I can't stop thinking about my ex. What should I do?

Thinking about ex's is completely normal, it's part of the breakup process. One of the things that I like to do is to get a new hobby, something that doesn't remind me of them at all. Enough to distract me so that I get over them enough to begin thinking about the breakup in a more positive light, that way I can take things away from it and learn.

Sometimes trying out new hobbies can get your mind off of unnecessary things. also going for a run can help clear your head.

Try to engage in some activity, hang out with friends, focus on a good book... Anything that makes you feel better.

Try keep yourself occupied, talk to other people and enjoy life! Realise you dont need them to be happy as your life doesnt revolve around them

Try writing a diary, keep track of how you feel and get it off of your chest. If you feel comfortable, you can talk to him/her as a friend.

The most important thing to remember is that learning how to stop thinking about your ex is a habit that you CAN break. It takes energy and dedication at first, but you can stop the obsessive thoughts about the person you broke up with. Another important thing to remember when you’re trying to stop thinking about the breakup is that you’re not alone – other people have broken their addictions to their ex’s, and so can you.

He's an ex for a reason, right? It's going to hurt but always remember, when one door closes, a lots of them opens.

Personally when I couldn't stop thinking about an ex I would take it off my mind by occupying myself my friends were really good at this time!!

Write a journal with your feelings and thoughts. Or, if you're unable to do that, talk to someone about it.

Thinking about your ex isn't a bad thing , unless it's controlling your life and making you miserable. Go through the thought process of what you liked about your ex , what you didn't like, try to be as objective as possible. Reach into your feelings , go through the emotions and don't listen to other peoples opinions unless it's an extreme abusive relationship,come to terms with why he is your ex. Then forgive and move on with your own pursuit of existentialist life , the future will be much brighter than dwelling and getting upset constantly.
