Thoughts that wont leave me alone ><

Post Reply New Topic

Does this happen to anyone else? Like for an example, I would have a thought that I dont like and it would repeat in my head as if it was purposely trying to annoy me! Also when I hear a song that annoys me it repeats in my head over and over and its completely beyond my control.. I hate it so much...

Yep, this happens to me. Thoughts do this all the time. I also have a recurring issue with getting Barry Manilow's "Copacabana" stuck in my head. Ugh...

Yeah I get that sometimes.
I had a rather morbid case of that this morning which thankfully stopped after a while.

If it's bad it could be a sign of PTSD...


Me and my disaster-happiness nd obsession with PTSD...

PTSD? Explain?

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder... with intrusive recollections, flashbacks, etc. I believe that PTSD can result from nightmares resulting from a combination of minor bad things in one's real life that built up... though they say it has to be a real life event, I dunno why it has to be.

I know what PTSD is.

Do you know about the connection between it and reppetitive, hard to get rid of thoughts?

I meant if the thoughts were bad... I don't mean the songs, I meant the others; he didn't specify.

I get this thing where I know I need to do something, like mop my kitchen floor, and I'll think about it again and again and again, and NOT do it. I can just stare at it and still not do it, but still keep thinking aboutr it until I get anxious, and I know that I should just clean the bloody thing instead of torturing myself about it. It's such a simple task. What's wrong with me?

Same here. Songs and thoughts get stuck in my head all the time and lately i have the squeaky sound that the van door makes stuck in my head; and I like to repeat it at random. I find myself making the squeaky noise at the most ammoying times. I know this cause ill do it and someone will hush me.

ugh, I do that all of the time. I know my house needs to be organized, I know the walls need to be wiped down, I know I need to get a new mop, etc. All of this stuff gets mixed up all as one thing in my head though, even if I am only thinking of one thing at a time, it still always leads to other things that need to be done the longer I think about it. I eventually hit a point where I ignore it, but it always comes back when I get everything else done... I've had meltdowns over it before, as sad as it sounds.

I get these intrusive thoughts too that just won't go away. I used to think it was just me, but I watched a documentary about Tourette syndrome, and apparently people with this can also have intrusive thoughts.

I also went to an autism conference recently and they also said there that people with ASDs can get these intrusive thoughts too.

Thanks a lot

Now I've got Barry's crooning in my head too.


This happens to me ALL THE TIME! It drives me insane!

It gets so bad with me, that after I've gone to bed, the thoughts will not stop and I have to get up and mop the damn floor(metaphorically) or go insane.

Yep, I get these also, be it thoughts, songs, words, they won't go away unless I do something to keep myself otherwise occupied

Yeah. It gets really annoying when I have the same song, and sometimes the same refrain or riff, stuck in my head for a few days. If it's a thought and I stop to pay attention to it I find it's often attached to a feeling and a sensation, so when I remember I'll meditate on that until it passes.
