are the nightmares about him directly or more like the feeling of losing him keeps showing up in different ways

It's ok lovely, take it one day at a time.
Weeks on and it's much better, I still wake up thinking of him some mornings, but I've learned to slow down. Remind myself that he's not going to message, and if he does, it's not urgent. I have time.
It's helped me to talk more with friends, get used to notifications from literally any other source. It takes a little time, but you will desensitise yourself from the panic. I keep my phone on quiet mode at night, so I can sleep without any buzzing waking me up.
Focus on slowing down, and the fear will fade.

You are so sweet!! it's so hard for me to talk to friends because i'm back to my home country and I literally don't have any friends here. i got terminated from my job in his country because he talked bad about me and i got drunk and i fell down on my head and almost died lol for someone who left me like i was nothing.

@Jeyjey Oh no, I hope you're recovering?!! This is awful, I'm so sorry. Do you have your friends online to chat to?
I would 100% avoid drinking, at least so soon after everything, but if you can go somewhere social (maybe a café, a park, join a hobby group etc), meet new people, that's always a great opportunity to just chat and make friends, whether you talk about this situation or anything else, they might have advice or their own stories to tell!
Remember, he lost you. He doesn't deserve you, he never did, and it's his fault. You're going to move on to much better things.

i know it sounds small but what helped me was putting my phone far away before bed and playing something calm in the background, it didn’t fix everything but it stopped that instant panic reach

i used to wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing and grab my phone like it would fix something. even with them blocked my body didn’t get the memo for a while

hey, I do too, is terrible, I have her blocked too, and still dreamt of her texting me just for the fun of hurting me... it's horrible, I miss her so much, I love her so much, but I miss and love someone who doesn't exist anymore, and there is only someone who once loved me, and now wants to make me suffer
