Very classic intrusive thoughts. They suck!

Yes. I've had those that pop up more often than the awful events I've witnessed and experienced. I realized it's because I didn't let it really play through so when I do for those intrusive thoughts or Flashbacks without adding additional content to it, the brain finally registers "Oh so that's where I archive it, it's a negative memory in the ew Gross section". It's some kind of inefficient bureaucracy happening there that makes it difficult with the lack of logic, emotional and communicating barriers, yet very simple conclusion. If only it was just a light switch with "NOPE!" yet the brain acts like it can't do any next step until it knows what to do with that scene.

Omg yes or I get horrible images of me on a mugshot and the thought”that’s gonna be you soon” pops up it’s the worst

I used to get these at night, I dislike gore and before I sleep I would be thinking something nice and then blam, a horrible gorey image just interrupts. Movie scenes were a factor in these

Oh definitely! But the extremely violent or gorey scenes are about the people I am closest too. My mom, Dad, Brother and Girlfriend. It really really sucks. When it first started I didn’t know ocd was a thing. Definitely thought I was evil/loosing my mind. Something that helped me was learning about “the ironic process of the mind or The imp of the mind” which is just the idea that the more you try to not think about something the more you end up thinking about it. Essentially the more you push back against your thoughts the more they show up.
