Spontaneous-intrusion diary
Use this only to record unexpected appearances of the same target visual image. Do not deliberately bring the image back to test it.
Days 1–7 capture near-term recurrence. Days 29–35 provide a later week-5 window, similar in timing to an outcome window used in a recent clinical trial. This sheet is not a diagnostic or validated clinical instrument.

Week 5 · days 29–35
Start this section four weeks after Day 1. Record prospectively rather than repeatedly reconstructing missed days. If you fill in a missed day later, mark it with an asterisk so you can distinguish a backfilled estimate from a same-day entry.

| 31 | ____________ | ____________ |

Do not infer meaning from a single day. Recurrence can fluctuate for many reasons, and this experimental exercise has not been validated as an OCD treatment.
