SH warning




I have a really severe and bad sensitivity to self harm/dangerous acts (mostly when it’s written out or drawn in heavy explicit detail with no warnings whatsoever, or used as a thumbnail for a YouTube video). I flagged a YT video that made me uncomfortable +most likely violated guidelines for depicting suicide. I’m a person that doesn’t like breaking rules, I try to follow them to a T.

This bothers me because I suffered with really trivial and weird thoughts that never went away for a good chunk of last year, which I never want to go through again, most dealing with me destroying possessions I own like my iPad or my iPhone (they are not cheap to replace). I have a friend that’s 14male that has a similar reaction to sensitive content like this, to the point he blocks ppl that post heavy SH content even with warnings. Seeing SH content gives me an intrusive feeling that I should do said action to unsee what I have seen. My medication (my lifeline) is starting to run low and I have an appointment lined up to get a new refill on it soon.

If I go off the meds for one day, I’m screwed, both physically and mentally. I refused to touch any of my devices as I was afraid I would harm the device and that my thoughts would win. I can draw, but I don’t like drawing venting/macabre content unless it’s for a character or story I’m writing/doing fanart of.

any tips? I want to interact with other ppl that like South Park that don’t post content that violates community guidelines.
