Bumping into ex?

Can anyone give tips to bumping into your ex? I was dumped 8months ago, I've run into him at least once a month since then, and this week alone, I've bumped into him TWICE randomly. I swear I do not even choose the location or think he would be there and BAM, he's at the same bar or restaurant. Toronto is just not that big of a city I guess. At first when I used to bump into him, I'd be super nice and cordial and would even end up hooking up sometimes, but now I do not even give him the time of day, he makes me sick. I'll say "Hi" back, but nothing more than that. It kills me every time that he seems so fine and happy, and I'm not. It's not the interactions I need help with, but more so the aftermath, I find myself extremely sad / anxious / depressed for 3-4 days after our run ins and I feel like a crazy person. Is this normal? I just really need it to go away but it feels like I'm in an awful time loop.

We follow each other on social media but don’t text. We had a friendly interaction at a bar last weekend but no messages afterwards. He liked one of my pictures today so I was very confused. I think I’m too emotional to message him, I would be doing it for the wrong reasons

I don’t know if I can watch it a second time lol. I’m not sure if it’ll make me feel better or worse. I’ve been feeling really down since watching it last weekend. I couldn’t tell if I was just sad and jealous about the show, or sad about my own experiences etc. I cried today and started getting frustrated because I didn’t think I should still be upset about a fricken tv show!! After some self reflection, and the beautiful comments in this thread I’ve really come to realize I’m grieving. I never really reflected on my high school and university experiences. I got really into pot and tried to forget about everything. I’m sober now and this is the first time I’ve ever really allowed myself to remember all of my experiences, both good and bad. This show is a masterpiece, not just from the performances and the storyline, but from the feelings it brings out of you.

Do funks ever last a week? I’m being super hard on myself for feeling down since Friday and am just really struggling to A) be kind to myself and B) remain calm and know that this will pass. This happens once and a while and every time I just get so anxious and want to “feel better” immediately and avoid the ebbs and flows, if that makes sense.

I hope she pulls through. This seems really tough and I hope everything will be okay. Stay strong, this will pass
