P.s i think my fears revolve around a phobia , because its been a week with these thoughts and the way i keep imagining the fear of me hurting myself in one specific way is mentioned in the triggering post i read , that i have a phobia of ..so i think this isnt me being suicidal its just me being really phobic

Im not sure its because of the triggering post i saw , or the acne medication’s side effects , but recently i have been feeling really dark, and getting these scary thoughts about hurting myself in the same way i read in a post ,it wouldnt be suicidal if its in one soecific way , for exmaple imdont get these thoughts when i see a knife of a medication , just the thing i read about is a phobia to me and its terrifying ... its something i have a phobia about.., im not suicidal but i have this fear that i would lose control over my body and mind and hurt myself .. i know deep down im fine and that i cant lose control , i dont want to hurt myself so why do these thoughts keep bothering me. I have been feeling really low recently and i need someone to reassure me and give me support , i ask for alot i know but i need this ❤️❤️

Hello, Kevin

Anxiety is like the elephant in the room. Once we see it there it's impossible not to see it. We really need new things to envision. Hard for me to explain. But i'll try to research it... something heard a long time ago.

For now picture something pleasing to you. Focus on it & pray, it will be okay

We all care about you & don't want you to be feeling so miserable. :)

I'll be back ~~~

To be honest, Kevin... i think i mixed up something i read about the elephant .

It was a long time ago.

What i wrote is only my opinion...and there are many opinions, but here's an interesting comment...

"I think that morning was when I realized I'd grown up with an elephant in every room of my life. It was practically our family pet."

I think it shows us something about our childhood, which is hard to forget.

Hope this shows you're not alone...Anyway, GOD is kind and he understands.
