So, I do not know if this exact issue was posted here. Also, I’m not sure if it’s more of a relationship thread, or more of this thread.

The following mostly happens after I already or become fatigued, tired , or depressed.

I always think of the worse possible situation that could be happening, Whether if I hear people arguing and something falls, I think for example that someone got hurt or got seriously hurt and am waiting for this drastic scream to happen or loud NOOO!. Like in the movies when two people are fighting and one gets hurt or killed accidentally.

Also, If my girlfriend meets a new friend somewhere, (and it’s a guy)
I automatically compare myself to that person and begin thinking "What if
they are better for her then I." or get paranoid of cheating which makes me
come off as non-trusting. I also hold back from going over and saying hi when shes meeting new dudes
in fear of annoying her like I'm checking up (I have talked to her about this and she said that going over would not be annoying or come of as so.), Also sit there and think that
maybe if I isolate myself long enough I'll be forgotten and there won’t have
to be a big deal of worrying about me anymore and she can be with a guy
who is not like me, and I’ll slowly be erased from the picture.

But here is the thing, I realize that this happens. After its over, I think to myself
"Why did I think that?“
”It makes no sense."
Then I become fine again and sometimes when she meets new people I am totally fine with it even if it’s a guy.

I tried holding back and sometimes I get over it on my own and feel fine
And tried talking to her about this too, Which seems to help, She was very understanding at first and now I know she is getting annoyed/less understanding. Because It keeps happening

What can I do to help prevent my mood swings and anxious thoughts?
Do I need medicine or just keep talking and try and fight this on my own?

Things that are also affecting my mood are my current job which I m trying to get out of, my living situation, and my career goals.
