Anybody deal with this and come out the other end? If so, what is this symptomatic of? OCD or something else? Thanks.
I get those kinds of thoughts and when I do I either try to immediately change my thought to a positive or I just get busy doing something. It's terrible, the things that pop into my head. I'll have to check out this Jungian shadow, I've never heard of it.
