A trick is thinking on that new intrusive thought and saying ''Oh a new one.. Anyways bye''.. While you look at it. Then do whatever you were doing. Recognizing that intrusive thoughts are normal (everyone has intrusive thoughts) and that they are just passing by clouds, will probably help

I feel the same, I personally was in a cycle for ten months of 12 hours a day looping.. managed to be rid of it for 2 whole days and it's already back. I hope you find what does work for you and then let me know lol.

It’s okay. OCD waxes and wanes. Just remember, don’t engage with the thoughts. Don’t try to fix them. Don’t try to fight them off. Don’t do anything with them. My therapist at NOCD told me to imagine my thoughts like leaves falling off a tree. You can notice them falling, but you just let them be there and float down the river on their own. If you don’t fight the thoughts (and just let them run freely in your head), they are not so exhausting.

Intrusive thoughts (21+ please)
I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?

Just feeling tired
So over all of this. Why do periods have to make everything so much worse. I keep thinking that I can get over an intrusive thought and then the next one comes in. My brain tries to make be obsess over something that i've already obsessed about and moved on from. Wish this could be over.
