Why do i feel sad again 6 months post-breakup?

today its officially 6 months post breakup and oh my god i feel so awful and sad all of a sudden. its like im regressing. he's on my mind a lot and i dream about him again. am i regressing or is this a normal part of the healing journey? i feel like im almost exactly reliving the feelings i had 6 months ago. i also wonder a lot if he's thinking about me today as well.
does anyone have the same experience after 6 (or more) months and does it get better again/ how do i get out of this flunk?

this is so familiar. i stopped treating those waves like proof i was back at the beginning, and they slowly got less scary. i still missed her sometimes, but i wasn't actually living in the same pain anymore.

i hit six months and thought i was doing okay, then one random week it felt like i'd been dropped right back at day one. it passed, and it didn't erase the healing i'd already done.

did something happen recently that brought him back into your head, or did this wave just show up out of nowhere?

I’m sorry you’re experiencing the same pain you had at the initial stages of the break up. I do think it’s normal for emotions to resurface and feel so strong, even months later and can even seem like they came out of the blue. What I hope may happen for you is that you’ll notice you will recover faster than the last time. I know you will get better again. What helped you at the beginning? Maybe try to repeat what was successful for you before.
