I can’t stop thinking about him even when I am keeping myself busy. What should I do?

you’re fighting silence more than anything. you fill the hours but when your focus slips, he’s the first thing that shows up.

i cleaned my whole apartment just to keep moving, and the second i sat down he was there in my thoughts. it’s just your mind catching up with your heart, it doesn’t mean you’re failing.

i used to keep myself busy too. work, gym, friends. none of it mattered, he was still in my head all the time. it pissed me off cause i felt like i didn’t even own my own brain anymore.

go for walks, text friends, but dont text him. stay strong. it'll get better and easier over time

each time you think of him ask yourself ‘what do I want from him’ then explore ways to give it to yourself. This practise takes your focus off him and puts it on yourself.

the no contact has helped me the most. i went from thinking of him all day everyday, today is day 3 and i actually had a few moments where I didn't think of him. it gets really really hard but if you can refrain from contacting him, it will get easier everyday even if it doesnt feel like it at the moment. ❤️

I feel the same right now and I keep contacting him but just keep pushing ❤️
