'I'm just a jealous guy'

My favourite John Lennon song. Unfortunately it also describes me in relationships. Not really strongly/aggressively - like I would never tell my partner to stop talking to someone.

More I am quick to want manogamy in the early stages of a relationship. Don’t do well in casual encounters.

Everybody is jealous to one extent or another.

I have jealousy to people in relationships

Why not me :frowning:

Edit. Only normies though

We even have delusion of jealousy in schizophrenia.

Nowadays we can label everything. :disappointed:

I felt that way before my psychosis and it got really bad when I became psychotic.

AFAIK, both jealousy and selfishness are natural inclination. Now I understand that it gets worse during psychosis.

This was really really bad. I spent all my waking hours trying to catch her in a lie, completely convinced she was cheating, even though I didn’t have any evidence. Then when psychotic I believed she was not only cheating, but trying to kill me to get rid of me.

When did you realize that you were psychotic?

At least you are much better now realizing that “this was really bad”.

I didn’t realize that until much much later, after I was on medication that actually worked (my first medication didn’t work), but I began to trust her again, little by little, after I called the police on her and she was still there for me and still let me in the house when I came home from the hospital.
