I had a real strong urge to act out today in the morning! I was in middle of davening and i wasnt so focused and the lust from the before(before joining gye) came flying in. I felt like such a lowlife thinking these thoughts with my teffilin on. I did then realize as i have seen so many times on gye that lust isnt like breathing! I look at it like a cloud passing by. A thought isnt reality and I dont have to buy into it! I had peace and quiet for a nice few days and the lust is really jumping in again. Please daven for me, I am not in control. I give my lust and thoughts over to Hashem.

He loves me and you!
Please Hashem give all of us your servants the brains to feel it!

can you identify anything else that has been changing in your life or mindframe that might have brought the lust back?
If you can identify something it may give you a clue as to what you can do to help keep the thoughts from coming back

If this happens at night, I would suggest to take an quick and extremely cold shower to knock it off. If this is during the day and a shower would not work out, then definitely call someone and let them know your situation. I don't know if this would work for you but it certainly works for me. Or, if you're into Chassidus, then you should open up a Tanya and read chapters: 27, 28, 29. The Alter Rebbe explains feelings so nicely and beautifully, it seems like he's talking to you. And you should get a Tanya with explanation, cause that would be a waste without it. He makes you feel ashamed (that's what Chassidus wants from a person).
Hopes this helps and good luck.
Cheers!
