I recently ended things with my partner. I feel like I'm in physical pain having no contact with him. Ive turned the notifications off on my phone as Im getting upset when I get one and its not him, but I keep going into whatsapp just to see if he's contacted me.
Im currently off work with an injury and will be for about 8 weeks. I have nothing to do besides sit in bed and cry. My nervous system feels shot to pieces, i feel on edge, not eating properly or taking care of myself.
How can i make no contact easier? How can i stop missing him?

Dont force healing, just ride the waves of emotion without guilt and try to understand why the attachment to someone/something that is not the best for you/your life is so strong.
Be gentle to yourself no matter what and no negative self talk.
- read books
- watch movies
- online shopping? maybe you need a few pieces in your wardrobe for your new life
- plan a haircut
- exercise if you can, stretches at home - just move your body
- declutter
- get rid or hide away memories of him
- plan your next holiday or even a trip somewhere close in your own neighborhood
- pick up old / new hobbies
- listen to your favourite songs
- journal
- make new friend / meet people that don’t know him
BLOCK his number because if he contacts you chances are that all you will go back to zero and waste any progress and DELETE his number so if you feel tempted to contact him you are unable to.
If you are not ready to delete messages you can download them on your phone so at least it will not show on your active list.
