Dom. Someone told me that everything in your mind is normal. When it comes to thoughts and the inner voice, there is nothing that can be described as out of the ordinary. I'm not sure how that works exactly...
I imagined earlier this year this little tune and I somehow got it in my head that this is the tune that would play constantly in my head until the day I die. For a few days I kept hearing it and when I wanted it to go, it would play louder. Now? I can't even remember what it sounded like!
Mind chatter and fast, rushing, irrational thoughts and stuck tunes are all more prevelent with stress, its a sign you need to give your mind a rest for a while. And it sounds loudly because you are trying to make it be quieter. Its the holidays and thoughts build up in our heads as we have no work to distract us. Try listening to some music or phone some people you know to distract yourself for a bit and see if it goes x

Had this loads of times. It's horrible isn't it? You do feel like you're cracking up.

I always presumed this was caused by sleep deprivation, as that can cause hallucinations, but I don't know if I'm right.

Hallucinations don't necessarily mean mental illness, by the way. Lack of sleep, anxiety and even just too much coffee have been shown to cause them. I used to hear voices when I was a child but I've heard that's not even that uncommon in kids.

The difference, I think, is when you become delusional and can't tell the difference between hallucinations and reality.

You can see that line and this is a common symptom so I wouldn't worry about it :)

Oh, by the way, when I was a kid I used to find that having a conversation with someone brought me out of the hallucination and made the voices go away. This might work with the music too :D
