johnww92 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Ever since my ex girlfriend broke up with me I started NC and I'm trying to move on and forget about her. The problem is sometimes during the day something will remind me of a memory of us and I'll randomly start crying which sucks. For example there is some tv shows we used to love watching together and now if I try watch them I feel really down and theirs loads of other small things that will trigger the memories of me and her and it will ruin my day. Basically anything we had in common or both loved doing if I do that now it will remind me of her and I'm just so sick of feeling depressed I want to forget her and be happy but she was so special to me and I don't know what to do. Any advice on what I should do?
Philosoraptor Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Find new hobbies. Simply enough right now you need reestablish who you are. Do something new that is just about you, nothing you shared. It will not only help fill your time but also keep your mind somewhere else.
d0nnivain Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Certain things still remind me of EXs because those people were passionate about those things. I have a few things that are me: my favorite kind of soda & breed of dog for instance. I would be surprised to learn that those weren't triggers for my EXs. It's just a fact of life. To get through this initial painful part you add change into your life. Redecorate your living space. Even if it's just moving the furniture around, getting new sheets or some throw pillows, do something different. Shake up your routine. Watch other shows. Sit on the other end of the couch. Take up a new hobby. You have to find things that aren't about the EX.
