Can't stop obsessing

So, my ex and I broke up at the end of January through text. I confronted him about saying he doesn’t want to have kids with me because he doesn’t want multiple baby mothers. I was hurt, so I texted him to express my feelings, which led to him saying he no longer wanted any interaction with me. I don’t know why, but I’ve been going completely insane. I’ve always been anxiously attached to him, and I want to let go—I have to let go. But I keep getting sudden urges to text him, and I can’t stop thinking about him. I even get headaches from it. It got so bad that I sent him an intimate photo and started texting him about how much I missed being close to him. The thing is, I crave genuine intimacy with someone, which is making me feel completely out of control. It’s crazy because I have moments of peace and clarity, but then I go right back to reaching out to my ex, acting irrationally. I just don’t know what to do. I know it’s desperate, but I can’t seem to talk to anyone about it because I’m embarrassed. I don’t like my behavior and really want to stop. I’ve never felt so crazy and sad at the same time. I wonder if anyone else is having a similar experience—being 22 and craving real intimacy while feeling completely lost when being ghosted.

this is a normal feeling. i’m sorry that this has happened to you, and yes! you have to move on! your life is so much more then this mental attachment to a man who was willing to leave you over that! this person your missing is making a daily choice to not be in your life. let them! once you get through this you’ll realize your so strong :) it’s gonna be hard, there’s gonna be nights where you feel like you can’t live without him, and you NEED him back. it’s hard! attachment issues are difficult. someone out there will love you unconditionally. even when it hurts don’t reach out. and don’t run from these emotions either! letting a good cry out is great for the brain. remember you have a long life to live, and several years from now this will all be a memory. you got this! i hope it gets better! know your worth🩷

Thank you so much for your advice. I practice the "let it go" mentality and move on. You have no idea how helpful your comment has been to me. Thank you!
