OCD has many ways of sneaking up on you. The ERP way is to close your eyes often- allow those things to be there and you don't need to "do" anything to try and stop them or get rid of them. Just let them be there and don't engage or try and figure out why they are there. Everyone has these same things- you just get stuck on them. They will eventually pass if you do not engage them. You can do this.

running out of strength..
today again...erp and a strong feeling that it somehow arousel me and creates adrenaline, and the longer I expose myself to the thoughts, the more wild and detailed the images in my head become, accompanied by the feeling that I like reality as well...

intrusive or not
are they truly intrusive thoughts or am i thinking and creating automatically graphic images that i dont want to think? i think it happens because it's too easy once you're anxious abt it. i dont enjoy it. i just saw a trigger and had a graphic disturbing se&ual image in my head.
