Why do I wake up thinking about my ex?

Your ex has probably been a part of your life for a long time. When this suddenly change, it is not unusual still thinking and/or missing this person. It takes time before you're used to the change. Please, do not rush this and let your heart heal with time.

Honestly, it's so difficult not waking up and thinking of your ex when you're freshly out of a relationship. Even if it's been months, sometimes even years, you'll still wake up and wonder how they're doing, or even what (or who) they're doing. Don't be hard on yourself for still caring. You shared an intimate bond with that person for an extended amount of time, that part of them still lingers with you; and that's okay. You're grieving over your relationship ending with said person, and it just takes time to move on. So allow yourself to wake up and think about them occasionally, but don't dwell on them. Dwell on more important events going on in your life or people that will help you move forward in a healthy manner.

A break up takes a long time to heal. For some people it only takes weeks, but for others... it can even takes years.

When you invest a lot of emotional time with someone it is natural to think of them. You will always miss the good times.

You obviously will still think about someone who was a big part of your life and it takes time to adapt to them not being in your life anymore but you will think about them less in time and one day will wake up not thinking of them at ll

Your ex was a part of your life. Thoughts and memories of any once significant person will always be apart of your subconscious memories and will sometimes surface to your mind.

Maybe you still miss them, or maybe you miss the memories that you two used to have. It's really normal, talking or writing down your feelings can help you process how you feel.

Was there anything left unsaid which you feel needed to be aloud? You may miss the company of having someone there and the change may just take some getting used to. Ask yourself; are you happy with the parting of you and your ex? Hope this has helped.

The heart wants what the heart wants. Every person is different when it comes to dealing with breakups. Your ex could have left a serious impact on your life and it makes it difficult to go even a day without thinking of them.

When you become comfortable and accustom to being with someone, letting go leaves this mark in your mind, Things you use to do you don't, feelings you had feel weird and remembering all that were the two of you leaves a scar you wake up with in the morning.
