Almost 24 hours a day I am continualy playing a large assortment of rock music over and over in my head, and I cannot get a clear mind. Ranging from extreme Death Metal, Grind Metal, to slow depressing Staind Songs, and Alice In Chains etc. I love music but I almost feel like it is hurting me, because of the sometimes demonic, anti-society, depressing lyrics:: I am wondering if a person fluent in Psychology can tell me if this can have an effect on my well being, and would hypnosis possible help????????????

I listened too to some satan-metal for a very short time, the music stayed in my head and they were singing, all kind of things. Well finally I deleted everysong from my computer and I cut in half one CD I had. Dont listen to it if it stays in your head like I had. The melodies are nice when I was on a good mood, then when I was depressed I listened only the words and my feelings went more down. Throw them all to the garbige can.

Over the years here at babble, there have been a number of people reporting the problem of having songs play in their heads over and over. It seems like the discussion pointed toward OCD rather than psychosis. See the following archived posts:
1. In this post, Lemon quotes an article by a Dr. Harold Pupko, on OCD and hearing music, from the OCD Newsletter:

2. At the end of this next post, posted by Blue Cheer 1, is an excerpt from Judith Rappaport's book on OCD, "The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Washing: The Experience & Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" that talks about unwanted repetetive music playing in the head as a symptom of OCD.

Hope this info helps.
