ive always had this thing abt me that i just recently realized that not everybody does it. i have yet to meet someone that does the exact same things as me, but who knows.
i read that it could be OCD, but just in different ticks, or whatever you call them. i dont know if its OCD or not. anyways, heres what it is.
i always have to have something playing in my head. like, i always have to have a song stuck in my head, or my mind will just repeat a word or a sentence or spelling of a word. i want it to stop, but i just cant. sometimes my mind will just count. over and over and over. i also cant stop my thoughts. like if i think of something that i dont want to, i try to push it away but it never leaves. when im watching tv, i always have to press the circle around the button and then press my finger against the edge of the remote. it hurts, but i literally cant stop myself. i have to press my fingers against my palm as hard as i can. i have to squeeze my eyes shut every couple hours no literally no reason. i have to clench my teeth sometimes for no reason. i cant help it. i literally cant stop it. i feel like im going insane if i dont do it.

Mom, you're no Supermodel.
You're just a narcissist that loves to bury me. You never miss a chance to destroy my happiness and excitement. You're the early bird when it comes to shatterin...
I just RECENTLY discovered that not everyone wakes up every day with a song, tune, phrase, or partial phrase stuck in their head that repeats constantly!
I don’t count much (although I have gotten stuck in that a few times), but if I don’t have a repetitive song/phrase in my head, I constantly see words, try to rearrange them, find ways of making two words that run together and interlap, but don’t make a compound word...
I have a water bottle that I use every day, it’s square on the bottom, hubby put a square coaster in the table, and it drove me nuts because I had to get the square bottle lined up with the square coaster! I told him I can’t use that, and got the round coaster out again, cause I couldn’t pay attention to anything going on when I had the square one!
I think it might be a kind of OCD thing, but I try not to let it worry me. I just make accommodations for it as best I can.
Ya, not everyone experiences life like that, but just so you know, you’re not the ONLY one.
Replyi do a similar thing but sometimes its not a song but a story I always seem to have something in my head and its always been like that I also make this weird noise where is starts as a high pitched whimper and a low grunt follows it. I grind my teeth, rock myself, close my eyes and squeeze my hands tightly for no reason its annoying because I get told off for it but trying to resist it doesn't work and the need to do it doubles and that's all i can focus on nothing else until I do it. is it the same for you?
Replyi don’t make the noise or rock it grind my teeth or squeeze my hands but i do sometimes blink really hard and i can’t help it but i haven’t but been told abt it cause it’s subtle
