Can anxiety cause jealousy?

I feel like anxiety is ruining my life. Over the past year I have been dealing with extreme anxiety. I’ve been experiencing thoughts & feelings that I don’t want (like in intrusive thoughts) but I’m not able to control. Ive even cried to my mom about it because I just feel like this horrible person. I’ve even started to experience jealousy. I have never ever been a jealous person in my entire life. Its mostly towards my sister. I get mad at the relationship my sister’s bf & my mom have, all because my bf doesn’t have that same type of relationship with her. I honestly don’t even care, but the thoughts I think make me care (if that makes any since). I love my mom & sister more then anything, & I don’t ever want to be jealous of anything about them.

Is there any way I can get rid of this? I would rather get rid of it naturally (without medication), but I’m not sure where or how to start. I need this to go, because I haven’t felt like my normal self over a year.
