It's like a nightmare of a song stuck in your head

yes exactly, its like the brain torments to say all the things you do not want to say. Whats odd is my wife is biracial so I don't know if this is something from my past but I try to hum to prove the real word is in my head but then fear I have said it or am saying it and how others will react. I recorded myself too in my car and listening to it, its like "oh man...maybe I am saying this" but no reaction from others or response. I would never want to be racist to anyone.

Unfortunately OCD has taken that value overboard. Are you open to trying ERP?

I am. So to give more details, the song lyrics are not clear and sounds like it is saying "neekah flies" and so the word sounding similar I starting to try to repeat in a low tone with my mouth closed fearing I was saying something else and this compulsion was a fear that I was saying something bad at work and caused anxiety.

I had this and still have it only now it doesn’t bother me. And that’s because I didn’t let it stop me from living. I would do things like avoid certain people but that didn’t help so I stopped and that’s what you need to eventually do too. In your case it seems like you’re humming to make sure you thought it? So stop the humming and sit with the thought eventually it gets better when you stop doing the things that make you comfortable.

A hierarchy could include tasks from saying words that rhyme, to writing the feared words, listening to them, and actually saying them

Scared I acted on my thoughts while out of it
I woke up disassociating really bad ,I was super tired and if you read my prev post I've been having problems w depersonalization after a bad thc trip the other night. Im so so so scared I just said a slur or whispered it to myself because I cant properly remember things rn. I remember getting the thought and im scared i whispered it to myself and I cant tell if it happened or not bc waking up things feel rly blurry . It feels really real. I would never want to say such a word and im scared i did bc I was so out of it. I dont remember if i just had the thought or acted on it

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.

Religious OCD
What if I just committed blasphemy? In my mind, I was doing compulsions and I accidentally said the Holy Spirit is not of God but of the you know who I don’t even wanna type that on there because I know it’s not true and I’m worried that I committed blasphemy and I’m worried that if I type it, I’ll commit blasphemy I don’t wanna do this I don’t know what to do. I really don’t mean that.
