Oh my goodness. LOL
There is a psychological phenomena called "projection" that comes out of our sub-conscious shadow (see Carl Jung). I would suggest you look it up. Your boyfriend is stating his own insecurities and fears and projecting them on to you. Understand that it is his "fears" and his "shame" he believes about himself. He wonders if he is crazy but is to insecure to accept his deepest inner fears.
Your okay, and remember that we're all crazy, that is the human condition.
