I have not found a forum specific to my problem, but since it has to do with my relationship, I thought I'd post here. I recenty replied to a post about a man whose wife constantly thinks he's cheating on her. I know how she feels. I have delusional disorder. I constantly think my boyfriend is cheating on me. I know he isn't, but when ever I am away from him, or if there is an attractive female in view, I loose it. I don't know why, but I can't stop these feelings. My therapist says it's delusional. Just like people that think they are being followed by the CIA or PI"S etc. I am about to loose my boyfiend b/c he can't deal with my accusations anymore. I don't blame him. I wouldn't put up with anyone treating me the way I treat him. I am doing everything I am supposed to, with regards to my therapy, (rational thinking, not letting my thoughts which lead to my emotions, which lead to my actions get out of control) but I just can't. The only thing I've found that almost helps is to leave the situation. Like right now. We were sitting outside with a bunch of friends when they started talking about last weekend when my boyfriend went to a bar with "the guys". (We broke up because of one of my "episodes" on Thursday last week). The only way I could deal with it was to leave the situation. I know nothing happened when we were apart, I know how much he loves me, I just git this feeling in the pit of my stomach and I loose it. If there's anyone else out there that has the same disorder I would really love to hear from you. I am very early into my therapy, and could use some tips, and some understanding. People think it's something you can just stop. You can't.
