Why do I wake up thinking about my ex?

It’s not necessarily because you miss your ex or still love her/him. It’s mostly because you are in a phase in your life where you are not involved in a romantic relationship that is capable of fulfilling the emotional void(which everybody has). And your brain simply matches your ex with this void. However, I have found out that there are many ways to replenish that gap without another person. Thinking about your ex is only so natural but you shouldn’t let the thought linger. You will keep thinking about your ex until you don’t. And that day comes, I promise.

When you used to spend alot of time one person it wont be easy to forget even tho time will heal slow but it will take long to forget. Maybe a good tip will be if you focus on other things that keeo you busy about thinking about your ex. Like 2pac said "Hahaha, that's right I know it seem hard sometimes But, uh, remember one thing Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that So no matter how hard it get Stick your chest out, keep your head up, and handle it." Let the time heal you slowly and focus on yourself. :)

Depending on how long you were together, your ex probably represents familiarity and some level of comfort-zone. That’s okay, there was a bond, an investment, so naturally there will be a grieving period, even if it doesn’t feel like you’re grieving anymore. The length of the period will likely depend heavily on how connected and bonded you were to your ex. You will need time to heal and process those emotions and feelings. Surrounding yourself with positivity, familiar and comforting things (like friends and family) and serving others can help you process and move forward. Also, Branching out and finding new acquaintances and experiences will help. It will gradually get better with time.

It depends on how long you have been separated. But it probably means that you are still attached to them. Of course attachment is different from love, and will fade with time. Usually getting over a loved one will take between 3 and 6 months. My own experience with this issue is after a couple of month the urge to think about them most of the time goes down a great deal, and as the months passed it became less and less till it vanished completely. The important thing for me was not to fight it, but rather to accept it and let time deal with it.

Put simply, one of the main reasons you're not letting go of a past relationship is because you're lonely right now, said Erika Ettin, a relationship coach and founder of A Little Nudge. "Rather than pining over someone who wasn't right for you, focus on yourself," she said. "Get back into hobbies you used to do, treat yourself to something that makes you happy, and get back in touch with friends who you haven't seen in a while. It's much better to be single than to be with the wrong person."Immediately after a break up, you're likely to still be connected to each other on social media. Ettin said this isn't a good idea. "Unblock, unfriend, un-everything," she said. "In this case, ignorance is bliss. Online stalking can get out of hand. Don't do it." In time, you may be able to be friends. But don't try to rush it. If you're meant to be in each other's lives, it will happen naturally. So don't worry about burning bridges — look after yourself first.

Maybe because you did not still overcome him/her or maybe because you still feel that connection or bonding. Sometimes it can also be because you might have been missing that person very badly that your mind unconsciously thinking about him / her. Maybe the chapter of love, with your ex, was left incomplete. May be those left out chapters are the ones which are making you think about your ex. Those unfinished chapters need to be finished. And you could also be thinking of your ex as soon as you wake up because there might be instances, happy memories which you had with him / her and something might have triggered those memories.

it’s not easy to forget someone you cared about dearly, be it a good friend or a previous partner. sometimes, you try so hard to forget about someone, but the subconscious will always remember, even if the conscious doesn’t. your brain will hold on to the memories of a person you lost, especially to someone you cared about very much. you wake up thinking about your ex because you loved them. and part of you still does. and part of you will always. even when you have moved on, there will always be that part of you that would miss them, but that’s okay, missing people is part of life, and not everyone that comes into your life is meant to stay.

There are many possible reasons. Maybe you want a closure and thats why you are feeling sonething missing even after your breakup. Its also possible that you still love that person and you are not fully moved upon from your earlier phase. Might be you are addicted to that person and now you are thinking about your ex. It can be the case that your ex had been an important part of your life and now with his non existance, you are missing him. You may even be feeling something missing and incomplete without your ex and want to meet with them atleast once again.

How long have you been thinking about your ex? And how long have you guys been broken up for? They sometimes say - physcologically- we think of someone who is thinking of us - That being said it is clear you still miss them with the greatness of your heart and are still dealing with the emotions which came with the breakup. It is a learning path and is very understandable at first for them to easily pop into your mind. It takes time to gain back control over some of our thoughts which hold us back slightly. There are resources out there for you to use to understand more about your mindset.

I completely understand where you're coming from. Getting over a breakup can be very hard on the mind and the body, and usually we have no control over the thoughts that pop up into our head. Your ex is probably someone that you shared a lot of memories with, and someone that you probably opened yourself up to. When you end things with someone after building a deep emotional bond with them, it can be hard to move forward easily without a struggle. It's very common to wake up thinking or worrying about your ex, even when you're no longer with them. It shows that you still care and love for them. The first step is to start healing over your breakup and start working on moving forward. During this time, focus on your relationship with other loved ones and most importantly, yourself. Healing is a long and tiring process, but it will feel so good when you're done.
