That’s what I did with intrusive thoughts. After my first major episode the verbal abuse from the demons while the perceived sexual abuse was going on basically got burned into my brain and was on repeat 24/7, really wrecked me. One day I decided to write it all down so my brain wouldn’t have to repeat it anymore and it worked. I don’t even remember 90% of the stuff that was said to me now.
I didn’t always used to have a messed up view of sexuality. I really still have no idea what went wrong there. Ah well.
