What should I do if I keep having flashbacks about my ex?

Ok, my ex played a lot of mind games with my when we broke up and he used the phrase ‘seeing each other’ but turned out that he was actually using me and had no intentions of getting back with me. It has been a very long and painful struggle (5months) but what i have done is distance myself completely from him, find a bunch of new friends and go out to parties and events with them to take my mind off him, and now it has finally worked and i have found possibly, the nicest guy i’ve met in my entire life..just try and keep your feet on the ground for now - best of luck x

I was with a physical and mental abuser for 22 months. I left him a year and a half ago and more often than not, if I am alone, randomly he will enter my thoughts and I will go off thinking about stuff that he has done to me. It is just about as bad to think back to it as it is when it actually happened.

How do I cope? I remind myself that I am safe and a lot better now that I am no longer with him. He is nothing but my past and can no longer hurt me anymore.

There are people around you that love you very much and will make sure that you are not hurt by him again.

Best of luck to you.

I am going through a break up now and am like 85% over him finally. But i always had flashbacks. It takes time but u will get through it eventually. it sucks, i know

Your’e 13. Go play with a barbie doll or something.

how does anyone stop thinking about anything…. a distraction…. any way possible. Keep your mind on something else, anything else. A hobby, friends, etc. The key is distraction.
