So I (18 f) made a post less than a week ago about a professor (53 m) I ended up having to cut ties with. If you want the whole situation go ahead and read it from my profile, I'm not sure how to link just yet or I would. Everything ended and we stopped talking a little less than six months ago now, yet I still find myself having episodes where it genuinely drags down my mood with how much I'm thinking about him. I know it gets better and I know it was for the best, but does anyone have any tips to maybe- I dunno, speed along the process? I can't stand being sick to my stomach every time someone brings up back to the future or I sit down to write, two things that were pretty prevalent in my life before everything blew up. I've been trying to find him on social media for God knows what reason and I know he's around Reddit somewhere. I know I shouldn't reach out and I have no intention of doing so, but every part of me is just itching to text that phone number again and see how he's been. I just want it to stop.

Anything would be appreciated because I know this is a group of people who have been through similar situations.
