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.

what do your intrusive thoughts feel like?
for me, it's like there's two folders of my thoughts, 'main thoughts' and 'sub thoughts' and it's like a background voice of my background voice, you know? like so quiet and irrelevant but it's still here and i can try to ignore it but not fully and it feels like it's just really nasty, like it's warring with me, never shuts up and just keeps nagging me with those thoughts

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.
