How to completely forget an ex?

[Anonymous]

We separated a while ago. I never got any closure and she immediately cut me out and blocked me and we have not spoken since the breakup. Emotionally I have moved on and I have stopped contacting her and given up hope of us getting back together. However, I think about my ex-girlfriend all the time several times a day. I truly miss her and wish somehow she could be in my life whether I want to feel this way or not. The memories are very vivid especially since we did so much together. Yet I have no choice but to move on yet the past memories and nostalgia hold me back.

You don’t completely forget about anyone who was a significant part of your life.
Your feelings can change, and you do move on, but you have to shift your focus.

If you had interests before you met her or whilst you were with her, get back into those. It’s not an easy thing to do, but once you start, you will gradually find yourself compartmentalising your life and she will gradually take up less and less time in your thoughts.
it might be five minutes, then it will be an hour, then a day and so on.
The worst thing you can do is keep yourself stuck. You have to help yourself

yes i dont want to be stuck you are right! I will dive more into my interest and i have stayed committed to my interest also but in those times when im not occupied i really miss her but i understand and maybe with time it could get better.
