This feels worst than anything specially if your ex was a toxic person yes we do miss toxic relationship.Now if you ask me to be honest this is going to hurt sting burn at initial time of your breakup accept the way you feel and cry out as much as you want beacuse if you numb your pain this is going to hurt you psychologically on long run and we don't want that...so you need to have patience with yourself be kind to yourself,understand it is just a phase and will pass soon you have to have some faith that you are a strong person which you are you just need to believe it.

Can you answer, how do you stop worrying? hardly any person can stop blaming themselves or thinking about something. So the question would be how to go ahead. We have emotions and those emotions help us n also decay us depending on the energy we are holding.

I think it is very important to focus on yourself. Get yourself busy - see your friends and family, try a new hobby or fitness class. set up goals for your future and think how you want your life to look like - without including your ex. Do things that makes you happy and delete anything that reminds you of him. Delete sad songs and movies, get rid of things that reminds you of the ex. Exercise is a great way to be happier because of endorphins. It's as easy as getting a walk. If you can - travel, go out and have fun!

You have more control over your mind than you think. When the negative thoughts come flooding in, just kindly ask them to leave you alone because you’re not interested in what they have to say. But really, it starts with you. After a breakup, it’s far too easy to get sucked into a whirlpool of negative thoughts, mostly about yourself. You may ruminate on the fact that you’re not good enough … that maybe he never loved you … that you’ll never find anyone as exceptionally exceptional as him. Stop all of this as soon as possible. These thoughts will only fuel your yearning for him because you think he’s the only one who can make it better. He’s not even in the picture anymore and you’re giving him full control, it’s pretty twisted when you think about it.

There isn't a concrete way to stop missing someone, exes included. We often feel disenfranchised grief when coping with the loss of a romantic relationship, which means we feel as if we shouldn't feel that grief. Rather, try focusing on growing from this breakup as an individual. What did you take away from this relationship? How can you improve upon yourself because of it? What are your support systems? Things like these will help you along the journey of coping with a breakup alongside what I find to be the most important: allowing yourself to go through the motions. It is far more beneficial to give yourself the time, space, and patience to be vulnerable and allow yourself to miss this person. You not only have lost a significant other, but a number of other associations with that person and the relationship you guys had. You may not have ended on good terms! These are all factors and in that, it could be helpful in the long run to face these emotions now rather than later in future relationships.

Keep busy, think of anything else you can do - put them in the back of your mind. Realize that life does get better and look at the bigger picture :)

Well, there is no set way to stop missing someone and/or your ex. That will happen if it's meant to happen and on your own time and pace. It's ok to miss an ex. Just allow some time for them to come off of your mind. A lot of people say that keeping busy is one way to get an ex off of your mind, but for me it never worked that way. What may work for others may not work for you. I will just give things time.

it takes time. But doing things to keep them off your mind will help. Get dressed up and go out with your pals, go for a run, whatever makes you happy :)

It's okay to think about them, don't force yourself to push them to the depths of your mind and try to forget them forcefully. Don't go out of your to think about them either though, just do you. Enjoy yourself without them, have fun with your own being and feel good in your own skin. Live life to the fullest no matter what that may be to you. Spend less time focused on what you don't have and spend time pampering yourself and doing what YOU enjoy.
