How do I stop missing my ex?

Honestly? You don't just stop missing them like that. It takes time. Especially if you've been together for so long. You need to be able to grieve that they're NOT with you anymore and try to put them behind. Change your routine, go out with friends, speak with family members. Distract yourself so you don't find your ex lingering through your mind.

Start thinking about all the good things you can do when you are without him/her. And try to not think about the person anymore, it was a good time, but things end. Move on and try to find yourself again or someone new.

Occupy your mind. Spend time doing something you love. Lean on friends/family if you can. Get rid of sentimental items, get a new wardrobe or redecorate your room. Freshen up your life and you'll soon realise you don't actually need them around to feel happiness.

Find a new hobby, something that will make you feel good and possibly connect with new people. It can be as simple as reading books and as complicated as synchronized skating. After a breakup it is okay to feel overwhelmed, and if the feeling is very persistent don't hesitate to seek out a friend, a listener on 7 Cups or even a mental health professional to aid you in your journey.

You need to distract yourself. Do things you enjoy, things that won't remind you of your ex. You are so amazing and deserve to be happy. If missing your ex is getting you down, get some friends and do something you enjoy. You control your life, not your ex.

I know you can’t help it. It’s your emotions, it’s the memories, it’s everything rolled up together. But somehow you need to find a way to move on. Hang out with friends and meet people when you go out, it doesn’t have to be a romantic connection, maybe someone you could catch a movie or grab an ice cream with. You know… a friend... GYM Everyone says physical activity is a great way to get over someone, because it’s true. If you’re feeling stressed and anxious, the best thing you can do is to sweat. This not only slowly puts you into tip-top shape, but it helps release your hormones and reduce your stress and anxiety levels. So, get that playlist ready :)

I personally found a hobby and worked on making a better version of myself. I didn't have time to miss my ex.

By working on yourself, taking daily steps towards becoming a better you and building a new life, the way you want it to be !

Remember why the relationship ended and what was unhealthy for you dring this time. If you concentrate on why you are better off now it might be easier.

I dont think you just stop missing someone. But you learn to deal with it, come to terms with what has happened and then accept it which ultimately allows you to move forward with your life slowly until it no longer feels like you "need" them. Its hard to think anyone else could take their place in the future but it happens. I believe love is a choice, it is the decision to give respect, understanding, patience, kindness and the room for them to grow without acting like you own them.
