Think I need therapy

Hi all
Posted on here before about my situation. My problem is I'm struggling to get over my ex. It's been three months and he's moved on with his ex and I'm really finding it tough even though I know he's an arsehole.
Could anyone share there tips and advice for getting over him before I lose the plot altogether?

You don't need therapy ! you need to try and think positively about your life. do something nice for yourself. You will only make matters worse for yourself if you keep dwelling on things about your ex. He probably isn't worth much thought anyway.

Three months isn't abnormal at all. You could have therapy if you wanted, or leave it another few months or whatever.

You're normal. xxx

If you feel down you could see your GP. x

Bless you OP, 3 months is no time at all. I'm 2 years down the line, I finished it, didn't love him, but still think about them (he has moved on very quickly) quite a lot. For me it's different, I'm grieving a relationship, not the person. I think in your situation it's only time that will heal you.

How long were you together?

It's tough, bloody tough, big big hugsThanks

You are totally normal and 3 months is nothing. I've been with my ex-boyfriend for almost 2 years and I was at lost for a year after. I had all stages of denying, being angry, grieving and accepting, and I think it could be easier if I had a therapy but I did fine without it, too
