Actually what you are referring to is something that is typically referred to as "pure O" (OCD). Here's a link to a YouTube video by California family therapist Kati Morton where Kati talks about pure O:

Also... there is a Buddhist technique I'm fond of which may be of some help in dealing with these experiences. It's referred to as "compassionate abiding". Here's a link to a mental-health-oriented description of the practice:

I hope you find it to be of benefit.
