> I sometimes get disturbing obssesive/compulsive thoughts. The most common one is I'll be sitting there listening to someone talk and I'll get this sudden urge to throw my drink in their face for no apparent reason. In the past these were more disturbing to me, but I was somewhat relieved a bit when I found out that these types of thoughts are not uncommon in people with mood disorders, not just OCD but anxiety and depression also (I suffer from depression).

The thoughts can be trained. It takes a while, it does take a while, but if you're not so threatened by them, because you do recognize them as something you don't really want, they will diminish .. learn to trust yourself, you know, with love, and with vulnerability, and you won't feel like you want to crush it?
