So you are an emotional person. Many of us are. You've got to learn how to control your emotions just as someone might have to learn how to control their temper. It takes a long time, but if you feel bad after an emotional outburst you aren't in denial, that's a damn good start. You may be half way their already.
Jealousy behavior in general is pretty destructive. It's what tore my parents apart and lead to a divorce. You've got to suck it up a little. It takes time to over come things like jealousy, but work on it, when ever those emotional feelings come on and you feel like bursting out with the wrong thing, just do/say the opposite. The opposite program is a good technique to use at first. It worked for me.
Really though, you should go see your general practioner. Have them do some general check ups on you to make sure you aren't suffering from a Bi Polar disorder or diabetes. Otherwise, be brave and start working on it. Your efforts will be unoticeable for a while, even though you are changing your ways, but you've got to keep at it.
Good luck.

You are letting your thoughts run away with you and control your emotions. You can be in control of your emotions by staying in the moment. Concentrate on what is happening NOW, not what may happen or what could happen in the future. Concentrate on what you can realistically control here and now with yourself, and not what is out of your control, which is anything that anyone else does.
Read some books by Dr. Wayne Dyer. He is an amazing inspirational speaker and can really put these types of things into perspective. Pulling Your Own Strings is a good book as well as Inspiration and The Power of Intention.

I feel for you I really do. I am the same way. It didn't do me any good. I've been in the emergency room many times. Once for putting my fist thorugh a mirror, and one time inparticular, was when I got so angry at my boyfriend, that I actually punched him in the face a few good times. Which resulted in him pushing me to the ground (I wouldn't stop hitting him) & I fell the wrong way, and broke my wrist. It was NOT fun. Ruined my entire summer. After this happened, I sort of snapped into reality. Although i still get the urges to lash out, I try not to. i used to check my bf/s myspace all the time. I pretty much hacked to get his password and everything. (I knew one of his old pw's, was not too hard for me to find out). I am doing better now since my surgery. But I am still on the look out for a psychiatrist, I realize that I really do need one. The sooner you do it, the less likely you will be to do something as crazy as what I did, if not, crazier. Do yourself a favor. I am going to as well.

You really should talk to your doctor. It could hormonal or it could be a psycological problem but what ever it is no one in this group can answer your question. You need a professional. If you don't have a medical doctor look for counselors in your area. If money is an issue look for counselors who work on a sliding scale.
Something is wrong and it is good that you realize it. Now you have to do someting about it. You deserve a good life too.

I don't think anything is WRONG with you, it seems to me you just have a problem with self-control, and a few insecurities. I'd talk to someone, like a psychologist or counselor. Other than that, I'm sure you're pretty normal. =)

there are several reasons that are possible for this:
Self Image and Self esteem issues
Bipolar or Manic Depressive Syndrome
Paraniod Schizophrenia
Past relationships where someone cheated on you.

If you are female, then breathe a sigh of relief: all is normal.
If you're a guy, see a shrink. Really.
