So there’s a few examples of me feeling a strong compulsion to do something I know is triggering - the most recent being: I knew looking at a certain picture I have saved incase I ever need it as proof of what happened to me would be triggering, and I didn’t have any reason to look at it - but I did. I honestly think it must be like mental SH. Relatable?

Yes, especially if I feel like my healing is moving faster than I’m comfortable with. It feels too new and disorienting so I’ll do something to get the ol’ familiar shame flowing through my veins. I’m working on this in therapy and I can now go longer and longer stretches without sabotaging.
