Hi everyone,

I'm new here and I'm 19 years old from the UK.

Back in January, I admitted to my partner of two years that I had flirted and sent photos to another guy through FaceBook, he accused me of cheating on him, well asked, which then spiraled out of control and led me to believe that I had done and that I had forgotten about it.

I began hunting through every male that I had ever spoken too asking them if anything had happened and re-assuring myself time after time that I was just spooked by the whole situation. It didn't stop there.

Now, my main concern is the fact that every time I speak to someone, I hear my voice in my head saying irrational things about this person. It's only been happening for the last six weeks or so, and it's beginning to destroy my relationship as it's making my boyfriend feel upset, unwanted and unloved.

I love my boyfriend to bits, and he has been there for me the entire time that I've been going through this.

I just need to know if anyone else experiences this, as I feel so alone and isolated from the world.

I'm on 100mg of Sertraline for depression as it is and I'm currently awaiting a date for my therapy to start.

Does anyone have any info in the mean time?

Thank you.

I'd call the person who prescribed the Sertraline and explain about the voices and see what they suggest you do.

First things first -- I really don't consider what you did as "cheating." All you did was TALK to this person and send a picture. So what? There was no physical contact, and no dating. That's what *I* consider as cheating. So I'd forget THAT incident and let it go.

As for the medication, I have to agreen IceCreamKid -- that stuff doesn't agree with you, and you're obviously reacting badly to it. Tell your doctor about what's happening, and you need to be switched to something else. You shouldn't be hearing "voices" etc., so talk to your doc.

I wish you the best -- God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
