I have a fake chat with the same name i was using for him (still haven't changed the real one I don't feel ready) and the same profile picture he had. i use it to text all the things I would say to him and also to vent, I think it is helping because I do not pretend it's him, i text things like "I miss you" "today I saw this and thought of you" "I wanna know how you feel" and that type of things. i think it helps with the times I really wanna text him. Do you guys think it's crazy or...?

i don't think it's crazy at all. i've written whole conversations with my ex that never got sent, and eventually the urge to contact him got quieter because i wasn't carrying every thought around in my head.
do you feel calmer after you write to that fake chat, or does it sometimes make you miss him even more?
I feel better
i used to write messages to my ex in my notes because some days the urge to text him was SO strong, and getting it out without actually sending it helped me a lot. you're definitely not crazy for needing somewhere for those words to go.
this is a really good way to cope with it. my ex had an deleted acc and i am texting it too like a diary. "oh i missed you so much." "do you remember the times when we..." "i saw you in my dream". it really helps and no i think its not crazy
I think this is a beautiful way to process things. You are allowing yourself to get out all your feelings without risking a hurtful response from him or breaking no contact. you are doing great
