What sort of thoughts do you have about your rapport with your boyfriend?

How do you become sure he is indifferent?

If these are obsessive ruminations, the most logical way to deal with them is with ERP. What happens when you agree with the thoughts?

These thoughts are causing you anxiety, so the obvious medication recommendation is a benzodiazapine. To actually reduce the obsessing, an SSRI or SNRI would be the obvious choice, but if you can't tolerate them, try any of the following (they've all been shown to reduce obsessive thinking):

Pindolol
Lyrica/Gabapentin
Keppra
Buspar
Dextroamphetamine
Prazosin
Ondansetron
atypical antipsychotics
