How do you get over them?

So my ex and I broke up nearly two months ago. She had a rebound, came back, then went back to him. However, he said he still thought about his ex, and she basically spilled all the beans about us sleeping together during the two weeks before.

It’s been such a roller coaster of emotions these last two months. She’s gone from not loving me, to loving me, to loving me platonically, and back to loving me romantically — all within a span of three weeks.

It’s just so difficult because we are very compatible. My mental health destroyed our relationship, not our values or our goals in life — genuinely, it was my mental health. So I don’t know how to let go when I genuinely think we could work out, provided I learn to live with my disorder and keep taking the necessary steps.

She’s also been very adamant that she enjoys being single and that she definitely doesn’t want a romantic relationship with me as of right now. She hasn’t ruled out it happening again in the future, though. But she also stated that she needs to heal a lot.

Unfortunately, I can’t just see her as a casual hookup or someone to casually hang out with, because it’s nothing like that whatsoever. Nothing about what we do together screams, “We’re just friends.”

I also understand that her headspace is genuinely all over the place right now, Being hurt by myself for so long and then being hurt by another man not long after.

I don’t know — any advice would be appreciated.
