H-m-m-m-m... I say... stroking my non-existent beard... I've been watching a TV series titled: "The Brain with David Eagleman" on our local Public Broadcasting System (PBS) station ( U.S.A.) One of the points Eagleman has been making is that the "subconscious mind", in other words portions of the brain to which we do not have conscious access, exerts much more control over who we are & what we do than we would typically imagine. So, yes, I would say that there may be things stored in areas of your brain to which you have no conscious access that are at odds with what you have stored in your conscious mind... those areas of the brain which are available to you. Also, over time, we tend to wear "pathways" into our brains that electro-chemical signals typically run along. They're like ruts in an unpaved road. After a while, they can become so deep that it's difficult to steer out of them... Please pay the receptionist on your way out...

Here....take a few of these and see you in 2 weeks...

Honesty this is true. If you keep telling yourself that you don't want to be here...
How are you going to change that belief?

Kind of like you are what you eat. But in this case it is, you are what you think.

That is what your subconscious is telling you.

Damn Skeezyks, you beat me to the stroking of the non-existent beard! LMAO

My 00.02?

Our thoughts are just as much habit as the rest of our being.

I have experienced what you've described since I was 14 and not in any particular mood state, and it has worried many a professional even though I had zero intent and they're automatic.

I have however noticed that they become stronger and my OCD causes them to run on a loop while I am depressed, which fuels my depression....

So I have decided to combat these thoughts with 3 positive ones, to help strengthen more positive mental habits.

They are not gone these thoughts of mine, just this morning I pictured the bus rolling down the side of the bridge on my way to work, but they happen less frequently, and with much less intensity.

You sound pretty bummed out. You okay?
