I occasionally have visions of people one hundred years from now reading about the "social media craze" that swept through society during the first few decades of the 21st century, until it was recognized to have caused all sorts of harmful psychological effects and unacceptable behavior of its users, and simply became a tool of control and surveillance between corporation and state until it ultimately collapsed upon itself and was shut down.
"Why would people do that? Were they stupid?" will be the questions of the day in 2124.
I've never blocked or unfollowed an ex in my entire life. Is like erasing that person from my history, like it never happened. Never understood that.
And usually it was the same with me. I didn't get blocked or unfollowed.
She's not in your life anymore. She doesn't need to be keeping tabs on what you're doing online. You had a relationship with her, and now you don't. Look at how her not watching your stories is affecting your mental health. It probably would be beneficial for you to block, unfriend, unfollow. The memories are in your head, not online.
This reads like an episode of Black Mirror, where the social media gets implanted in your brain so you can replay, change, or delete certain scenes from your life. So bizarre.
Sadly we are, social media is taking a toll and I am someone who doesn't share my relationships there. I usually post nonsense. She was even more than that.
But when she stopped it felt bad.
When you break up with someone, they're out of your life and you're out of theirs. It's great if you both still want to be friends or in contact, but you shouldn't be surprised or think it unusual if it doesn't work that way.
Maybe she's also sad about the breakup but had to do it because it was what was best for her, and following you just makes her feel worse. I usually advise a clean and complete break when it's hard to get over someone. Maybe she's making many breaks with what her life was like before and trying to start anew. Maybe her therapist advised her to do it. You're putting way too much on this.
Do you have other friends? Spend time with them. Do you have hobbies? Spend time with them (or cultivate some if you don't). The less time you sit around doing nothing but thinking about her and your relationship and overanalyzing your relationship and everything that's happened since, the faster you will heal. I'll say what I said before:

I do, and I am doing that, spend most of all of my free time with them. Hobbies, I have those, but I am slowly going into them. For the moment it's job and renovating my house, so my mind is very busy. But as Whitney said, when I go home at night, there is no one there no one waits for me.
My two cents is yes: either her therapist told her to do that, or she did it to get over me faster. But it hit me hard, like hard.
But the awkward part is that for a week now I randomly started talking with a woman. I have zero interest in rebound sex, rebound relationships anything. However, this woman is really really interesting. Hobbies, things she likes are similar to mine, work in the same industry and also very good looking. I would have been all over her if this wasn't the situation at the moment, we clicked instantly.

That's how life is for many people. Somehow they survive (some even prefer it). You can, too.
You have no hobbies or things to keep you busy at home? You don't read, write, watch TV, paint, knit, cook, play the piano, call friends or family, browse the internet, play video or computer games, do chores, work out, learn languages or calculus or history, listen to music, etc. etc. etc.?

I do.
All of them.
I am just slowly trying to do them. Baby steps.

It’s the darnedest thing, isn’t it, when a good person comes along at the wrong time?
How about adopting a cat? They’re nice to come home to.

It's absolutely terrible. It feels like a joke at times, this can't happen, but it does.
Can't get a cat because the owner where I live doesn't allow pets.
But I want to move in the next months and hopefully if it's pet friendly I might.
