So, I didn't exactly realize how long I was dealing with it until I saw my first post about it. This started in early 2012...so 7 long years! I have a song that will intermittenlty pop into my head, and it's the same one and it just doesn't seem to leave. It's actually been a while since it's really been in my head, so I thought maybe it was just kind of finally done. Unfortunately, now that it's back, I feel like the song will never really go away. And the only way it really goes away isn't if I get another song stuck in my head, but it I simply just forget about it.
Now, it's been 3 days, and it's still here. And the usual stuff is going on...I have anxiety, it's literally sitting in my head waiting to play, nervousness, the whole nine yards. I just can't believe it's been 7 years...which means it will probably be around forever. I just wonder why this one particular song has latched on in my brain. What sometimes does happen is the song will pop in my head but I'll be able to quickly oppress it, whereas for some reason this time I'm not able to do that so easily. But, why do I have to just forget about it, and why not have it leave permanently like any other song that gets stuck in my head? Has anyone else had an issue this bad? I feel like this is a form of OCD, but 7 years of the same song intermittently? Isn't that too long? And one thing I notice now, I have never gotten a song stuck in my head since I heard this song 7 years ago.
Anyway, I just thought I'd post on here since some of the best advice I've ever gotten is on this page. Thank you all!
