Does Too Much Analysis Prevent Moving On?

I'm at that stage now (almost 3 months) where all my friends are getting sick and tired of hearing about it, or, even if they aren't "hearing" about it, of me being preoccupied with it.

I woke up this morning STILL angry, upset, sad, disorganized, in pain, etc., and I wonder, are all my attempts to understand the "N," to get inside her brain, to try and figure out what's going to happen to her and her child and her new relationship etc, actually impeding my progress?

I've learned so much from this site and others, but I'm wondering if maybe I should just forget about her, narcissists in general, and just put the whole thing out of my mind completely, like a bad dream.

What do you think? Does analyzing the situation hinder letting go?
