I understand how you're feeling as I'm in the same place - for the 2nd time.

When I was a teen I had a guy in my life who I loved. Circumstances separated us for 20 years - then he came back in my life. At the time I was like you. What I did was to wear a rubber band around my wrist and every time a thought of him came in my mind I snapped the rubber band and said stop. At first it was constant then got less and less until I moved on from him.

Then he came back in my life 20 years later and I'm in the same place again.

We are friends and see each other but he's in a relationship now. I, again, need to get over him and am having a hard time doing so. Seems even more difficult the 2nd time around. I'm trying to remain friends, but we'll see.

Try the rubber band, or at least saying 'stop' to yourself when he pops in your head.
