That is really tough. It's never easy to move on from someone you loved at first. But if you keep yourself busy and find hobbies that will make you not think of him again. You will find yourself not missing him or her anymore eventually. 7 cups actually helped me with the process of forgetting and missing someone. I am glad I found this site as I felt I have no one to talk about what I am feeling before I found 7 cups. Eventually, I tried being a listener to keep me more busy and it does helped me a lot.

These are some possible ways to either avoid or to totally forget about him/her. No.1) Learn to move on. In the sense always be mentally prepared before getting into a relationship that somethings don't last forever. No.2) Talk to a family member or a trusted adult. If not comfortable enough to talk about what happenned between the 2 of you you can talk about something else. All I want to say is that, don't spend time alone. No.3) Plan campaining or sleepover with friends. You can play games talk a lot. No.4) Learn something new. You can practice some math problems and riddles and puzzles. No.5) Play with an animal. If you have a pet then spend your time with him. If you don't then you can either buy a new one or play with, your friends.

Letting go of someone you care about is quite challenging, in my experience. The best way I think to stop missing your ex is to start focusing on your own personal growth. If you have a specific friend you like to hang out with, then try doing that. Anything that allows you to focus on something other than your ex is a good thing. You may have to start out small and work your way up, but in time you will start to miss them a little less at a time. Eventually they will become a memory and you can make new memories.

Break-ups are hard. The aftermath is even harder. You can't just stop feeling what you're feeling, even it's difficult to bare. Negative or unwanted emotions have an important role in teaching us who we are. They cling to us like velcro and are just as loud when you try to get them off.
Getting to the root of clingy emotions, missing an ex in this case, is no easy task. First you need to want to. And to find out, asking yourself these questions might help:
What does this emotion/state do for me? Does it feel safe, familiar? Am I used to it? Am I afraid to let go? What would my life look like without feeling this way? You might get surprising answers, but I won't spoil it for you. I'm just here to listen. So, reach out to someone you trust and don't hesitate to contact a mental health professional if it gets too hard.

At the beginning is hard but probably by trying to keep yourself busy, like socialising with friends, spend some time with your family, doing some sport and travel around. This will help you to not been thinking about you ex. However, if that person comes to your head try to think the facts that made you relationship to finish and what went bad so you can see why that relationship has ended and why you need to get over that person and carry on with your life. After a while, you will realise that you are not even thinking of your ex.

it is difficult to move on from someone that you care about. It doesnt matter how long you've been with someone- the connection you have can be intense. or strong and feelings still linger after a break-up. The more you focus on you, the less you will focus on the past. Do things that you look forward to, do things that make you happy and you find joy in. Over time, things will be easier and one day, you will wake up and realize you haven't thought about the ex in a while. When that day comes, you acknowledge and continue to live life as you have.

Because the emotions surrounding breakup can be very raw as they happened unexpectedly it can be incredibly difficult to detach from that person you spent your time with regardless of how long or short the relationship was or especially if this was your first romantic relationship. You can find happiness and satisfaction with other things in life - please know this! You can focus your time on hobbies like knitting, drawing, singing, etc. It's also a good idea to surround yourself with people who love and care about you and who you return those feelings for. Giving yourself something else to think about will help you move on without doing anything you might regret. You could also talk to someone close to you like a friend you trust about their experiences with breakups and see if they have any suggestions that would be more personalized to you! If feeling uncomfortable disclosing your thoughts and feelings about your ex with friends there are listeners or online therapists you can communicate with on our site who have personally experienced breakups, relationship stress or have specialized in these areas. I can understand that communicating about a subject so heartbreaking for you can elicit the fear of being judged but sharing experiences can help you develop that inner acceptance of yourself. Relate is an example of a relationship organization to look out for on any support with what your experiencing. To be in a place where you are satisfied without your ex being a part of your life takes time, reassurance and self-compassion!

we all have these struggles, and it's about missing your ex. we are all human and as cliche as this sounds, time heals all. i think the most difficult part about an ex is replaying your memories with them over and over again. even if the relationship was mostly negative, our brain is wired to remember more of the positive memories when someone is out of our lives. i will say, you will be hurting for a bit and you will be in pain. but the best thing you can do for yourself is to work on you, focus on you, and focus on activities that can turn you into a better person.

By learning to love myself, fully and wholly. Accepting my mistakes, acknowledging my strengths and weaknesses.
Spending time on my personal goals, self-development. Doing the things I love. Focusing on my career goals working on becoming the best version of myself. You will miss you ex, and it will take time to perhaps, eventually stop thinking about them and missing them. If you do feel emotional, do not try to avoid it, or try to discard it. It is best to feel the emotion at the present time, and let it pass. Burying feelings or avoiding them can lead to more complex emotional and mental health issues , that may prevent you from making peace with things.

I think that in order to stop missing you ex, you should start by accepting that feeling a bit of sadness and anger is normal. So stop beating yourself up for having emotions. Don't fall into power games such as "he's winning the break up." Then, write in a piece of paper all of the things that you are gaining by being separated from him or her. Realize that you might be idealizing the past relationship. Don't feel bad for having to tell the stories about what you miss about him/her, but either make sure that you are telling them to a very good friend, but its also better to come here talk to a virtual listener on 7cups.
