I have OCD and this is one way it manifests. For me it helps to have a "safe song" (I both sing over and over and I twist lyrics into dirty words that I don't even say in reality). For me that is "You are my sunshine". When the OCD gets bad I sing it out loud and repeat once or twice and I usually get a break. I have another song or two that help but I can't think what they are right now. Other times it helps to listen to the song repeatedly.


It's miserable and I hope it is getting better for you.
