Hi,
I have been ahving this problem lately with having songs get stuck in my head...no matter what I do it is there. It can be any song..good or bad unfortunatly Is this OCD? It usually happens worse in the morning, that seems to be when my anxiety is worse too and it seems to be happening more since I started taking Lexapro two weeks ago.

Also, I get alot of random, scary thoughts..like that seem to come out of the blue and then I start worrying about them and my mood just spirals down.
I can't put my finger on what all this means but I have been fighting pretty bad depression and anxiety for a few months and I'am exhausted so mabe that could have something to do with it. It just seems like I have become afraid of everything anymore

Thankyou for helping,
Jodi

Dear Sunflower62,
yes it is a common symptom, me too i stressed about it until i just let it flow and paid not to much attention to it, so it kind of disappeared itself... so do not trouble yourself with the songs, it is a quite familiar symptom...

Also the mood changes is very usual, me too, i am feeling good, a second later i am depressed wiht a silly scary thought that pops in, the problem is your second reaction to it, like say to yourself "Oh, just another scary thought, so what..." the less you let it scare yourself, the less it will come back... hold on, you�ll get better...
All the best

I think everyone does this. Sometimes I'll wake up in the morning with a song In my head ...maybe It was played in one of my dreams.....my dreams have soundtracks LOL.......Anyway all day long I'll have that song in my head. Thankfully they're tunes I like!!! LOL

hey... with me i do hear songs and theyw ont go away... but i sumtimes hear a loud ringing noise.... or a buzzz.... like a loud hummmm.... also befor when i used o close my eyes.. i would see a person getting big small big small.. and it would just go on and on and id freak out.... it doesnt do it as much as it used to but still happens when i think about it...

I know how u are feeling i get prince stuck in my head and it just drvies my nuts and i can not think four my self and gives me makes my head hurt if i see him on tv my heart starts racing ....and it starts racing even more when there is some one around.... what r they thinking i get sceared to being around people that know i love prince i just wish i did not tell them maybe i would not be going through this are maybe i still would be ......

i can relate, i actually get mad at myself for allowing a song to stay in there, catch myself singing it,even if i hate it, forced to learn the words just so i can at least sing it properly.
i totally get the "down in the dumps", as these past few months have been the worst for me, today, my day off work, and i'm already deciding to just stay home (despite invites to go out), cause the depression has left me unable to cope with the anxiety attacks, and no thank you very much in public, i'd rather have them at home
well, as everyone says, this will pass, don't overreacte... accept...
