How do you stop the thought process? It's been 5 months with NC. But between him leaving and my mom committing suicide my mind seems to have gotten stuck in this constant thought process. I now recognize that I need to not talk about him. Not write about him. That this is keeping me attached. I need to not even pray for him. So I will start focusing on school, start doing fun things for myself. Get ready for new stuff... but to stop the brain how do I do that. It's like a tape recorder that just keeps looping... is there less that help with this? I do have a very strong relationship with God this is helping.. but I need this to stop because honestly I am exhausted by it and want to move on

Took me a long time to stop 'thinking' -- I am diagnosed GAD & OCD so it's difficult for me to NOT have my thoughts in a loop. What helps me is therapy (giving myself permission to talk for one straight hour of 'looping material'), and interrupting thoughts with quick and meaningful prayers.
Honestly, I still have looping thought processes, I think that is part of my GAD/OCD and I forgive myself when I go down that road. Then, I kindly and gently redirect my thoughts. It is a process, it is ongoing, and it is a deliberate, conscious effort. Sort of like 'rewiring' my brain. One day at a time...
