Can't stop this obsession with my boyfriend's ex?

i have these mixed conditions?
i sometimes feel that me and my boyfriend's ex are alike, which makes me want to throw up and makes me hate myself. and somewhat i feel disgusted.
at other times, i feel she's way better, prettier and all. and that makes my self-confidence decrease.
i start to think poorly of myself, and self-hatred strikes again.

sometimes i notice a resemblance in her attitude and my boyfriend's. since they had been together for a while. and that also disgusts me. i mean i always end up feeling sick.

i want to stop comparing and i want to stop stalking her, i tried am awful at that.
i need someone to slap me whenever i do and fuck i'm just too insecure these days.

i don't want to talk to my boyfriend with that because like i really am not comfortable of sharing those ideas with him. but i'm really anxious all the time with that.
help?

@kkaous11 I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Dealing with these comparisons can be really exhausting and overwhelming. You're not "crazy" for feeling this way many people have this same experience. You are aware of it and want to stop it which is a huge step to making progress. What tends to bring up these comparisons?
