Lots of good thoughts... I'd add:

Make sure your Mom knows that you have no desire to get back together, etc. and put your ex on the email ignore list. You may have to force her to respect your clean break request, but it will be worth it in your quest to move on.

I'd also caution you against over stating your shyness and labeling yourself with "emotional problems," etc. The power of the mind is amazing, and it listens to how you think and how you speak. (Self-fulfilling Prophecies) I'm not suggesting these are not real issues, but you want to redirect your attention and energy forward.

As I'm fond of saying, "Jet pilots don't use rearview mirrors."
