I avoid music during episodes, especially since psychosis often has a music component for me where songs transform into dirty lyrics that play in my head 24/7. I will literally scream for them to go away but they don't.

Omg!! Yes yes on the music thing. Its not just ooh cant get this song outta my head so annoying...its that it becomes dark and scary, terrorizing me sometimes, like haunting me.. A few weeks before i was fired working the grave yard shift i was at work and U2 "bloody sunday" took over my brain and it would not stop. With it came feelings of terror, fear and mixed in with strange nostalgia of teenage hood while also feeling like i was trapped in a bad part of A scary movie while also feeling i was in danger. Idk its so hard to explain. But its awful. Burrrrr i cant even think of the song without shivering. I hate my brain sometimes
