Lately my mind feels like it's been going 100miles a minute and I feel like I'm going insane. I feel so detached from myself, I'm getting lethargic, my heart is pounding. Nauseous. Headache. My mind keeps repeating songs over and over too. This always has happened to me sometimes.
Dont do singing songs but i do find my repeating phrases over and over. Is there particular song you are repeating and if so do you know the reason? The phrases that i repeat to myself are what is know as safety behaviour. It is something im doing to protect myself but if im doing that then im not allowing myself to fully focus and get through the anxiety.
They're just any songs but they'll replay in my head, and when it happens I freak out thinking something is wrong or that I'm going insane and then I try really hard to stop them from replaying which makes it 100x worse. This has happened before... It only happens when my anxiety is bad. I know that it's just some kind of weird coping mechanism but it doesn't really help me cope just freaks me out more.
I have the SAME THING happen to me when I'm having a panic attack. Repeating thoughts..songs stuck in my head..that kinda thing.
They make me feel like I'm going to go insane. Sometimes I can't slow it down at all.
I know right? Have you ever found yourself talking to yourself during one of these episodes, then feel even crazier? Cause I do that.
