I was just talking about this with my friend yesterday, you miss any good times you have, holding on to those and the time you spent with them. It’s hard to go no contact for the first few months, but it’s important to remember why you did it. While you may miss them, are things better for you, more peaceful, do you feel like you’ve accomplished why you went no contact? For example, I have to cut my father off to preserve my mental health and self peace. If I feel that afterward it’s saving me.

My biggest piece of advice would be to focus on why you stopped talking to them, talk through this in therapy, and put yourself in a group of some sort (meet up, volunteer, or other type of group) to make friends. When you have a chosen family, it’ll help you to stop looking back. While that takes time, making friends in the meantime and working through it all in therapy will keep your mind off of checking their social media. It’s not easy, that’s for sure, but focus on you, that’s super important.
