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 😂

Musician OCD
I've been a musician for 13 years now, and I have had some incredible moments with it as well as trauma too. My OCD has gotten so intense lately, especially while I'm with my band, that I feel like my only option is to stop doing it for a while. It feels like when I make any progress with it, I take 2 steps backwards. When I'm around them, I can't stop obsessing about how much better looking, smarter, and cooler they are than me. Those things may sound silly, but I truly get engulfed by the pain of OCD in those moments. I just don't know what to do. I know music is an important part of my life, but maybe it's too much for me right now? Especially with all of the other change going on in my life.

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?
