Hello ccseven7: Welcome to NeuroTalk! I trust you will find the time you spend here to be of benefit. 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:

Pure Obsessional OCD (Pure O) - Kati Morton on mental illness - YouTube

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:


Relieve Distress By Allowing It: Compassionate Abiding 11 | Mindset: Perspective Is Everything

I hope you find it to be of benefit.
