Can’t stop thinking about my ex even after 18 months. She treated me terribly but that doesn’t stop me from being distracted by her. Someone invent the pen from MIB pls 😭

As Barney Stinson once said: Do you know why you're not over Lily yet? It's 'cause you can still picture her naked. You can't get over a woman until you can no longer picture her b*obs. It's a scientific fact. The average male brain can only store a finite number of boob images, or BPEGs and your hard drive's filled to capacity with Lily's.

What is it that starts the mental looping of your ex? Specific triggers? You can try to create new memories so you stop the associations with your ex.

From a neuroscience background, you need to interrupt the associations/looping that is happening by focusing on your feet.

"Where are my feet?"
It's a meditation practice where you envision your feet from the ground up and slowly work up throughout your body. If you start to think about your ex again, you start at the bottom of your feet and then work your way up. Focus on sensations, envision your environment, and notice any places in the body that feel tension and try to relax them.

I had a really bad break-up in my mid-20s and this was what my therapist recommended. It worked! Definitely helped me stop obsessing and made it easier to move on.

Hope it helps. You can also squeeze between your thumb and index finger if you need to interrupt yourself mentally from thinking about the person. Focus on the sensations while you do it.

Go to therapy. You don’t miss her, you miss whatever it is she symbolises to you, and your sustained grief is based on a set of beliefs you have about her and yourself that are wrong. Therapy can help you figure out what those beliefs are, and change them.

Agreed that therapy can help break the obsessive circular thoughts.

I need some legit feedback on what is it like to be a UXD at companies like Accenture?
They claim to do a lot of research oriented designs, as everyone. But is that really the case or it's like some other service based companies where the UX is almost vague, and happens mostly based on what the managers think to be good?

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?

The level of shock and anger I’m seeing on my LinkedIn regarding the Twitter layoffs is puzzling. While unfortunate, didn’t we all know this was coming for months? They also get paid / benefits for 4mos + severance (correct me if I’m wrong). And it’s also only like a few thousand people at a tech company. I feel like they have a far better set up for recovery than others who have been laid off already where we all just moved on after seeing the headline. Thoughts?

been talking to this girl since a year. Different cities, met on a trip.
Both are text person so talking happens over chats. No calls.
But I am not sure if she's into me.
Few things which make me believe that she's into me-
-everyday good morning goodnight texts, sharing posts about relationships throughout the day
-sharing her childhood memories, pics
Things which make me feel otherwise-
-she casually mentioned 'find a girl first' over a Convo about fantasies.
- emoji game
