As I'm going through heartbreak, I find myself wanting to have a reason to call my ex. Like to tell him someone in my family died, tell him I'm in the hospital, or some good reason to talk to him. I don't actually call him, I just think of reasons like that all the time. Is that totally crazy?

GOD NO! It's completely normal. Everyone cycles through these things. The good thing is you're sticking to your guns and keeping up NC.

Only if it goes on and on and on will it start to be a problem. Start with "today, from 2pm -3pm, I will not think about him at all" and move from there.

- There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about people from your

I live in NYC and there was a big steam pipe explosion last night. My first thought was "I wonder if he's worried that I was involved or hurt? Maybe he'll call..." Then it switched to "Maybe I should just sent him a quick text saying I'm OK..." How crazy am I?? Thankfully instead, I crawled into bed with my Sex & the City DVDs and went to sleep.
