I have what I would say is ‘Pure O’ since I was a child 50 something years , Since having medication changed it seems to be different in the way of becoming more severe. I just get on top of one obsessive thought by desensitising to it by following advice in a self -help book , but it quickly gets replaced by another intrusive thought/image which gets obsessive.
I find I am constantly having to picture /imagine the thoughts , just so I can say to myself that I would never do that and never want to, I then feel better for a little while but the pictures and scenarios are horrible and distressing , Im getting really upset about needing to do this, Has anyone else had this happen to them and has anyone got any advice how to stop. thank you
