I can't stop thinking about my ex. What should I do?

Try to distract yourself, start working on your hobbies or hang out with your friends if you'd like.

Sometimes when you can't think about someone, it's best to give it some thoughts. Reflect on your relationship and get some closure before moving on completely. Afterwards, you can then concentrate on yourself. Go hang out and focus on other aspects of your life - family/friends/pet - you'll be surprised by how much you've missed. Find yourself and remember that someone else will come along and make you much more happy than he could ever do.

You should stop trying to not think about your ex. Go ahead. Think about them. Think about your entire relationship. Talk to someone about it. Find a friend who has free time and just tell them to listen to everything you have to say and tell them every single detail about the relationship and tell them every single thing you've ever wanted to say to your ex. That gets all of it out of your system. Listen to music that empowers you. Sing along and dance to it. Just let yourself go in the music. Over time, you might even find someone else after you feel like it.

Be honest with yourself. No one is asking you to delete him for good from your life. But keep in mind the reason why you two broke up and think about what makes you happy. Is he making you happy? Is he making you sad? You're holding the answer.

Think about yourself first and your with . It's ok to have flashbacks of every now and again . But your ex is your ex for a reason

If you really like your ex you could try to make up and become only friends. If they do not want to, you should surround yourself with friends who want to spend time with you. Go shopping or to the movies until you stop thinking about your ex altogether

Have so time for yourself. Remember that you have friends who can help you. Have a girls night out or boys night out. You need a time to yourself from all the mix feeling. Take a vacation or just do something fun you like

I would recommend talking to someone you trust will help you, expressing your feeling about someone with someone else can really help with relieving pressure of still wanting your ex. Also remember to let go! There is a wide variety of people that are compatible with you! Also get rid of anything that reminds you of your ex, this can significantly reduce the chance of remembering your ex.

You should move on. You are a good person he/she doesnt deserve a persone like you. They are not worth it.

It is very natural to think about your ex. In the situation of leaving because the couple didn't connect, it is ever so incremental. In situations where you were abused, you will find it more bashful than the previous stated situation. In situations where you were ignored, longing for someone is a repetitive action you were doing so it's in the norm. If you fill your time with other things, thinking about your ex is not a problem. First, try with friends. Second, with the internet, Thirdly, you can play video games or something solo. Anything that involves brain activity is good.

Pick up a hobby, mingle with other people, and get to know yourself. Write about your ex. Get all your feelings out. Do things that make you happy

you should do something that makes you happy that ALSO makes you forget about your ex. For example: Go for a bike ride, hang out with friends, go to the movies, tell yourself that he wasn't worth your time and you deserve so much better :)

From my experience, it's going to keep nagging you in the back of your mind, but keep focusing on moving on. Realize that time doesn't wait for anyone and overcome the thoughts your been thinking.

Try keep yourself occupied, talk to other people and enjoy life! Realise you dont need them to be happy as your life doesnt revolve around them

Entertain yourself with some activities and do stuff that makes you think about something else. Get to know yourself better, and then slowly heal and let them go.

This is totally normal for people who really feel strongly for an ex! However, in my experience, although this person is important to you, you have many other things that make you happy. Start by doing the things you love, with the people you love. Believe me, I've been through the "But they're perfect" thing before. Soon, you'll begin to realise that they're not perfect and you can do much better. Of course, if you really feel like you and your ex getting back together would be a good idea, then fight for them by all means, just be prepared that you may not get them back.

try busying yourself with other things take up new hobbies or spend more time with the people you enjoy hanging out with

Don't try to not think about it. You had happy memories that are worth cherishing. Those happy memories may be the only ones, but they were worth it

Allow yourself to think about your ex. Pay attention to what you are feeling and what you are thinking about when you are thinking about your ex. Are you fantasizing about a future? Are you reminiscing on the past? Notice what was important to you about this relationship.

delete him and everything that resembles him from your life.meet new people,occupy yourself,find new hobbies and stop thinking of him

It is verynormal. You can't just get over someone in one day so those are your love feelings for him though with time they will surelygo away depending on how hard you try to move on the faster you try to forget him the faster those feelings will go away and try to fill the void doing something that you love. God bless. Take care :)

maybe you still have feelings sit them down and talk about it and explain why it is you are thinking about them and try to find solutions

Well, for one, don't force yourself not to think about them. Chances are that will only make you think of them more and miss them. Also, remember that it's okay to miss someone you were once in love with, in fact it's very normal and even healthy, depending on the severity. If you feel as if you are still in love with the person and can talk about why you broke up in the first place and resolve it, maybe there is still something there. A lot of people breakup due to just lack of communicating. But also, you may just miss them. Just like when people chose to move to a different state. Yes, they will probably miss their old home, but only at a distance. It does not have to effect you and disrupt your life. Maybe you should remain friendly with your ex and just see how they are doing. Keep the friendship or even just let them know you still care about them. You loved them once, so there is nothing wrong with still caring about them and wondering how they are doing.

Then, think about him/her. make a list of the things that you liked and hated/disliked about him/her. The list would help you decide whether he/she is worthy to be thought about.

The best things would be if you can find a healthy alternative thing to think about. Like I looked for different sports and made a few new friends. So if my mind thinks about my ex I have an re-direct procedure.

Try going out for exercise or try a hobby that will take up most of your time. Soon enough, her thoughts will escape the building

I do this all the time!! I think the best thing to do is just distract yourself when you feel like you're thinking about them. But then again, the harder you try to not think of them, the easier it is to remember them.

Based on personal experiences, keep yourself busy! hang out with friends, family, play games, etc. depending on the reason for the break up you could also try talking to him about it. Atleast you'd have the peace of mind to know you tried. Keep yourself safe and dont try to go into a relationship if it was unhealthy before. Put yourself first!!!

It always helped me to ask myself why I think of them- has it really to do with them or is it something I projected on them or even something I missed about myself how I was when I was with them. Don't try to fight the thoughts, they are okay and are there for a reason. For me, accepting those thoughts, but not chasing them helped me a lot.

Start thinking about something else other than them. I know it may seem hard but that would be the first step.
