lierally driving me mad

[busterrufus]

my anxiety is riving me mad. I am talking to myself a lot of the time or repeating the same lines of a song just to try and keep the anxious thoughts away. I am at the end of my tether, getting worse. past week I have been thinking about finishing it all. its unbearable and i'd rather have some control over my own end

Many of us have had issues with repeating songs over & over again. I've seen it many times on threads since I've been here, and yes it does drive you mad.

I suspect it's a matter of the mind being far too active.

I've done the talking to myself plenty too.

You mention doing this to keep the anxiety away. Do you mean you have OCD and that these are compulsions?
