care of you and always remember that love didnt hurt you, someone that didnt know how to love you did hurt you.

Begin by recognizing that the time with them represents a special and significant portion of your life and is thus a part of your personal history. That relationship has ended and memories both good and bad will begin to fade. You need to decide how you want to remember them in a Brief but meaningful manner for quick consistent recall to try and form what will be what you think of and then quickly let go at times you are missing them. All of that is part one of my suggestion. Part two is to regroup and focus on who you are and decide where you want to go next. Did you change during that relationship? If so, was it a change that is healthy for you, do you like or respect the you you became during that relationship? If so then this shouldn’t be more than a matter of time and you just need to keep living your life to the fullest remembering that that is your primary purpose, a debt you owe yourself. If not, then use that as your initial focus or purpose and either aim to find the person you used to be and loved, or return to that pre-changed version of you and then pick back up with actively living your life for you...that primary purpose. (Note, that is not to say it needs to be about fulfilling selfish or self-focused needs, it only means that you do need to be a priority for yourself, but in living that way, it can take shape in any number of ways, like helping others, teaching others, coaching others, whatever makes you feel most alive and your best version of a human being.). Good luck.

I think it’s less a matter of how to stop missing your ex, and more a matter of being okay with missing them. You loved someone and they are no longer a part of your life. Missing them is natural. It means you cared. Acknowledge the loss and what it means to you. Allow yourself to feel what you feel and know that, no matter how overwhelming it may seem, you can handle it, even if that means taking it one minute at a time. The more you tell yourself you shouldn’t feel the loss of miss your ex, the worse it will feel; you’re adding shame on top of the hurt you’re already experiencing. There are ways to cope with the feelings of loss and desire for connection. Maybe you can find ways to connect with others, or yourself.
