funny that i happened on this board because i thought i was alone...
so here's the deal. i CONSTANTLY hear music but ONLY IN MY HEAD. it isn't audible or anything, but i hear it all day long. most of the time it is just one line of a song. lately it has been the theme song of whatever game i am playing on the game boy...
anyhow, i have suffered from depression for many years, ADD, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, etc. i have tried many meds and am currently taking Lamictil (mood stabilizer), Celexa (anti-depressant) and Concerta for ADD. none of these help the music go away.
i have been thinking about it and i have come to this conclusion... if the music stops, then i start awfulizing about death or something completely ridiculous. i think my mind is constantly moving so that i don't go insane. like when i am driving, i calculate milage and minutes and such so that i don't constantly stare at a ditch and see the funeral of my kids. i guess what i am saying is this is my own defense mechanism.
any thoughts?
