Why do I wake up thinking about my ex?

I wake up thinking about my ex because he never treated me as well as he treats his current girlfriend. I wonder if I wasn't good enough to be treated right. I also wake up and think about if he ever thinks about me. I think about this because it makes me feel bad when I see him on social media with his new girlfriend. I fear that I was not good enough for him and that is why we broke up. I have unresolved feelings about why we broke up and this is why I will oftentimes wake up in the morning thinking about him.

Leaving a relationship is tough. There are days that I wake up thinking about my ex. If you can, I would try reaching out to someone, a friend, loved one, or someone on 7 Cups. If you don't feel like talking to someone, something I always found helpful was to think positively by listing what I learned from the relationship. For example, what things about my ex and relationship were healthy vs unhealthy and use it as a guide to better understand myself. I usually journal to help these thoughts flow freely and to allow me to look back at these thoughts when I need to. (Tip: Journaling has proven helpful during therapy sessions for me, it might help you, too.)

Maybe because u still have feelings or u feel connected and it’s totally okay because in our life we meet a lot of people but only few become special and it’s okay if we think about them sometimes every relationship is not meant to last forever but u creates memories in those relationships which is a good part and carrying it with u for the rest of ur life is completely fine but just don’t let it overcome ur present happiness try to move on with new and existing people in ur life and gradually u ll get through it.

You wake up thinking about your ex because you mind is habitual to go think about that one person from a long time. It has done that from a long time. Ans it needs time to get over your ex. In order to break this cycle of your mind you must put your mind into distractions. These distractions must be positive tasks and activities which helps your mind to concentrate on better, interesting and productive goals. It's not a one day job. You will get successful if you keep working the same way, for about 21 days. And ones you cross that period you would get over your ex completely. You might even start forgetting details about your relationship.

When it comes to breakups and similarly difficult transitions in life, it takes time to process your emotions and get over someone who's been in your life for a while. So don't be too hard on yourself if you occasionally get reminded of your ex, it's a natural process of grieving and getting over someone. And on the days you feel down, remember to enjoy your time being single to reflect and focus on self-improvement. And when the time comes, I'm sure you'll find another wonderful relationship that was even better than before. Best of wishes to you. Stay healthy and happy!

It is hard to get over a breakup. I think that you still need time to heal. What has gotten me through break ups is taking care of myself and my body. Especially when you're going through a break up, it's important to focus on yourself and your mental health. Independence is imporant too. What I do is exercise, eat healthy, do hobbies (mine are drawing and painting), do some journalling (free style or question style), spending time with friends and family, etc. I hope you can find some of these things helpful and you can always do your own things that make you feel happy too. I recommend making a routine as well. I wish you all the best :)

this is how our memory works, its bring back the movies from the beginning, then from the middle, then from the end, then just flashes, then like reading abook, then nothingness, then you either regret it or like to remember it everyday!this is how our memory works, its bring back the movies from the beginning, then from the middle, then from the end, then just flashes, then like reading abook, then nothingness, then you either regret it or like to remember it everyday!this is how our memory works, its bring back the movies from the beginning, then from the middle, then from the end, then just flashes, then like reading abook, then nothingness, then you either regret it or like to remember it everyday!

Hi, I understand you are going through a breakup and still think of your ex. This is natural. Could you please try understanding how you feel just before you think and after you think about your ex? If you feel any particular emotion(s), then it could help if you process the same. Sometimes unprocessed emotions make us go over the past in a loop. In my experience, I did not get closure and there was no chance to get one. So I started identifying the underlying emotions and started working on them. I had a lot of anger at the unfair treatment. I verbalized my anger and practiced forgiveness. Forgiving doesn't mean one should be OK with what happened, it just gives closure to move on. I hope this helps you...

Sometimes our brains can feel like they're on autopilot. There's this particular network in the brain called the Default Mode Network that is active when we are thinking about the past or the future. Sometimes this area being overly active can create a lot of extra "chatter in our minds. Breakups are hard because we get so accustomed to having a certain level of contact with a person, and then it's gone all of a sudden. We can wake up in the morning, anticipating a text, just to feel sad when we remember that person isn't in our lives the way they used to be. I've found that, as crazy as it sounds, activities like mindfulness meditation seem to help us either deactivate or slow down this network in our brain.

Thinking about an ex is normal, lingering insecurities or comparisons they're making — even subconsciously. This is often true when your Ex has moved on before you have. You Wake up thinking about your ex due to you Did not have closer, you still haven't properly grieved the end of your relationship and forgiven her/him. If you haven't made peace with the past then do it, Let go of the fantasy. Many people don't realize that a large majority of the pain they experience during a break-up has nothing to do with the relationship they really had. If you still love him/her then Know That It's Ok To Love Someone And Not Be With Them, accept The Past, and most important be nice to yourself.
