Buzzybee, have you always been like this or just with him?
A friend of mine was like that, she was very jelous, she wouldn not confess it to us but she ruined relationships purely because of that. She finally went to talk to a counsellor and then had some cognitive something therapy. It turned out that she had had a traumatic childhood, with very possessive controlling parents and a neurotic mother. After a few months, she changed for the better. Still on the jealous side, but not irrational, like she used to.

Go and talk to someone, seriously. I am sure you will be fine.

Definitely time to look for some treatment- it must a very unhappy thing for you to feel, as well as the damage it will do to your relationship. Cognitive behaviour therapy sounds a good suggestion, it is basically learning techniques to control your own thought patterns, so you don't have to get stuck obsessing over thoughts that hurt you. Should be available on the NHS- speak to your GP.

Agree with Twiglett, you need to get a grip, probably by getting some help for your problem. At least you are aware that you are being completely irrational, but you need to sort it out before you drive your bf away.
