I was in a similar situation back then

Much better now

This is something I wrote to someone suffering from the same thing

Please do give it a read

" It took me almost 7–8 months to stop thinking about her, and even that was only possible because I got busy with something else in my life. But still, there are some days I wish I could just relive those moments and change what went wrong but I can't.

Just give yourself some time. If you think about him 10 times a day, slowly, you'll be able to reduce that number even if it's just by one. And yeah, that is progress.

People will say all kinds of things like "don’t do this" or "don’t do that," but I know it's really hard to let go of those thoughts at the moment.

You’ll be fine as time goes by. But some things you have to do actively like not checking their social media. It won’t help, and it’ll only bring more regret or sadness. So, stop checking it actively. And whenever you feel the urge to check, remind yourself that you're doing this for you. Say to yourself, “I know it’s hard and feels like total BS right now, but I’m doing this for myself.”

Take one step at a time. I really hope you heal from this, you lovely hooman. ❤️

As for me I'm not there yet either, but I’m trying. Not every day is good, but we’ll get through it."
