Why can't i move on after my breakup?

Author

Just when I think I've gotten over it and I'm okay, my brain won't let me. I dreamt about him again. I woke up anxious and sad, went to check my mom's Instagram on her phone, and discovered that he had also unfollowed her. I really don't know what to do.

i hate how a dream can pull you right back into the hurt when you thought you were finally doing okay. i used to wake up missing my ex so badly, and then little things like this would ruin my whole day.

checking little things about my ex when i was trying to move on, and every new detail gave my brain something else to hurt over. honestly, i've had to stop looking because i deserved a little peace, even on the days i missed them.

I'm trying my best to avoid hearing any more news about him, but unfortunately I always have a relapse.

feel for you, especially waking up anxious and then seeing he'd unfollowed your mom too. can i ask, did seeing that hurt more because it felt like he was cutting off the last little connection to your life?

I think deep down I still have hope. Even though I'm struggling to be better than this, I constantly think about him and keep dwelling on it.

La sanación no es lineal, y tener tropiezos o soñar con eso pasa. Concéntrate en tu propio progreso y sé compasiva contigo misma hoy.

I'm not complaining as much as I did at the beginning, but it still hurts a lot.
