Do other people have songs constantly playing in their mind? It seems like they play in sync to what's going on. Like just out of nowhere they are playing like soundtrack to a movie. It's kind of like when I’m manic and theres a song playing, a book I'm writing, a place I'm going, and a joke I'm telling all at the same time but I'm not manic right now.

There are people with different accents that talk in my head and I don't know who they are and I just always kind of figured it was normal but it kind of hit me really hard this weekend that it might not be. Like when I lie down at night I can just let the people in my head tell me an entire story. Is that normal? I mean I could make it into a book. I wouldn't want to read it because it doesn't make sense and it's all jumbled and crazy and weird but I could. Is that just my imagination and everyone is like that? Maybe I’m just overthinking things.

Have you always had this problem? Have you spoke to a doctor? If not, I would talk to one to rule out anything physical, because it sounds like it's interfering with your day to day well being.

My mind chatters but I don't hear individual voices, however, some do. Mine is mostly background chatter about stress and worry issues. Negative stuff. Sometimes it becomes very distracting.

well the first thing i would do is get tested for psychic skills

no it is not normal ........it could be psychic hear the dead /past life stuff

other wise u need to talk to a doctor and get some meds to keep them under control

my mother was a southern baptist....so i learned a saying
angels talk in ideas and thoughts demons talk in whispers and voices

but i know a few ppl with skills so it is possible that is what is going on ...........quickest and cheapest way i know how to check is a deck of cards and someone u have strong connection too

they shuffle the deck u split it restack it then they drawl a card look at it hold the image in the head and 5-7 secs later u tell them what it is (the sheer number of possible choices in numbers and suits ) anything about a 20% right u have some skills

oh they say if u are right or wrong and then lay the card face down ...........2 piles ones right ones wrong 52 cards in the deck

otherwise see the doctor and get pills to shut them down before something bad starts coming out of it

Mostly my left hand I do this short beat over and over, many times with fist closed. I'm right handed. Can hardly stop unless truly thinking of something else. Annoys me. Told psychiatrist about it, she said you'll just have to stop doing it. Like not to be concerned, just a habit.

My mind always has a song playing. Usually on repeat. Often something I've heard earlier (so kids songs these days) but it's constant.

As for the voices, I hear what sounds like a laugh track or an old sitcom playing, especially at night. I would get up repeatedly to make sure I didn't leave the tv on. But it's rare I can make out the exact words.

Mind control would be great but I don't think I have it. I'm may start trying to practice it, gives me a shiny lining on my cloud. Hopefully I don't have demons in my head Justugh that's a scary thought. I tend to be paranoid so that's probably my issue here. I just think it's weird that a Boston accent will come out of nowhere and say something while I'm driving like "There's the Family Doh-lah" and it makes me laugh because it doesn't seem like it's me but maybe it is. Weird. And tipper I have some weird thing I do with my fingers too like I imagine over and over again I'm typing things people are saying on tv or what people are saying in my head with my fingers on an imaginary keyboard. Strange. Not a very sympathetic answer from the psychiatrist there. Guess it needs to be brought up next time..

I've had music in my head for years. My P.doc says that it is normal, some people have it, some don't.

Mine sounds like a radio station not quite tuned into the station.
The bad part - it seems to always be 70s and 80s music

After a while, you will ignore it

sorry did not mean to freak yah out ....it is just something i was taught

not really mind control..........if that was possible someone would use it on me to make me normal so i can go in public ........think of it like a extra channels on the radio built into yah

but still talk to the doctors ....if the pills stop it then u know for sure ....if not then look for a teacher

i am only saying it possible i am not saying that is what is going on but at least u can look at it ....u might pick up some new tricks

u should try putting pen in your hand there is something called Automatic writing

Music plays in my head in an endless loop sometimes, particularly if I've heard some annoying but catchy jingle. Drives me nuts. But I don't hear voices unless I'm manic, at which time they sound more like static on the radio and I can't make out what they're saying.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one with music playing. Maybe the people talking are just my imagination but I'll let my therapist know. I think its cool how we're all different and have our own things we do. Maybe everyone else is just boring.

Wow, I thought I was the only one. For me, this only happens when I'm really tired and laying in bed for a while, maybe it's a form of Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming (WILD). Sometimes I hear songs I've never heard before and I scramble to write down the melody/lyrics. Other times it'll be mashed up memories mixed with other things. It's all over the place and out of order. I'm kind of in a sleepy state while it happens so I'm not too concerned of it being yet another diagnosable illness.

I get songs randomly playing in my head non stop, its been happening for years...Also if im down it always seems to be music that perfectly fits how i feel, if im manic its usually hyped up kinda music...i feel the whole movie thing your talking about! I've had the voices in my head in the past...i was dealing with 5 different voices at the one time for about a year or so...4 of them were nasty & the other was like the voice of an angel or something telling me not to listen to the nasty things the others were saying & that i was worth something & deserved nice things to happen to me etc, i did write it all down on my laptop but it got destroyed =( they all had names too...im not sure if i have psychic abilities but some strange things have definitely happenend that i knew were going to happen including deaths, descriptions i knew before people were born, how they were going to be personality wise etc, i've encountered ghosts of my family in my old family home who i used to talk to & am very open minded to paranormal things, i think this has traumitzed my mind over the years, well certain things have, it freaks me out but i love it & i embrace the fact that i feel these things that people in my life havent, i also love the fact that im not alone in these feelings from what i've read on here! =)

My mom (who has bipolar I) hears music all the time. She also sees and hears ghosts when she is alone. So I totally believe in the paranormal.

I myself am going through diagnosis for bipolar II. I get the hallucinatory voices constantly...when I'm agitated, happy, depressed...constantly. I would strongly urge you to speak to your doctor about this. Throughout my childhood, the voices were amiable (most still are), but since puberty I've had one who commands me to do horrible and harmful things to people I love. Of course, I don't obey (never once have thankfully) and I'm getting help to stop it from happening, but definitely if you can get help, I encourage you do so as soon as possible before this happens to you. I would also say talk back to the voices. Get to know them. They might be really interesting. In a weird way, I'm friends with a lot of mine. They're really helpful in encouraging me not to obey the malicious one and they have such interesting lives and stories to tell. They help to keep me from feeling lonely.
