Penning an emotional note on Instagram, opening up about his feelings of self-harm, Imran Khan wrote, "** Trigger Warning Self Harm ** Sorry about the silence… when you’ve lived so long in darkness, the sunshine can feel unbearably bright at first.

Imran Khan also explained how he was not able to accept the love of his fans and tended to focus on the "ugly words to punish himself with".

Imran Khan wrote, "I couldn’t absorb that much positivity, so instead I went looking for the ugly words, the hurtful ones that sound more like the Voice in my head, because that feels more familiar to me. I checked Reddit (still reliable), the comments sections of news articles, wherever I could find words sharp enough to cut myself with." 

On a closing note, Imran Khan shared a positive message with his fans and wrote, "We all have scars, old wounds that still ache. But love heals. Love is empowering and uplifting, and if you are fortunate enough to receive the kind of love that I have, I think it starts to fill in those scars. It covers you in a layer of protective armor. You may never fully grasp the extent to which your love empowers me but know that I am grateful. You make me feel 304.8 cm tall."
