Emotional Instability?

For the last few months, I’ve been constantly worried that my girlfriend will cheat on me, or that she is unfaithful. We’ve been seeing each other for over two years now. In late January, we had a falling-out about another guy, but we worked it out. For a while, things were fine, but then I started getting very anxious and jealous. Any time she would mention one of her friends who’s a guy, I’d get depressed and irritable. We’re still going out, and things have never been better between us, but on the inside, I’m constantly worried and angry, and I feel that it may ruin our relationship. Am I emotionally unstable? I already suffer from Anxiety, Depression and OCD. Should I honestly seek out even MORE help?

Thanks, Internet.

meds might just need a little bit of re-adjustment. try not to worry. You trust her, right?

I try my best to. Before our little fight, I trusted her entirely, but it seems that the longer I worry about this, the further away I’m getting from her. Its like I’m searching for things to justify my anxiety and upset. Every little thing she does I take as some kind of a sign. Its getting ridiculous.

As for meds, I’m on 30mg of Fluoxetine, 2mg of Clonazepam (I think. It may be 1mg) and since I’ve spoken to my doctor about this, he put me on 1mg of Risperdol a day. It’s been about a month that I’ve been on the extra meds, and I haven’t noticed any difference. This has happened before with me (some cause of minor anxiety exploding into a huge issue, with me constantly ruminating over it) and I ended up going for CBT, which helped slightly. Maybe more therapy is the answer, maybe not. I just don’t know if it’s me, or the meds or what. It’s pretty frustrating.

I took Paxil and then switch. I also had Clonazepambut only used it on occasions where I had terrible panic attacks. I also did CBT. It helped IMMENSELY, but took a while. talk to your psych (or doc) about it. good luck
