The only thing you can do is block them, I used to make so many accounts just to see if he would repost about me on tt but I recognized that I'm doing this all for a guy who wasn't worth it and he wasn't even reposting about how he missed me or anything. best thing is blocking any contact, or you will crawl back to them, from personal experience

blocking their accounts for a while because i knew i couldn't trust myself to stop looking. the urge didn't disappear overnight, but it got quieter every week.

i used to check my ex's pages every chance i got, hoping to find something that would make me feel better, but i ALWAYS ended up hurting myself more.

how long has it been since the breakup? is there something you're hoping to find when you check, or is it more that you just want to feel close to him again?

block him, focus on hobbies or talking to friends

This has been my main issue for weeks. I have the freedom app active on my phone around the clock. I’ve been locking my personal laptop down in my building’s storage room. I still check though.

I'm so sorry honey. it was like that with me for a while but now I stopped doing it.

I’m sorry you’re going through this too. our minds play mean tricks on us. the only thing that has been working for me was to both change my password and give it to someone I trusted, while also deactivating Instagram. it has been 5 days since I last looked, which has been a massive improvement from the multiple times a day I was looking.
