Intrusive thoughts, something I know you've been struggling with for a while, can get worse when we feel more "activated". Ramp up my anxiety and my OCD goes up with it. I'm yet to come across as OCDer on here say the opposite to that. But it makes sense when you consider how raising overall anxiety levels just brings more intense, and even new, symptoms of anxiety in general.
Really pleased to hear you have some success with this, Ben. That Mirt episode was a crusher.
