Echolalia (lemmy.world)

Within the last month or two I learned here that echolalia is an ADHD symptom. Apparently it's not neurotypical to constantly have songs going through your head that haunt you for days on end and they come into your head when you don't want them and you hate these songs like it's raining right now and I absolutely hate that song by the Eurythmics "here comes the rain again" but I fucking hate that song and that Annie Lennox woman with the man haircut who wears men's clothes staring into my eyes from her MTV video, and it's playing in my head. Help please. Is there a way to get rid of these songs in my head. They never end.

This only happens to me during severe headaches. But it's like a pain amplifier when it's occurring. Something about the repetitive nature of looping thoughts heightens the anguish.
