Why do I wake up thinking about my ex?

When we sleep, our minds are generating ideas of what's important to us and what we spend alot of time think about. Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing it's depending on how it affects us but it is absolutley normal for us to think about something we lost as we are adjusting to no longer being in it's presence or adjusting to the emotional changes our bodies go through. The best way to deal with similar thoughts are to think of what's best for us overall and to remember that love comes in different shapes and disguised in many forms, but the first true love we must experience is the love for ourselves.

Was it recent? Ask yourself, “Do I deserve to wake up and think about somebody who is not with me?” What do you do when you wake up and have thought about your ex? What are some things that distract you from them? Have you found a hobby to put your mindset on something else? You may think about them because they had a larger impact in your life, and now that that is gone you automatically think of them, perhaps. You think of them, have you tried to discover the root of why you think of them? It may help

Well, to be honest if you are waking up thinking about your ex you probably have not fully gotten over your ex. It will take sometime for you to get your ex out of system and there is no certain time to be over someone, who you cared deeply about. Just give yourself sometime to heal or to get over your ex and one day you will wake up and realized that you no longer think of your ex. I hope things continue to get better for you and you be given the strength to stay strong as you begin to piece your life back together without your ex being the focus point of your universe.

I think it is because, even though the two of you have ended things, he still played a significant part in your life. You may have lingering feelings, which is one hundred percent normal and should go away in time. Even if you don't have feelings, the fact that at one point they were a very important part of your life could be why they are still on your mind. You will end up thinking of them. You cannot get rid of it completely. However, there are ways you can reduce how often you think of them. Try engaging in hobbies, going out with friends (making sure your ex isn't there- also be sure to tell your friends not to bring up your ex when you're around). Read a book or listen to some relaxing music before you go to bed. Get rid of anything in your room that reminds you of your ex. Delete any texts, emails, etc from them. This should help reduce how often you think of them (possibly including when you first wake up in the morning).

Because he or she was a huge part of your life and when you break up with some there side of the memories leaves with them. They say it takes half the time of the relationship to get over the person. Not sure how true that it but without a doubt it takes time to let go of something that was once familiar. Stay stong the feeling will change with time. Time really is the only way to move on and free your mind of the memories of your past. It is normal to think of someone you loved after you are done loving them.

He/she is a part of your past and your life. It is totally normal to keep thinking about them when they are already gone. Especially if the break up just recently happened! Now I don’t know if it was recent or not, but you can not forget someone in the blink of an eye. Nor can you stop thinking about them that easily. But why do you wake up thinking about them instead of thinking about your mom for example? That’s because there’s activity around your ex. You guys broke up, something happened and now you don’t even see or speak to each other again. That is not something that happens on a daily basis and with every person in your life, because of this fact your ex will be triggered into your thoughts, faster than the other people in your life. In conclusion: Thinking about your when you wake up and in general doesn’t have to mean anything!!

We pour so much of ourselves into others, especially those we care deeply for. And when relationships end we end up closing the door to not only the person we were with, but all the memories, milestones, and experiences that were within that timeframe. We stop frequenting places we liked in an attempt to avoid the person. So maybe you just miss them, or maybe you miss the experiences, and the life you yourself lived during that timeframe. We should be introspective when we look at/think about things. There were good things about your ex that may truly have been good and life enriching and worth reflecting on. That doesn’t mean you should go back. Just enjoy the revelries.

From past experiences i needed closure in order to move on and focus on myself. You miss him and not complete over him as yet and that is perfectly normal us women go through it everyday of our lives but you are strongly and possibly in denial, correct me if i'm wrong . It's okay to express your emotions if i we're in your shoes i'd step out of my comfort zone and explore new things to get my mind focused on something or someone else

You still care and that may be a good thing. I do that sometimes and it helps me understand what I had and how I've grown from that relationship. Thinking about them may not be a bad thing.

Waking up and thinking about your ex could be because of any happy memories you had together. They were a part of your life at some point and will have provided you with some of the best memories. It could also be due to trauma of something that happened in the relationship and you may be thinking about your ex hoping they are well and ok. It’s ok to think about your ex partner. It isn’t wrong in any way shape or form. It may be because you still love him/her. You may not be IN love with them however you did once share love and happiness. Those feeling won’t just disappear overnight.
