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.

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.
