It also seems that when I get one horrible thought under a control another one pops up and then it takes weeks for me to subdue that one! It seems I know exactly how to handle it but grow tired of the constant cycle of them.

Haha thats really good that you are able to to control them. And no, there is an absolute no possibility, that if you get numb from those thoughts and start doing it, like I said, when you think logically you can get over these thoughts. I remember my therapist telling me I won't need pills if I don't want them, it's really just a persons preference on that one. Intrusive thoughts are thought by people who don't have Pure-O, the difference is how we react to it. We have Pure-O mainly because we dwell on it (correct me if I'm wrong), as I theorize, its more of a chemical imbalance in your brain that needs time to remain settled over time. So don't worry, keep away from your triggers and keep rationalizing your thoughts, give your intrusive thoughts a funny voice, like Daffy Duck or something. That's what I used to it. You'll conquer it!
