Hi Kiara0lily,

You're very welcome. I'm glad to hear you are going to see your gp
tomorrow. I'm sure your doctor will be able to help you. Be totally
honest about what you're feeling and the images you're imagining.
The only way your doctor can really help you is if he knows about
what you refer to as violent images. I'm sure he won't think you're
losing it , as you say, Kiara. I wish you well.

Thank you for your advice

i just do not know why i am getting these images i can't think of any reason why i would be. I was wondering if was possibly linked to me having aspergers somehow. I will give my doctor a call tomorrow i just do not want to sound like i am loosing the plot i am fine otherwise just very anxious person and i have to have things a acrtain way and ordered a cartain way which is linked to my asperger as i have high social anxiety and rreally like having a routiene to stick to. But i do not want to harm myself but yeah i cant help the thought if i just did it then they would stop and i am finding them quite disteressting to as it is not very pleasant at all. I just want it to stop and know why i am getting these images. But i will go see my gp i hope he don't think i am loosing it.

Hi Kiara0lilly,

I just finished reading your comments. You say lately you are getting violent images of you hurting yourself and jumping from a balcony.  You say it's
starting to feel like if you hurt yourself, you think these images would stop.
Please do not cause yourself harm, Kiara. My suggestion is to perhaps
make an appointment with your family doctor. Perhaps a friend of yours
could take you to that appointment. It sounds to me like you may need
some professional guidance from your family doctor. I would tell your
doctor how you're feeling and these images you're imagining. See what
he or she thinks. Maybe your family doctor can give you a referral
to a counsellor. It sounds to me like that might be quite helpful to you.
You said you have Aspburgers and IBS. I know what Aspburgers is,
but I don't know what IBS is. Please don't act on your fantasties of
harming yourself. That's all they are fantasties. Stay strong. I hope
my suggestions will prove helpful for you.   Eve
