Intrusive thoughts one after another

Today was a day that OCD demanded from my life. It started off normally but since breakfast I started having intrusive thoughts. By the time I was free from one such thought, another one replaced it. This kept happening over and over again until just before dinner. Fortunately I was able to keep my compulsive rituals to a minimum. As I am writing this, I am as close as possible to a state of mental peace, for which I AM GRATEFUL. TO EVERYONE WHO IS SUFFERING IN ANY WAY, PLEASE DON'T LOSE HOPE.

I don't know if this is helpful or will work, but I heard in group therapy that holding an ice cube or taking a hot or cold shower might help. Basically anything to sort of shock your system. Best wishes!
