I am not officially diagnosed as OCD, and I am new to the community.
Much of what I have read discusses anxiety provoking intrusive thoughts. I am having a recurring image come to me that provokes what I would call disgust more than anxiety. The image is of cuts or slashes on my skin, especially around my knees, but no damage is truly there. I see the image daily, sometimes it feels like very frequently, but it bothers me that it won't go away. I don't feel I'm going to harm myself or anything, but the image itself makes me very uncomfortable, as long as the feeling that it won't stop coming.
Does anyone have experience with images like this? Did you approach treatment the same way as for other intrusive thoughts? i.e. ERP, acceptance, etc...
