Why do I wake up thinking about my ex?

It can be hard to get through a breakup with someone you once had such a strong connection with. You may not have fully gotten over them, and are still attached to them in some way. Id suggest trying to get rid of things that may remind you of your ex if there’s any pictures of items, or at least keep them away so they’re out of mind. Try your best to focus on your friendships and growing new relationships which can help you become focused on new relationships instead of past ones:) it might take some time to truly forget about your ex but it will eventually become easier and easier

Waking up and thinking of your ex could be that you triggered a memory in your sleep, however long you were with your ex-you still spent some of your life with him/her.. maybe you still hold a torch/grudge or raw feelings? it’s healthy and a curse at the same time.. but your only human and it’s only natural to think of your past and future, whether it happens from sleep or even daydreaming can trigger this.. how are you feeling toward your ex? Is it something you can find to let go of.. possibly seeking professional aid will help if needed

When we go into relationships and have a special connection with a person it is normal to think about them constantly from the time we wake up until we lay our heads down. In the case of an ex partner, there was a connection there and whether you would like to or not you will think about that person for a time. As time carries on and less connection is made, the less you will be cognitive of that person’s presence. However it all depends on your desire to keep the connection. In time and with other connections, waking up and thinking about this person (if this is what you desire) will become less.

A lot of times, after me and my ex broke up, I would have dreams about him and what we had. It's perfectly normal, your mind is just subconsciously thinking of them. Another thing could be that you're unhappy or not contempt with the way things ended, in which that case, maybe you could try talking to them to see if you can be friends. But as long as you just try to distract yourself and let go of them, everything will be okay. The worst thing for me was that I was in a perfectly happy relationship and somehow I would always end up think of my ex at the worst moments. History with someone is hard to let go.

In my experience it happens when you're still in the process of getting over your ex. Remember school time? The first thing that crosses your mind after waking up used to be some assignment, some test or some curricular activity that you were nervous about. Similarly, when you wake up after a break up the thing that has been occupying the most part of your brain are the thoughts about how to deal with the breakup, the memories of your past relationship which are still haunting you. Don't worry! As soon as you get yourself busy; be it with your work or studies or some other passion or task that you feel passionate about, the thoights of the ex will get replaced by those productive thoughts. Just find your passion and throw yourself into it. You can also try distracting yourself by adding activities like exercises, morning walks, or some early morning beauty routine right after you wake up. If the break up is still fresh take your time to grieve but in case it's been an appropriate amount of time and you're worried about yourself refer to the above said tips and start taking things in your own hands. Remember, every new morning is a fresh new opportunity to start over and build yourself up :)

Breakups are upsetting and disturbing. they leave many memories behind. You shared a part of your life with your ex. its probably hard to just snap out of your past. Breakups are not easy and it might take some time until you get used your exés absence. Time heals everything. you will get used to not thinking about him/her gradually. and things will be just fine then. we all experience it at a point in life and learn to get over it. you will too. you are gonna be alright, i wish you get through this soon and move on. :)

Waking up thinking of your ex is completely normal. Breakups have lots of negative impacts on a person. You will grieve and hurt. Thinking of a person means you love and care for them, you may still be in love with that person. It is completely normal to still love your ex no matter why you have broken up. That person may have had a huge impact on your life good or bad, people who have had an impact on our lives tend to stay in our lives or on our minds disregarding the situation. We think of the ones we love and or miss, it is okay to miss and or still love that person. You will at some point forget that you woke up and thought of that person for the better.

I think it is because they have been an important or regular part of our lives so when we wake up we shortly think that they will play a role in our lives that day. This does not mean they still SHOULD be in your life, it is just that your brain hasn't gotten used to the fact that they are not.

It could be because you think about your ex in the evening before you go to sleep. Do you maybe long for having nice time in the bed with your ex? In my experience, triggering stuff about which i was thinking in the evening, just before i went to the bed, returned back as soon as i woke up in the morning. If it is also your case, can you maybe consider doing some relaxation exercises in the evening and trying to distract yourself from thinking about your ex just before you go to bed and in the bed before you fall asleep? Yes, i understand that it can be difficult as bed can remind you about nice time together in the past but it is worth trying.

First off, know that this is totally normal! I'm not sure if you've recently gone through a break-up, but either way, it's totally normal and expected! Every relationship we put ourselves in gets a little puzzle piece of ourselves and when that puzzle piece gets lost or taken away, it can feel like we are no longer complete. Your ex may have had a big impact on your life, and your body and brain is most likely not ready to fully move forward and face this new normal. My favorite way to approach whenever I think of someone from my past is goal-setting. Why? It helps me prepare for the future, get excited about my plans, and helps me reset my mind into knowing that more bigger and better things are to come and this person will not define me.
