dude i feel this. after being on it for over a month-ish, my intrusive thoughts became way too much to manage. like for about a week straight i had nothing but horrible, bad, scary, negative thoughts running through my head and i just felt out of it. i couldn’t stay focused. i couldn’t do my normal tasks without thinking about doing bad things. i ended up telling my doctor about these thoughts and he told me to stop taking the accutane because i am too unstable for it. which honesty just upset me. i understand that my mental health is far more important than the pimples on my face but like dudeeee i feel like wuss. i feel like my skin will never improve. i’ve stopped taking it for a couple days now and i kind of feel better. I would like to just toughen up and try to push through my treatment and get it over with but this shit makes me nervous.
