On a lighter note...
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.

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

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 😂

OCD about liking a problematic musician
Sorry, this might be very specific. I have this OCD theme where I'm afraid of supporting a problematic artist by accident. I really love music, its my number one coping mechanism and I tend to fixate on musicians that I love. I love learning about the history of my favorite bands or musicians and collecting merch. But I have this fear that I'll find out a musician is problematic and I'll be a bad person for liking them or their music still. I have this one artist I love, hes really helping with my mental health recently and provides me with safety and an escape and im afraid one of these days I'll find out something awful about him and have that ripped away from me. Does anyone else experience this?

Repetitive OCD
Im just wondering but does anyone else deal with repetitive thoughts and or urges. Recently I’ve been wanting to listen to music but I can’t stop listening to this certain song that’s kinda depressing and I sometimes will have it on loop for hours while I’m worrying about things but I can’t bring myself to listen to another song. Idk what to do, like its a good song but it makes my mental health worse if I obsess over it. Any suggestions on how to handle this? I hope everyone’s having a good day and best of luck to all of you ❤️
