Well that is hard to deal with because the best thing is to listen to music and not worry about them I know it may be tough but it will get better.

Try to look forward! You're so much more than a relationship. Try to focus on the future. You're great without him.

New interests and hobbies will help you focus on new things. A couple of people I know instead focused intently on their studies. Distractions, I guess, until you can finally rid your mind of her.

Seek a refreshed situation. Stay somewhere different for a week, do something you've never done before. Sometimes our brains need reminding that life is moving forward and that we cannot stay stuck in the same place.

Try thinking about the time that you 2 had problems, do you think he could change? If you do, then try to rekindle the relationship where the fears and loneliness will go away.

You may not have gotten closure. It might help to talk to your ex and get all your feelings out in the open.

The most likely reason why you cannot get over your ex is because somwhere inside you, you are still holding on to some hope or chance that he will come back. Only if you choose to consciously let go of that hope, only then can you move into the here and now., the present moment which is the only reality.

Everytime her thought comes you have two choices, think about her or stop and distract yourself to YOUR life. Focus on YOUR LIFE until you see your break up as a step toward your happiness..

Just be you. Breakups are hard. I won't lie to you. But you need to give yourself a time to grieve or as I put it a bandaid period. Some people only need a week some it will take a lifetime. Just give your heart a chance

You should try getting some type of closure not necessarily communication but self awareness to why you feel that this relationship has such a great impact on your life
