What do I do

[Jessica323]

My ex and I broke up about a year ago. We had been dating for 8 months and I really fell in love with him. I did things for him that I had never considered doing for other guys. I miss him everyday. I don't feel like I've progressed. It's been so long and I feel the same way I did the week we broke up. I start crying when I talk about him and I think about him almost every day. I've tried to move on... I went on a date but it didn't work out because I was really interested. There are a couple of guys who are interested in me but I don't really want to commit to them. There are guys Ive been crushing on but when I start to consider dating them I start feeling sad because deep down I know they are nothing like my ex. I've gone out with my friends and been a little reckless just to forget about the whole situation and clear my mind but he still pops up and it makes me miss him. I don't even really feel like myself... This has never happened to me before and sometimes I feel like there's something wrong with me because I should've moved on by now but I can't keeping lying to myself every day and telling myself I'm doing good.

I know how you feel, my ex fiancé feels like home to me, like we are soul mates and this is wrong. Every time i start to hit it off with someone my mind turns to my ex. I hate it, even his name feels like home. A year is a long time, but if you loved this person it is understandable. Have you tried therapy? Are you and your ex communicating in any way?
