I can send you a copy when I'm done. I don't think it will be famous because I have never released a song on my own. Except with my band we have released a song.
please do! i’m very interested :)
Yoo send it to me too please!!
I'm actually working on a song trying to describe the feeling
thats amazing!! i’m so excited for it to come out :)
Non are specifically about OCD but the lyrics can be seen that way Lalala by sam smith the lyrics are good Try your best by kaiser cheifs helps me when i am scared of it going wrong- specially the line ‘try your best and think about it later or you will never know’ The fear by Pulp really hits the anxiety for me (the end is loud tho so dont forget that bit!) Walk on by U2 helps me And stuck in a moment you cant get out of The Greatest by Sia Born this way by lady gaga Fight song - rachel plattern Right now - Van halen Bring it on - Nick cave Thats all off the top of my head
The Romones I want to be sedated
ty!
Hey, that's always been one of my go to OCD songs! :)
Two songs I love that aren't specifically about OCD but that I find super relatable and motivating when it comes to OCD are "Sky is the Limit" by Rebelution & "Drive" by Incubus.
I will :)
Lauv has a song called Sad Forever and he has OCD and depression. Also NF has a song called Leave me alone that talks about his OCD struggles
i love nf!!
Also some Christian worship songs are helpful!
Well, there is this band called The Horrors I like, but they're a little dark (though I imagine the name makes it kind of obvious lol) The lead singer has written two songs that I know of which are about his childhood OCD, one called "Gloves" & the other called "Count in Fives." They're not positive songs by any means, and I would be careful listening to them if you're in a bad headspace, but maybe you'd find them a little interesting in terms of music relating to someone's experiences with OCD.
https://youtu.be/xK-Qh97AEBg It’s not specifically about OCD, but I feel it when I get stuck in my head.
Not all necessarily about OCD but I find them very relatable with my OCD battle in general, Fight Song by Rachel Plattern, What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger by Kelly Clarkson and Who you are by Jessie J (this one I really relate to over one of my worst OCD themes and I’d be shocked if she doesn’t also have OCD herself because we sound like we have a lot in common!)
I also like One Fire Wire by Colbie Caillat, for the way it feels juggling all the thoughts in our heads
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.
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?
Does anyone have any book recommendations for ocd? Is there any helpful specific ocd books out there or just any that help with ocd or helped you? Please share 💕 Someone on here has told me a book that helped so it gave me the idea to post this to get people to share more recommendations I love reading different types of books as it is like fiction as it helps me escape my thoughts sometimes and I’ve read self help books that have helped in the past so any ideas I would be grateful for 💕
