Why do I wake up thinking about my ex?

It could be that, when you wake up, there is nothing else to distract you from those thoughts. Do you feel regrets about the relationship? Has there been a lack of closure? Or do you feel you'd like to get in touch again?

It is normal to think of your ex sometimes. You have spent time with he/she. You have loved and cared about them. So it is almost impossible to forget them or to erase them from your memory. By that doesn’t mean that you need to go back to them. As humans, we do have feelings but we have learnt to control them and to move forward.

you could still have love for them or still care for them . we all have that one ex we will always think about .

You may often miss someone you once held strong feelings for, especially if you still want to be with them. Personally my advice would be to fill your time with friends and family, and try to do things to distract you. Over time these will become less of a distraction and more of what you actually enjoy and you should completely forget about your ex. Don't get me wrong, it's never easy and always hurts but it takes time to get over someone and come to terms with how things are now, so take your time and ease yourself into a new way of thinking and acting.

We often dream about our exes at night because we are reliving past experiences, so whenever we wake up, we automatically think about our exes. It's completely normal and you shouldn't let it discourage you. Sometimes this scares us because we think we aren't completely over our exes, but that isn't true! You can be as over someone as you could possibly be, and you'll still dream about them because memories replay in our brains at night and create new images in our heads with the people we used to be with, or people we used to associate with.

You had the strength to walk away because you felt the relationship wasn't right for you... which shows your strength of character. It is not easy walking away from something you know isn't right for you, a lot of people stay in a relationship which isn't what they want , because it is what they have been used to for so long. The fear of change scares them and they think it'll be too painful to leave and move on, but it's more painful to stay stuck in a relationship where you don't belong The first step towards getting what you want is admitting , accepting and taking the risk of leaving behind what you don't want. You have taken that huge step. Don't make the mistake of believing that because you think of her often that it's a sign you want or need her back.

You wake up each morning thinking about your ex because of your deep emotional feelings for him or her. Those emotions are beyond your control and while you sleep your mind is sorting out all these various issues. The love you have for them is something that will never go away, but your mind will adapt to not thinking about them as much. Love is a gift. That person was in your life for a reason and brought you as much joy or more than the break-up brought you pain. Be thankful for them and remember the good times. You never know, what once was can be again.

Because they were part of your life and you can't simply erase it from your memory. I know it must have been difficult to follow your own individual paths, but you can try to focus on the happiest moments you lived together and what you learnt during this period of your life. Even the darkest moments from our life carry a weight with them and we can learn from things we went through. We miss people that walked with us for some time in our lives, but they also have a life of their own to live and that's totally ok. You shouldn't forget, but also let go of all bad feelings.

First of all it's totally normal to think about our ex when we wake up even after it's been quite some time with breakup . We miss the good times , the good memories we had with them , how they made us feel (in good ways) and most importantly how free and alive we felt around them . Also there's a factor of you wanting all these feelings back in your life , because without them it all just seems .... empty!? It will take time to get over with (if you want to get over it) , but with time bud , it does get better :)

They were a significant part of your life and you were used to doing so many different things with them throughout your daily lifestyle. They created memories, taught you things and developed your character. This means they are technically still with you since they are part of your journey :) learn to accept & acknowledge their existence within your thoughts. Learning to let go of someone can be difficult but this can only be done if you accept your circumstances and don't put pressure on yourself to forget about them. They may be in your thoughts to remind you of something you may have forgotten - such as to love yourself.
