How can I stop obsessing over my ex?

Distractions. I rely on those so much. If you have any hobbies, throw yourself into those. If you don't have any, try to find something! Hang out with your friends, start fun conversations with them. Try to make plans with them, if you're more of an extrovert. If you keep yourself busy, hopefully the same that happened for me will happen for you and suddenly, even when you don't have to do, you'll find that you automatically have peace of mind and your ex will hardly pop into your head anymore.
