Songs stuck in your head
Do you ever get a song stuck in your head or part of a song on repeat. Even if you don’t like the song. Then you wonder what this means about you bc you have this song in your head?

Yep! Try to listen to the song until it doesn't make you feel upset anymore.

Or just try to be cool with the song. "I might have this in my head all day and that's fine" OCD is kind of like a little sibling and it will keep pestering you until you stop giving it the attention it craves

Absolutely. Slightlt long comment here. So my intrusions recently have been around two shows. Up until recently, I was sure that while I enjoyed both shows A and B, I liked A better. That's how it was and I went about my life. However, since Nov last year, I had intrusive thoughts about whether I like show B better. It was a made rush of comparisons between the two because I know I like show A more but the brain is the brain right? So I started avoiding show B. Then I started doing exposures where I purposely listened to songs from show B and sat with the anxiety and discomfort. And those songs literally played in my head all day. It wont stop at all. It is exhausting.

Intrusive thoughts 24/7
Any one else deal with this? Like from the moment they wake up to the second they fall asleep, the intrusive thoughts are there?

Repeat thoughts
Anyone else have repeated thoughts that play that are negative. Basically a back and forth of you telling yourself you don't want X to happen but having a thought that slips saying you do. Like being stressed out one day and saying "man I wish I were dead". But instead of letting it roll through your mind and thinking nothing of it, you obsess if you actually want that outcome for yourself and you are now scared you'd fatally harm yourself whenever you feel anxious or stressed even though you know you wouldn't. So now I repeatedly get I wanna die stuck in my head and I feel the compulsive need to say no I don't to combat the thoughts and it happens throughout the day and even when I wake up.
simba.
