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
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

Intrusive Thoughts
This is hard to admit, but I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts where the central theme is racism. I don’t use racial slurs but my brain worries that I have said something that hurts or offends someone and now I find myself analyzing every social interaction.

harmful & scary intrusive thoughts
does anyone else get really vivid intrusive thoughts of the person who you are talking to (or close to physically) just randomly striking you violently? i keep getting them when i’m just talking to my dad one on one in the car & i get a flash of intrusive thoughts of him grabbing my hair & shoving my face in the dashboard. it gets me so anxious :’)
