Intrusive thoughts about ex

[Thisisworsethananticpated]

I was with someone for 22 months on and off
it’s ended and it’s good that it has - as he wasn’t good for me , or good to me if I’m being honest

the problem I have now is I keep having intrusive thoughts about him
quite bad ones like he’s with someone else , he does something terrible (he has a lot of issues ), about his ex before me

I’m actually ok being single and I’m not especially heartbroken

but I’m really frustrated that he’s still in my head and I’m angry with my own brain 🧠

Because your relationship ended badly, it's not usual to go through the grief that was caused, it can take years to be fully over it, while mostly as you say you're no longer heart broken but feelings can be stirred up from time to time. Try and limit your spare time to just thinking and occupy yourself, don't give him headspace he doesn't deserve.
