Oh, it is a VERY outstanding task! It's hard to deal with these thoughts that seem to not belong with you, they evoke bad emotions because you know it's not part of you. It's definitely hard, but I'm learning to control it and cope with it. Well, that's OCD for ya! But, I think I'm getting there

Hi Zack,
I don't know about OCD but what you describe is pretty much the function of thoughts per se. They nurture and feed our self identity, telling us who we are and creating a dialogue backdrop for our lives.

Once dissolved, there is open clarity and peaceful awareness. There is no need to give them a foothold, we just do it out of habit and because we know no better.
