[quote=LightReading][quote=Marz]That's simply not how it works, love bug. We all try to find ways through that and there aren't any. And believe me, I tried hard to figure out ways lol. Do what you can to dissolve these negative thoughts. The technique helps, diverting your thoughts and replacing them with something more easy helps - like what I told you to do in my most recent comment, when you think about his text, see that anger as him loving you but just being salty about it - boom - negative changed to a positive because you're reinforcing the fact that he still loves you! I know it's a challenge. We all struggle from it. Sometimes the negative thoughts seem unstoppable, but like emmeline said in another discussion - it's like building a muscle. :)  [/quote] Did some simple meditation to encourage positive thoughts instead of negative ones. Besides an apology from the ex, I'd like prettier skin and more confidence. I got an app for this purpose because I am so prone to ruminating on bad thoughts, so I hope this builds "the muscle". ;) Thanks so much for responding. It feels good not to be alone in this. :)  [/quote]
