Any songs you may want to share that just feel like they speak of your experience with OCD? I use Linkin Park's music to cope a lot, and lately I've been listening to 'Crawling' on repeat...

For me, I go to Linkin Park when I’m feeling really frustrated or misunderstood about life, they’re normally great for that. However when my OCD gets the best of me, it’s normally a feeling of pure melancholy & head fog rather than frustration, so I try to turn on something more uplifting. When I had my worst OCD experience, I eventually got really into John Mayer and Jack Johnson bc they were both so positive.
@yun444g Totally understandable. When I feel the sorrow of OCD, I also listen to 'Iridescence' by Linkin Park, or 'Heavy'. It all depends how I feel, because sometimes it's anxiety and sometimes it's sadness.
@12354462 Iridescent* my bad I'm super tired lol
These are kind of specific, but the song I was never young- of Montreal, Lets do everything for the first time forever-of Montreal, Rose Robert- of Montreal, Something to Believe- Weyes Blood, Remember my Name- Mitski, They dont really have things to do eith ocd, but like specifc lines in them really resonate with how I feel with my obsession, OR how I wish I could feel if I didnt have the obsessions. Dirty Realism by mouse on the keys also, but thats just because of the build up 😭 there arent any lyrics to that song but I love using music to process emotions and to apply different and personal meanings to songs. I havent listened to Linkin Park in so long your post made me remember them! lol
@pronut I'll add those to my 'listen' playlist! I love getting new things to listen to. I love music for that particular reason aswell, haha
Nothing but thieves - your blood Especially the middle part. Amazing band and song. I know it’s probably nothing to do with mental health but it speaks to me 😂

What are some songs, movies, tv shows, books that make you feel safe? For me I have a playlist of songs that I add to over time. I only have three on there at the moment but they help me so much. (Something) by The Microphones Black Wave by The Shins Rosyln by Bon Iver and St. Vincent I’ll also imagine a storm outside, or imagine myself living in a lighthouse :p Hbu!?
Was wondering if anyone liked to share how they deal with Severe rumination and anxiety , as I’m always looking to Add to my tool box . Thanks 🙏
