Talk to someone you trust. “Hey, can I talk to you about something? It’s been really bothering me and I need to talk to someone about it.” “Can we talk? I need to get some stuff off my chest.” Be honest about your feelings. “I think I still have feelings for my ex. I know she wasn’t right for me, I know we needed to break up, but I can’t stop thinking about her. It makes me feel sick, but I can’t stop.” “I’ve liked someone for a really long time and it’s starting to get unbearable. He’s already dating somebody else and it hurts so badly. It’s like I can’t make myself stop thinking about him, even though I want to.” Describe what you’re feeling and why you want it to stop. “I can’t focus on anything. Everything reminds me of her.” “Every time I think about him, I want to throw up. I can’t stand it.” Ask for advice. “Has this ever happened to you? What do I do to stop thinking about them?” “What do you think I should do? I’d appreciate any advice you can give me.”
