The green eyed monster is eating me...?
For the first time in my life, I am starting to break because of an emotion that I cannot control.
For a while now, anger and jealousy are consuming me because of a guy that I think I am jealous of and in return, it manifests itself in anger. Also, the stress has manifested into chest pain already.
How do you defeat this overwhelming emotion?
I am not exactly sure what I am jealous about him (I am a guy also btw). Its just that this is the very first time I felt this much jealousy and anger. Normally, these emotions are something I could control but this is getting out of hand...
I don't know... I am trying to "play" with him by turning people against him (I am a very persuasive person). I think that without the source, I can be free...

Jealousy stems from insecurity. You want something that this guy has and you want it so badly that it becomes anger. You are smart to reach out for help at this time. It's already become so bad that you're having chest pain, you definitely don't want it to get any worse. Find a mental health professional in your area and set up an appointment with them immediately.

As you already know, jealousy is a really bad things, and I know its so easy o say but yet so hard to do, you really need to stop thinking about that man, he is not worth it (you have put exactly what it is you are jeanlous of) other peoples happiness should not be something that makes you unhappy, becaause you will never be happy, and that person who is causing you unhappiness has won, and it wont even effect him,
Just try not to think about him, or what he is doing, start concentrating on your life, your health, and everything and everyone around you that means something to you.
You cant do it over night, but whenever you think about him, get a stress ball, or go to the gym, and use a punch bag, just to release all the anger, before you hurt someone or yourself.
Does he know you are jealous of him? can you explain a bit more about it?
Good luck
Maybe you should see a counsellor or something, to help you deal with it, as it sounds quite serious.

You need to get your mind off of him, and start focusing on yourself. Join a club or get a new hobby. Do something positive with your free time and get involved in something that you can be proud of yourself for. Jealousy is a horrible thing to feel--I hope you can move on quickly,. Good luck.

jealousy stems from total insecurity and extremely low self esteem usually...learn to love yourself and let it go as quickly as possible,or you may find yourself giving yourself heart problems as you get older...just learn how to forgive and forget, and love YOU
