Unwarranted suspicion and excessive jealousy are pathologies

  He and she had been hovering in front of the clinic for quite some time, looking as if they had something to consult. I finished seeing the last patient and asked them if they had anything to do and could come in and talk slowly. They sat in front of me with embarrassment on their faces. I took one look at them and knew in my heart that this pair must be young people who had just fallen in love. I told them not to be nervous and to trust the doctor. He looked at her and carefully spoke about the reason for their consultation today.  They were third-year students at a medical school in the city, and both were student council officers in their year. The two did not know each other, but because of their work, they often discussed and planned activities of the grade together, and gradually went from knowing each other to being familiar and fell in love. Soon after they established their relationship, the classmates knew about it and thought they were a good match. Their relationship developed quickly, and they both loved each other deeply. However, recently the two of them have often been in conflict, the original cheerful and lively her become very narrow-minded. As a student council officer, he often needs to contact with other female students, she began to still accept, then especially in the last two months, she became particularly sensitive, as long as he contact with another female students, even if it is to say a word, also caused her unwarranted suspicion, that he does not love her, and has a new girlfriend, no matter how he explained the confession, she did not accept. She told him more than once that “if one day he no longer loves her, she will jump from the upper floor of the school library”, and they were both very distressed by this.  After listening to their stories, I asked each of them to independently answer the same question: How did you two get together? and instructed them to come back the next day with the questions they had thought of.  There is nothing wrong with young people wanting to be faithful and devoted in love after they have established a relationship. However, some people lack confidence and understanding of each other, once the other party contact with other people of the opposite sex will be unwarranted suspicion, leading to the breakup of the relationship, unfounded suspicion is the great enemy of love. Excessive jealousy in love is also one of the common negative factors, that is, people often called the “jealousy”. Most people with this mindset are vain, narrow-minded, suspicious and possessive. They do not want to see their lovers interact with other people of the opposite sex, often catching wind of the suspicion, unwarranted suspicion, damage to their feelings. Some can even develop into jealous delusions, from suspicion, jealousy to conviction, in order to find evidence that the other party is not faithful and dedicated, to take tracking and stalking, lure to force a confession, etc., so that the other party to admit, some pay the price of life.  Suspicion and jealousy, beyond a certain limit, are extremely harmful, and it is recommended to see a psychological clinic as soon as possible when you cannot hold yourself. To overcome pathological suspicion or perverted jealousy, we must first try to free ourselves from the subjective world of our own imagination. People in love should exchange more ideas and treat each other sincerely in order to understand and trust each other. This is an old saying: “If you know each other for a long time, don’t doubt each other”. Secondly, the suspicious party should also pay attention to the contact with the opposite sex in the grasp of proportion, to distinguish the line between love and friendship.  The modern medical treatment for jealousy is only a lifelong cure for heart disease. When combined with other symptoms, such as depression, irritability, insomnia, etc., we can consider the appropriate application of drugs to improve the symptoms, such as the treatment of antidepressants and anxiety drugs such as Glivec, Prozac, and Sellett. However, if the suspicion develops into jealous delusions, hospitalization should be considered.  Love is a special stage that every young person must go through. In this special stage, due to the exclusive nature of love, suspicion and jealousy are created along with the establishment of love, so every pair of young people who are in love should face this psychology correctly.  Psychologists recommend: 1. Lovers should respect, trust and adore each other, and it is especially important to maintain a sincere and equal relationship with each other. Mutual trust is the cornerstone of love, modern society, the interaction between the opposite sex is inevitable, as people in love, to fully trust each other, leaving each other enough space for human interaction, to know that rebellious psychology is human nature. After a breakup, you should overcome the weaknesses of your character, strengthen the shaping of your character, and develop an open-minded, optimistic and open-minded character traits is an important part of preventing jealousy.  2. To establish the belief of self-reliance and self-improvement. Failure in love is just a setback in one’s life, it will make oneself more mature, be brave enough to get out of the lost love and start a new life for oneself, and should not have revenge thoughts and behaviors.  3, after the breakup to do self-respect, self-love. Once the other side said the breakup, any condescending, begging the other side back to the practice is futile, but also cause the other side and the surrounding people to laugh and despise, so that their own body and mind suffered a greater blow; maintain their own dignity, rational and generous, reasonable, will often win people’s understanding and sympathy, will also make the other side to reflect.  4, maintain a calm, rational mind, friendly break-up, politely explain the reasons for the break-up, respect his feelings for the other party, to avoid blind unwarranted suspicion, and even resentment.  Finally, caution people in love not to be emotional, even in spite of the law and social morality, using extreme methods to seek revenge, if it is true, both hurt each other, but also buried themselves, there is a heart often see a psychiatrist, to drive away the dark clouds on the road to love – suspicion and jealousy.
