Y'all ever get like, stuck in a mental loop?

Like, you have a thought that just repeats itself over and over?

Like, say you're thinking "I wonder if this is a sign of some mental illness..." and you have that though, but the voice inside your head goes:

"I wonder if this is a sign of some mental illness... a sign of some mental illness... I wonder if this is a sign of some mental illness I wonder if this is... I wonder if this is a sign of some mental... I wonder if this is a sign of some mental illness..."

And it just keeps going like that for hours.

Most of the time it's just a word stuck on repeat: that's where most of my jokes come from. 

Sometimes I say things involuntarily to try to get them out; it's always "These are my ankles," or "with my bare hands."

I don't know, sounds kind of like some kind of obsessive disorder.

Unless I'm not crazy.

Usually when I start to loop phrases or something in my head, it's because I'm seeking deep focus......If I can give that part of my brain 1 task, the rest of my brain can function at its full potential on the task at hand....Otherwise it's

What am I going to have for lunch

God I hope the school doesn't call because buddy had an allegic reaction

Dude why are you worried about that...It's been months

What if you get a call that your house is on fire

did I turn off the stove

did I even turn on the stove

That motherfucker oneshotted me last night on Smash

What ever happened to punky brewster

Guile's theme doesn't really go with everything

I wonder if I start jacking off right now, if anyone would walk in before I finsh

wtf am I doing

Why am I holding firewood...I don't have a fireplace.

Man, I would like a fireplace.

Fuck no, I worry if my house is on fire enough.

Subway....Definitely Subway.

Generally not a loop, no. But often I'll get lost in a day dream.

If something "sorta" loops through my head it's probably because I thought it was amusing. Recently I rewatched the South Park episode The Passion of the Jew and the phrase Hitler-Cartman had the movie-fans chanting was playing in my head a lot through work last night.

not trolling but you should see a therapist for some cognitive clean up. i used to be like that but not anymore after i learned some techniques about positive thinking from my therapist. it ended up cutting way way way down on my anxiety, too!!

 

not fully cured... now my thoughts are all of sex, how horny i am, what im going to say next in my sext messages, wondering what MH is doing, bored, bored, bored, thinking about what im eating next, missing madison, unexplained sadness, then my positive affirmations to combat the sadness, bored bored, what can i post next on UEMB

I'm not a doctor. I don't even play one on TV.

With that said, based on my personal experience, what you're describing sounds obsessive-compulsive. I have something similar to that happen to me, usually with music. I'll get a lyric or a note that someone sings stuck in my head, and I'll replay it on a loop in my mind for hours. That's a very minor example of my symptoms, comparatively speaking, but it's the most relevant to this thread.

If it's not actively affecting your life, I wouldn't be overly concerned. If it is affecting your life, maybe see a psychiatrist or psychologist about it.
