I have OCD, which shows itself in the form of germaphobia and intrusive repetitve music playing in my head. The germaphobia responds well to OCD the more I work at it, but the music in my head does not get touched by CBT. When I say music, I mean like 3-4 seconds of a song stuck on a playback loop often playing at 1.5 to 2x the original play speed. Like a rock concert going on in my head and that same tiny portion of whatever song gets stuck there plays and loops endlessly.

Any other OCD sufferers have music torment them? If so has anyone found mindfulness to work? I have been trying to learn it, not great that at it. I just need to be able to have some SILENCE for once in my head. I cannot even sleep without white noise playing to drown out the noise in my head, it would be impossible otherwise. I am often in fear of listening to certain songs should they possibly get sucked up by my OCD and get trapt in my head, though I think a silent room is even more inviting.

Hey Noca86,

I've been diagnosed with OCD in the past, and also have the exact same thing happen to me. I'll hear a random song in my head play over and over in a loop. It does wear off or it did in my case, and I've found just focusing on work or any other type of activity does help. What medications are you on. I'm currently taking Luvox and have been told that helps with reoccurring or intrusive thoughts when you on a higher does.
