Is it normal to think and dream about your ex almost everday?

So my ex gf broke up with me about 6 months ago but I still dream about her at least once or twice a week. I would think about her almost everyday too. I try not to think about her but the thoughts of her just creeps in my head. I know I still love this girl but I know she already move on. I just want to get her off my mind. Is it normal to still think and dream about your ex? My friend told me I should be over her after 6 months but after 6 months I m still not over her. I try my best to cut contact and erase her off my life but the feeling and thought of her still linger......

-we have been together for almost 4 years.

    I broke up with my ex almost 8 years ago. You, my friend, are normal.

    I often have dreams about all of my ex girlfriends, even the one I went out with for a week when I was 14

    I know it's hard but the best thing you can do is try to distract yourself when thoughts of your ex come up. Dreaming about an ex makes it worse and unfortunately you can't consciencely choose to control your dreams. Well, no...actually you could do some research on lucid dreaming. When you're awake try to keep your thoughts off of her.

    If you feel inconsolable it might be a good idea to see a therapist and or take some medication temporarily. I've never tried it but hypnosis might help as well. Prayer can also help. Hang in there, things will get better.

    Yes it is. I miss mine, each moment of my current life. 70% of my dreams are about her!

    I would say that since you guys broke up 6 months ago you should start forgetting her... I'd say it's okay for one or two months. But I guess you had been together for so long. Don't worry and try to meet new people and eventually you'll realise you don't dream about her anymore! x
