Do you have this?

Ever since I listened to some music last week, a song got stuck in my head more than a day. It lasted up for three days until I listened to another song, and that song got stuck in my head too.

I know we all had songs get stuck in our heads every once in a while, but mine lasted longer. It doesn't last for a whole day anymore like it used to. And no, I don't hear things for real, I'm hearing in the back of my head.

It only stops when I'm busy or watching TV. But other than that, I hear it. I realized when I panic, it's become worse. But when I calm myself down, I hear it faintly. I don't know if this has something to do with my anxiety disorder, or because I was really stressed out before all of this song keep repeating in my head, started.

Have this ever happened to you? If so, how long did it last? Did it ever go away? If it didn't, how did you deal with it?

That's what makes a catchy tune.  The annoying thing is when a tune you hate gets stuck in your head!

Its normal, it happens with all of us. You are thinking too much about it and getting anxious. Just enjoy the song, sing along and it will help you to release your stress.
