Do not text message. Do not call and leave messages. Do nothing in regard to gettting in touch with that someone you are trying to let go of. Anything your mind tells you to do, don't. Feel those feelings that come with this new action. All you have to do is feel the feelings. No, they aren't comfortable but they are temporary.

Practice this for as long as it takes for you to take control of your life. You will know when you are in charge of this.

I appreciate that Boon, Im going to read that everyday! I am better. Im not bothering him or being psycho, but I just hate these feelings, I have OCD with my phone, its like I MUST look at it whenever possible, I dont know what I'm looking for tho!

Just to add some additional ideas for you, another step would be to not take the phone with you during the day and just check it at night. It's the same as stove checking or ceiling tile counting or footstep counting. You don't have to do it. Again, feel the feelings you are experiencing while doing this new action. Also, don't push the feelings away. Instead, welcome them. You do not have to act on them so what does it matter if the feelings are there? Welcome them. You can say: "Oh, I was expecting you. You are welcome here." Feel those feelings and just go on with your day.
