Honestly your best option is to just roll with the images treat them like if you were to think what am I going to get at the store today don’t give them a second thought just let them go and come as they please because the more you try to suppress them or reduce/get rid of them … the stronger and faster they will come back … I wish you all the luck … remember nothing last forever

@Blueberrycows What if I’m in the middle of doing something I love and an intrusive image comes in? I just ignore it and continue what I’m doing? It’s like OCD sends them especially when I’m doing something I love because it knows I’ll stop what I’m doing because I don’t want to do those things with those images in my head…

With intrusive thoughts you kind of have learn to not do any compulsions and treat them like how I imagine people without OCD have intrusive thoughts. By have the thoughts and not caring and just moving on.  it’s hard work to get to that point, but you can do it.  Sorry that the images with your ocd can be truly terrible. Stay strong and work on treating your ocd

Images coming back again
My intrusive images were an absolute nightmare back in April. I honestly don’t even know how it got better, I had written a letter to God begging for help. Well recently idk if it’s because I’ve been stressed a lot again and ruminating on a lot of pocd related things from the past the make me worry, but the images have started again and even though they are repulsive and awful, I feel like I’m not reacting how I should. I think I just got to where I would just try to like blink it away and ignore it, but I feel so bad if I’m not feeling absolute shame and guilt. I feel like I feel too normal and sometimes I forget that if anyone knew besides people on here, I can’t imagine what people would think, but I also know it’s not who I am so I feel like I don’t worry as much as I should. Also, I can’t stop worrying about fanfiction I read when I was like 16 and 17. It really bothers me because I keep wondering did I imagine this one character my age? Why did I read this? Did I even know what aging up was then, and even if I did it’s wrong and gross anyway but if I didn’t age this character up then that’s awful. And i just can’t let go but I think it’s triggering me to have the images so idk what to do.
