Physiological cause of jealousy?
-
I have a lot of jealousy and I’m wonder if there’s something to take that could help. Lisuride, cypro and other Dope-ag, and sere-antags help to some degree. Anyone have more specific insight into this?

I have experience with severe jealousy, that I knew rationally I was in the wrong for thinking but it completely took over my thoughts and would continue to on and off for a very long time.
What has helped me personally was doing things that lowered my inflammation (for me, removing starches, drinking lots of milk, aspirin) but also something that I had great success with was to write down basically my expression of how I felt and why I felt that way as honestly as possible.
It's something I had tried to talk to the person with before but never left me psychologically satisfied. In your situation you may be able to express yourself honestly face to face but I couldn't do that in my case.
Ever since I wrote what I wanted to say, my thoughts on the matter no longer linger with me like they used to for hours before. I know this sounds like mainstream bullshit but it might be worth a shot, especially to write it all down at a moment when you are ruminating on the feeling intensely.

@Milk-Destroyer Thank you. It's definitely not something I want to bring up with the person. The inflammation makes sense. I think it stems from feelings of inferiority, like I won't be able to do what the person I'm jealous of is doing. Whenever I start working hard, but am self-focused and not trying to keep up with them, the anxiety and jealousy seems to go away.
