My ex keeps attempting contact and stalking my social media... it's getting unsettling.

Well that's what I am doing, I blocked him on everything I could think of the day I cut contact, and I'm currently researching apps that block incoming texts or hide them from certain number so that in the meantime before getting a new number (contract runs out in 2 months) I won't be bothered by him. I've been reading "the gift of fear" and advice there states that it's best not to block people though, and instead get a new number so that the old one can keep receiving the messages and the sender won't be aware that you don't use the old number. I think I might just get a new number now anyway and pay up the remainder of the other contract. He's not very active on twitter (neither am I for that matter) so I guess I just forgot to lock it down, I had so many other things on my plate. I have zero interest in speaking to him and any residual feelings aren't bothering me enough to return any of his attempts at contacting me. They used to, but I'm healing and I no longer feel that jump in my heart since he's tried to re-initiate contact. This has only started in the last couple of weeks, before that I heard zilch from him so I'd assumed everything was finally over.

I get that some of this is on me not properly cutting methods of contact off - when I did cut contact I just deleted/blocked him on the channels we normally used to communicate and didn't really think about the other channels. I don't really know what I can do about the other things like my business page and my blog because there's no way to block a certain IP from visiting and those pages are public and therefore viewable to people who've been blocked because they can just log out and view it anyway.

I think tonight when I get home from work I'm just going to go through every account I have and see if I can protect it from him in some way.
