Trying to find peace
Been a while since my breakup. So far I've been working on my issues and trying to better myself. It's been going good so far. But I'm having a hard time getting over my ex. Been with them for a lot of time. And trying to move on is not easy. Constant anxiety and stress everyday. I feel like I'm losing myself and I'm worried I'm losing my progress.

I can relate.
I recently got out of a bad relationship that lasted for a few years.
I constantly wonder the same things.
The truth is that I need time to grieve. Yes, focusing on self-improvement is important. If we don't grow then we'll stagnate. However, the loss you've experienced also needs to be completely acknowledged.
You didn't just lose the relationship. You lost who you were in that relationship. That version of you still exists, but they can't be the one calling the shots anymore. They need some love and attention from time to time.
Something that can help start a dialogue with yourself is:
"I see you."
"I hear you."
"How can I support you?"
And listening to what they have to say.
