After 8 months why do I keep on thinking about my ex ? It goes from peace to anger and it goes all day long . I can’t help myself for the life of me to be at peace with these thoughts . It was the healthiest relationship, we were off and on several several times . Can this be anxiety related ? OCD or a Trauma bond ? Sometimes I can feel my stomach Turing into knots with thoughts like something has to be released. Thanks guys 🙏

I think it takes a while to get someone out of your mind. This is true whether the relationship was good or bad or mixed. Eight months is not a long time. The only thing is to try to be busy and put yourself in places where you might meet someone else. Try not to beat yourself up for ruminating about your ex.
