I've been doing well. it's been almost a month since I last checked her socials. when I did it over Valentine's I had sent myself into a panic attack because she had come near my town with her new boyfriend for it.
I've been doing a bit better, I still think of her a lot but I've found ways to distract myself and it's finally to the point where it's not 24/7.

this sounds like real progress. when the thoughts about her pop up now, is there something specific you do that helps pull you out of it?
the biggest help I've had in distracting me is I picked up a large LEGO set so when my mind races I just sit down and start building it. it's helped me calm down alot.
honestly a month without checking is huge.
the first time i saw my ex with someone new online i had a full panic spiral too. staying off their socials after that was the only thing that gave my brain some peace.
I think the thing that sent me spiralling is that we were in a long distance relationship but she never made the effort to visit me. I always had to pick her up. It's small but it really hurt to see that.
you're doing well
thank you, I'm trying really hard.
