Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just need advice and I apologize if I waste your time for such a question that a friend or family could probably answer. But how can I get over a past relationship? How do I get over it and stop thinking about it mostly every day? It s like I can t let go and it s upsetting. I got out of a serious relationship last spring and I though I was over it but it just keeps coming to my mind still to today.
I went through your details. Relationship problems are such. These relationship problems are life separation anxiety and grief. Somehow something we love is leaving us. Naturally there will be some trouble to adjust with the new situation. Accepting the fact is difficult and pushing the thoughts aside can make the thoughts come back vehemently again and again.
The best option is to mentally accept the fact, gently. Do not force the thoughts away. Accept thoughts as your sweet memories. No ill about those thoughts. Whenever you are aware that the thoughts are present, gently divert yourself into some creative activities. On top of everything, you should not have any hope that the relationship can be refurbished. Close the chapter completely. Relish the sweet past and memories. You will not forget the whole episode, but definitely you will be happy to recall those memories and those memories will not hurt you.
