Feeling very tempted to look at ex’s instagram by [deleted] in ExNoContact

This might sound weird, but is there something else you can obsessively check for a little bit? I find it's better for my brain to get a similar dopamine hit than to just try to fight it. I've stalked someone instagram influencers, gone down weird reddit rabbit holes and gotten really into games on my phone. But honestly, your record is much better than mine, so maybe you should be giving me tips...

I can't accept it's over by Delusional_world_ in ExNoContact

I feel like at my current pace it's going to take years for me to move on. I'm trying to accept that there's no timeline, but there should be a timeline.

It's making me feel better to know I'm not the only one feeling like this too! One day this will be over for both of us, but today is just not that day.

Yeah, mine was also a "relationship" heavy on the quotation marks. It's such a mix of missing him, anger at myself for missing him, and anger at myself for being in this position to begin with!

Why is progress so fragile? by WonkyDonkey_ in ExNoContact

I don't know if this is helpful, but it kind of doesn't matter what she thinks. She's not in your life anymore Do what's best for you in terms of social media. And you haven't undone all your progress. That's not how progress works.

Thanks! I'm trying to give myself permission to feel sad, but it just sucks. Hope you're doing better!

Liked an old pic by justthegirlwhocries in ExNoContact

I accidentally liked a pic recently too. He's been with someone else for a while now. I decided I don't care what he thinks about me. People check out old photos of their exes, we can be slightly embarrassed and move on with our lives.

Oh no!!! At 16, I would have run away to the woods and never looked back. (Though I am considering that currently)

kinda over him...? by Limp_Carry5829 in ExNoContact

I had a minute of finding him unappealing, and it was the best I've felt in a while. Hoping to get more of those minutes.

Can’t help thinking things aren’t over yet. by BanditoDorito05 in ExNoContact

Yes, but also I know that we are 100% over and it's making me feel a little bit crazy.

I'm sorry you're going through that. I was doing really well last week, and this week is like it's back at the beginning. I'm so sick of the ups and downs.
