Why can't i stop texting him after a breakup?

Its been about 2.5 months since he stopped speaking to me completely. It takes everything in me to not text him daily, so I’ve been texting him every 3 days (otherwise I feel like I’m going to explode). I actually had a great week where I wasn’t thinking about him much and wasn’t caring what he was doing, so I finally felt free. Until we saw each other at work last night. Now I’ve started spiraling again, texting him nonstop, and I just can’t stop with the overall obsessing. How can I stop a spiral from happening when he keeps coming back into my life?

do you notice what hits you first when you see him again, is it missing him or more like your body just going into panic mode automatically?

i used to see my ex at work too and every time i thought i was okay, one look at him would send me right back into that obsessive loop

Stop texting him no matter how bad you spiral, now matter how many times you see him. If he wanted you in his life, you would be there next to him. Give yourself time to heal. The more you reach out, the less space you give yourself for someone deserving to be in your life
