Holy ... insert strongest swear applicable

Having just read a very interesting comic/essay on viruscomix.com (it's safe, no worries) where the characters talk about 'intrusive thoughts'

They provide some leads on this and I started reading

And Edison's perfection started to glow

My whole life... all my dark thoughts... some one else has these and lives with them

All my anxieties, personal demons, quiet regrets, fettering fears and shameful personal acts... they have a name

It appears to be a variant of OCD and the thoughts can trigger depression and self-loathing because of what acts or behaviours they shout out to us

It has a name

And if it has a name, you can kill it

Having clarity over a condition is certainly a path to knowing what steps to take to manage it.

Many with other health conditions say though the diagnosis itself isn't ideal, yet, being in a state of limbo can feel much worse. Why not for feeling that way about emotional health?

It's more of a symptom. I think a lot of us have them.
