Not sure for iOS, but on Android you can put the stopwatch widget on your home screen if you use it a lot, makes it easier to reach. Not as easy as a dedicated stopwatch, but an option if you don’t want one but use the feature a lot.

Liszt.

Someone else here said to spend time reflecting, but I found this only made things (edit) worth worse for myself.

My secret weapon is distraction, it’s the only thing that truly helps when I’m in a, uh, dangerous (for me) mood. Distracting yourself with things you love doing helps distancing yourself from the situation and makes you realise there is more to life than your ex.

No amount of talking about my feelings or reflecting on the relationship has helped me as much as listening to music, drawing, baking, exploring new online communities etc.

You know how people will say if you start lying to yourself that you’re great and happy, you’ll eventually start believing it? It’s similar to that, I think, you remind yourself often enough that there are other things you love and that make life worth living.

So, yeah, time + filling your life to the brim with things and activities you love.

Have you heard of rabies?

(not OP) I’m curious, are you not able to “play back” songs in your head then, for example? This is such a foreign idea to me - sometimes there are melodies playing in my head without me even initiating it, in a way. I’m wondering if there are people this doesn’t happen to.

Not who you replied to, but you can copy the link and paste it into the wayback machine (archive.org) to view an older snapshot of the site

Really feels like bottom of the barrel r/funny stuff, the kinda stuff we really don’t need to be bringing back…

Also if your partner just died for three days I think you should get a pass at being angry and upset but maybe temporary death is more common than I thought.

The psycho ex is being threatening and an asshole, I doubt they’re using the term “girl” just in a jokey and endearing way. Has more of a “you are my girl” vibe.

Edit: also, the “bitch” and “whore” are dead giveaways lol
