Question Posted Wednesday December 24 2008, 10:38 pm
So...I have this problem with jealousy...it's not a healthy amount either. If someone gets something I want, I get jealous. It's as simple as that. I've tried everything to get rid of it. Like, noticing the things I have right now, cherish everyone for their differences...all that stuff. But it doesn't work. I get obsessed with it and end up feeling worthless and like I have nothing. Any ideas...?
