hello, my name is joe, i am a Ukranian boy in his late teens, My story is that i am paranoid about pregnancy, i always worry that my girlfriend is pregnant even though we never have sex due to ethical and religous beliefs. I am not paranoid about anything else at all, not exams, not friends, not ill relatives. Just pregnancy. I think, to be brutally honest, i need a big smack over the head and someone to tell me to get a grip, in the past i battled depression, that took mpdays of me just sitting alone just saying to myself 'what are you doing, your here, on your own, you need to get up, get out, your listening to music that you know is going to make you feel down, are looking for some macabre inertia' i was like this for a couple of days and then i got up and got a job :) im now doing something i love, i teach music at a small music school, not much, but enough for me. I am very proud of myself for overcoming this and so is my family. But now i have this paranoia that is plaguing my mind, I feel as if every little thing, every little sign that shes having lead toward pregnancy and that scares me, even though deep down i know she isnt i just always have this feeling hanging over me of what if she is, please help me

Hi Joe,
You should feel proud of your accomplishments- getting a job,working at something you enjoy and for managing your depression.
Now, you are facing another emotional challenge- anxiety that your girlfriend may be pregnant, when there is no reason that she could be.
I am not a psychologist or counselor. But, I think you need to identify why you worry about the possibility that she could become pregnant. I think you need to seek the help of a trained counselor, who can help you explore the reasons for your concerns.
