    I used to get these thoughts every time I heard about someone commiting suicide. I used to think, what if I end up doing that?

    My best friend is a therapist, she said it is just another fear that results from anxiety. She told me that everytime the thought came to my mind I had to say to myself, it's a thought caused by anxiety and not dwell on it.

    It worked and now it doesn't happen to me.

    It truly is anxiety tricking your brain. Good luck!

      Yes, you are right, it is hard to train our mind, but you have to permanently remind yourself that it is anxiety tricking you. When these thoughts enter your mind tell yourself that and if possible call a friend or someone or do something that distract you, with time the thoughts decrease.

      You will be fine, take care ๐Ÿ˜˜
