Q: Weird Day, also couldn't get song out of my head. Any one else ?

It all started the day before yesterday. I woke up with a song in my head, which I usually do, but this time it was an old girl scout song " Peace I ask of thee O River" Which I hadn't heard in maybe 40 years. I couldn't get rid of it, it drove me crazy for 2 days. I kept trying to get rid of it, and each time I would sing a different song, the next thing you know, it popped back into my head again. I've never had that happen to me before for that long. I was also so tired yesterday, and felt like I was in the twilight zone, but at the same time I was doing some how more than usual, and at the same time didn't want to do anything. My whole day was just weird, every aspect. I'm hoping today will feel more normal. Any one else ever had a day like that, or a song in the head problem, that just won't leave?

I am so glad that I am not the only one who has things running in your head. I have songs, things that I need to do around the house, But the worst time I have my mind running 90 to nothing is when at night I read my Bible and then I start to pray before going to sleep and all kinds of stuff starts taking over. I have apoligize or ask for forginveness while praying and ask GOD to get me back on track. That's how I try to deal with it. Hope this helps.

You get the JINGLES too?  Oh my goodness, it's the worst!  Do you remember the Terry Shiavo case on the news?  Can you imagine that I couldnt stop hearing her name in my head?  Of all the names on the planet, I have to think of that poor, poor woman.

BUT HERE'S THE SOLUTION - GET AN IPOD.  It works for me everytime.  Now I just have inappropriate repetitive thougthts that make me depressed. These thoughts are not detrimental whatsoever, just very very irritating.   That's when he prescribed abilify and geodon to the mix.  I have responded to another share post about my feelings about geodon.  I am still having those repetitive thoughts and read somewhere that if I picture a stop sign in my brain everytime they occur, it will be helpful.  I'm seeing the doc tommorow, we'll see what other treats he could offer... 

Play your favorite music or listen to an audiobook, go to a noisy mall - but just dont stay in silence, ok?

Good luck to you
