I think i have a mental problem?

Question

Well, I broke up with my boyfriend about a year ago, but 7 months later we got back together. I dated other guys and he went out with one other girl, but he also hung out with other girls. Everytime I think about that, it makes me really angry and irritated. I get suspicious of him sometimes too. ill check his emails and his myspace, just to see if he does cheat on me or like somebody else. I become somebody else everytime i think about him and those other girls. I get stressed and overwhelmed! What is happening to me?

Answer 1

Jealousy! You're insecure. It's not a mental problem, it's perfectly normal. I know exactly how you feel, I've been in toxic relationships like that, where you don't really feel secure with what you have. It's not going to get any better. I'm sure you're young, go out and have some fun with someone where you won't have to worry. Find out what it is that makes you so suspicious and insecure, work on it, and move on. But you're not a mental case!!

Answer 2

You seem to be jealous and possessive. How old are you? Is he acting the same way toward you about the guys you've seen during the break up? Has he really given you a reason for you to be so suspicious, or are you just suspicious in nature?

Answer 3

u answered the question yeself
u become sumbody else when u think bout him wid other girls
and that brings stress
so why dont do do a simple thing just watch yourself evetry time dis happens
watch yr thoughts, watch this other person
and if it still bothers u
take deep breaths in and out and watch yr bredath for say 5 minutes then watch this other person in u for a while
i promise u the issue will be gone

Answer 4

Everybody in the world has mental problems.
the problem is:
the mind is only a tool, and people give it the power to run their lives.

Advice, read power of now by eckhart tolle. read emotional intelligence. you´re having a limbic system invasion.
Ask yourself, do you love him.
if the answer is yes. say that to yourself everytime you get jealous.
and most importantly make yourself so wonderfull that he wouldn´t want to go near anyone else.

Answer 5

He never cheated on you to begin with, so why act like he is now? You went out with other guys and he should act accordingly, yes? I think you should treat him the way that you would want to be treated.

No man wants an insecure, obsessive woman on his heels.

The pot should never call the kettle black.

Answer 6

You are having trust issues. Best thing is to remember why you broke up in the first place. He's still the same guy, and you probably don't need to be with him anyway.

Answer 7

Your over reacting. Your fine. if u need help. there is this really cool radio station 102.9 that has this show at 10:00 P.M called the love line with Dr. Drew. he can help u out.

Answer 8

I've done that before too. You're not crazy, but if you keep doing it, it might drive you crazy. In addition, you will drive him away. You need to learn to forgive him or let him go. Have you talked with him about why you are angry.

Answer 9

You really can't compain about him doing something if you've done the very same thing.

Either get over HIM, or get over yourSELF. You can't have it both ways.

This just proves that dating does NOT prepare you for marriage - it actually prepares you for suspicion, doubts, and divorce.

Answer 10

Sounds like you just need to grow up and get over it.
