Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM

Repetitive dominating thinking which persists despite efforts to get rid is called as obsession. You have problem of excessive thinkings about a particular thing and you are not able to control these thinkings. These cause stress and loss of sleep. Even you have habit of calling your boyfriend again and again. These symptoms suggest you are having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. OCD is a type of anxiety disorder. Treatment from a expert psychiatrist is needed for relief. Medicines like SSRIs are used in high doses in OCD. Fluoxetine, Paroxetine etc drugs are commonly used.
Thought Stop technique is one of important method use in psychology to decrease the thinking.
Consult a Psychiatrist for treatment.
