We all know that it is truly hard to forget someone, especially when that special someone used to or still means something to us. So, in order to stop thinking or missing your ex, you should first start to set into your mind that your ex is gone. It's in the past and we can only hold onto their memories but not their physical form anymore. So to do that, we should possess acceptance. Accept and try to take small steps forward. Focus on doing other things or maybe try to learn a new hobby. Focus yourself on your dreams and passion. And by that, little do you know. You've moved on completely and the thought of him/her doesn't want to make you weep on your bathroom floor. :)

I’m not going to lie to you, you’re going to miss your ex but we have to pull it apart. It’s not your ex as a whole you’re missing but that idea of them you have in your head. For your relationship to have ended something went wrong somewhere. You’re missing the good times and overlooking the bad it’s a natural response. The best thing I can suggest for you is to focus on yourself, what can you do mentally to become a strong, empowered person? Is there any areas of your own personality / behaviour that led to the downfall of the relationship? Nows the time to work on those and get the help you need. You’ve got this.

Spend some time focusing on things that you enjoy to get your mind off of things when you’re down. When you’re feeling okay, reflect on the relationship and it’s conclusion. Take note of things that were good and bad to better understand why the relationship reached its end. Remember that you’re not alone! Reach out to others for support in this difficult time. A good listener can greatly help you feel heard and acknowledged. Many people have gone through breakups and have experience that may help. Talk to a friend or trusted family member for advice. Speak with someone on 7cups when you need someone to listen to how you feel and validate your experience. You will get through this.

There is no hard and fast rule that applies to everybody. Mostly, it just takes time. Some people like to move on to another relationship and some people don't. Some people like to go through their memories and photos and texts and some people just delete them without a second glance. Some people remain friends with their exes and some don't. It really depends on your personal experiences and relationships. Some people get over breakups really easily while other people may hold on to that feeling for the entire rest of their lives. It really is unique for every person.

Missing your ex it's the most common and normal things you can do. Because they were part of your life at some point and you share time, moments, memories, and feelings. Don't blame yourself for missing them, try to understand it's the normal reaction of the human brain. It will take a time while you get used to not have their presence with you, but something that can help is to keep your mind busy. If you used to tell a detail about your ex and they're are not there, talk about that detail with other person. Find beauty in your friends. Discover new things in you. Keep yourself focused on what you were meant for and if you don't know your purpose yet... it's a good time to find it

Try doing something with them once a week, or doing something that they like once a week. Just remember, your thoughts now, are your future. Any choice you make now will reflect on you later in life. To help yourself, you can Not hold your feelings inside, Take up journaling, Stay busy, Go out with friends, and, Focus on self-improvement. Some people simply miss having someone to spend time with. You might just be lonely and this is a natural response to a breakup as well. ... If these are some of the first things you think of when thinking of your breakup, then you may be missing companionship as opposed to your ex specifically.

This a really tough to do I pined over my Ex for almost a year and it wasn't healthy but a few things I learnt might help. Don't reach out to them, it's painful for the both of you Don't look at their social media and block them, not out of hate but for your own protection. Find a passion, hobby or work on yourself, for example take up a course, find a new game or volunteer. Prioritise your wellbeing and know that you're worthy, beautiful and deserving of love. You just haven't met that person who sees your value. Good luck friend

it is a progress that will be difficult, but what is to be yours will be, you have to focus on yourself and become a better person to keep yourself busy, then you will see that time passes and in the meantime new people have appeared in your life, you have to stay calm, confident, venturing with friends or family can be good for you... don't be shy about asking for professional help, we are here for you. but above all you have to be distracted by keeping your head occupied... the rest turns by surprise

Firstly, you can consider asking self why would you miss your ex? What was reason for breakup? If there was a legit reason for breakup (violence, abuse), then try to think about this legit reason for breakup whenever you start to miss your ex. If there was no legit reason for breakup but just your wish to get someone else, can you try to reconciliate with them and to be more careful in future as many times getting into another relationship just because this new person is so "sweet" can give us a lot of disappointments and regrets later in your life. Try not to experiment and try to be with the person you have already. If you miss your ex because they died, let's give yourself time to mourn. Mourning is tough and lenghty process.

I think it is not something you can really control. Missing someone is normal, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a friend, someone who has passed away... at the end of the day we are all connected and other people truly influence us. If you have been talking to someone for weeks, months, years... how aren't you going to miss them now that you don't talk anymore? It's completely normal and honestly I think that there's nothing to do, someday you will stop missing them, or missing them less because other events will happen in your life, you will meet new people, you will fall in love again, and it is ok, and you will miss them some days, some hours, in some moments of your life, but it's normal, there are phases we all have to go through during a break up and missing someone is one of the toughest, but it is necessary to learn more about yourself and to go through it. I hope it gets better soon, lots of love
