Ways to get over him?

Any tips on how to get over someone?
Stop thinking of them?
It's only been a while but he's all I think about.
Even tho he treated me so bad at the end.

Block him totally and give yourself time. You may need lots of time and the longing for him might get worse before it gets better. Eventually though, you will wonder what you ever saw in him. I promise you. Block him now Flowers

Block him.

Time.
Make a list of every annoying habit he had. Even tiny ones, or ones he had no control over like snoring.

Write a letter to him and then tear it up.

Time.
Cry and scream.

Time.

I'm 10 months post break up, and it's finally getting better.

He's actually blocked me on WhatsApp.
So I've just deleted him from all social media.
I just keep re reading texts.

Delete everything and get rid of every photo! Going back over things is just picking at the scab. Whenever I’ve gone through a breakup I just wipe them from my life. I think it’s the quickest way to bounce back, although yes it does still take time.

Delete all the texts.
Have a weep and a duvet day.
Get up the next day and give yourself a shake, get a hair-cut or something that makes you feel good, and do nice things for yourself, absorb yourself in fun things.

Delete everything and block him. Spend time with friends and family who can take your mind off it, even very temporarily. Find a new interest, cooking, gardening, walking, all good for clearing the head. Spoil yourself a bit. It does get better

I am sorry you are struggling with this - and it is made worse by the fact that normal socialising is hard at the moment. I agree that you should delete his texts - going over them will be like poking a wound. Time will cure the pain - just hang on in there. Flowers

Delete the messages. I felt sick doing that, but not being able to go back and re read them has been a huge help. You will get through this. I promise. Flowers

Delete the texts they just prolong the ruminating- I know cause I’ve done this many times.

Although he’s blocked you, you also need to block him on everything so that you aren’t constantly hoping he will reach out to you.

Then get busy, find a new hobby, talk/whine to friends, exercise, take a walk in nature or in town, volunteer, take a class, read that book you haven’t been able to get to, find a tv show to binge. Staying busy is the only thing that pushes me faster through the mourning phase of a breakup.

I'm having a day in bed today with the Christmas movie channel.
It was only 9 months so I probably shouldn't feel this upset.
I think I feel like this because it didn't end because we didn't like each other,it ended because someone told lies about me to him and turned him against me.
