I have a re-occurring image of an exacto knife going into my eye. This is a real problem and it causes me emotional stress... i just get this picture in my head and can't get it out!! Can anyone help? Maybe a technique to get rid of scary images? Thanks!

It's not like it's a serious mental problem that has been going on forever or anything, I just saw an exacto knife the yesterday and the thought popped into my head.

Be strong and think the image over and over again for exactly 90 seconds. The reoccurring image will eventually get rid of itself with its frequent and dull pose. After the 90 second treatment, take a deep breath and have a tall glass of water and try to indulge in activities with people you are most comfortable with. Like play a game, go outside for fresh air, or any activity you like. This will help you get over the image. It's also good if you tell a wise and close friend or family member about this problem.

Ooh, I did this too. Looked at harlequin babies and couldn't believe they were even real. I just had to distance myself from it, because there isn't a thing in the world I can do about them. I comforted myself with knowing that they always die, so they don't suffer for long. That may sound cruel, but it's the hard truth and better than the though of them living. If you're so bothered by whatever you looked at, try watching a movie that really pulls you in. Just giving your brain time off from thinking about it can help alot. And know that modern medicine can ease a lot of suffering as well as fix many natal issues and deformities. PS Don't look at harlequin babies or you'll have that feeling all over again!

Well, I keep seeing a needle coming towards my eye, but that is because I had to get shards of metal dug out of my eye with a needle (not fun). Just try not to think about it. I have visions of 6 guys beating on me and beating on me until I am all bloody and barely moving. Just try to not think about it anymore. Good Luck.
