How to stop checking social media after a breakup

Author

When you are in no contact mode, do you manage to stop checking social media?
It’s very hard for me not to do it, I wish I could stop checking if she’s reached out or what she’s posted, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get over it.

just a bit harder to look, i logged out and deleted the apps for a while because i knew i couldn't trust myself yet. i still wanted to check every day, but the urge got weaker.

are you checking because you're hoping she'll reach out, or because you're scared she's already moving on?

i kept telling myself i was "just checking once," but it turned into a hundred times a day. the day i finally muted everything, my head got a little quieter.

I haven't been using social media, because the moment I do! It will lead me to stalking and reaching out to her!

thankfully, my ex’s social media is private so when I unfollowed him I was no longer able to see anything. it did so much of the emotional heavy lifting for me, I do not have to be confronted with anything he’s doing or posting, it has helped me heal a little better.
