I can't get over my ex after a year. What should I do?

You need some mental exercise. You are unable to get over with it means that you are struck with your one year old past. Life wont stop, the time you lost will never come back. All you are doing is making things worse. there are so many more people in your life who are more valuable than him/her and so keeping their though in mind, move on..:)

Focus on activities that you will like and enjoy. When focusing your energy on objects or things. You will diminish how much you think of others. same goes down to your ex. If you find it a struggle to stop thinking about him at home. maybe play some music you enjoy or start doing crosswords or art work. Find something at home you will enjoy aswell.

Being stuck on an ex is completely normal! We just have to keep in mind that they are “exs” for a reason. Not every relationship works out, and failed relationships are open doors to new, better ones. People change and grow apart from each other, it’s only human nature. You just have to grow too! When I was a little younger, I was in what I believed to be a very strong relationship, one that would last till forever. Sadly, it didn’t. And I could not for the life of me get over him! It took a lot of self control and confidence to move on, and move forward to something much better. Just keep swimming!!

In my personal experience, I seemed to have some difficulty after holidays, significant dates between myself and my previous partner, times when I was just sitting around doing nothing or if I was some place where we had been. I found new hobbies, found new places to go, went back to school, started eating healthy and going to the gym, made new friends and limited my time to where I would be "tempted" to think of that person. I blocked them on social media and deleted photos of us together. I also deleted their name from my phone book on my phone and deleted any joint accounts and changed or erased any passwords or anything that had their name on it or associated with them. It helped me immensely and one day I just realized that I hadn't even thought of them and I couldn't even remember how long it had been since I DID think of them. It made me laugh and I just went about my day. Those were the things that worked for me. Best of luck. I know it's hard.

Are these feelings about your ex, or about you? What attracted you to them? Why did you break up? How could it have gone differently? What do you want in a partner, now compare that to them. Ask yourself these questions. You are strong and brave, you know what is right for your wellbeing and mental health. But if they are happy, leave it alone. If this was a one sided relationship, let it go. Some things are meant to end to be able to learn from them and start something knew. In the end, only you know what to do. I wish you luck.

Because you're nostalgic over the past, being nostalgic is causing you to think over a time where you were happy with someone. It might not be them that you miss, it might the memories you had with them. Those memories are what you're craving more of even though the person is gone. I myself sometimes still feel sad over a friend that I was in love with whom I lost roughly two years ago. I've realized that I don't miss her, I miss all the memories and times that we shared together because she was all of my firsts.
