Anybody as Crazy As Me?

I can't stop my head!
My brain has a tendancy to repeat things over and over and over....and it's driving me nuts!
For the last two days.....my brain has been singing...over and over and over:
'shake, shake, shake......shake, shake, shake......shake your booooooty'
It's driving me crazy! lol
But seriously, I really do have a tendancy to repeat song lyrics, tv commercials, things I've read...over and over.
Does ANYONE else do that? Or am I just crazy?

I ended up with a good head doc, but I still label myself as bats#it crazy.

It does get better, one day at a time.

Join the club! When I have times like that...with thoughts running repeatedly through my head...especially song lyrics...I change the AA "Think" slogan to "Don't Think", and keep repeating it until I manage to block out the other craziness. Sometimes it works!

I get songs stuck in my head...it really sucks sometimes. All I can do is get a different song going...one I never tire of. Then repeat the process. LOL I try to change the annoying song with a positive one.

Awesome, after I posted the thread I got super paranoid that it was the stupidest thread ever posted and everyone would write back....YA Tay...you are crazy!

Ok, so some of ya said I was crazy!

But at least you admitted you were right there with me.

Two nights ago I had a dream of some kind of tv commercial and the theme song from the old hit show 'Matt Houston' was playing in it - In the dream I exclaimed - 'wow that's the theme song...'

I woke up thinking I actually had heard that on real tv. Haven't been able to get it out of my head ever since.

I carry around a mini-portfolio with me. If people get 'that look - I can pull it out and show them some drawings ... they see the pics - look back at me
everything is altogether 'diffie' -
after that I get that
"OHHHHH ... she's an ARRRtisstttt" look.

no lie - the treat me different.

then everything's alright.

Me and my two colors of socks ... go back to what we were doing.

One thing about all of us is that we are never alone. Crap I was singing a tune to kid rock that lasted a week once?

Every morning when I'm washing my hair I get the opening number to the musical "Lucky Stiff" stuck in my head. It's a musical about a British guy who takes a corpse on vacation to Atlantic City.

Don't worry, Tay, if you're crazy you're in good company.

I sometimes have the song spinning round my mind thing too.

Of course we're all crazy, in one way or another. We wouldn't be here if we were "normal". lol.

barb dwyer makes me laugh. most of us are embaressed/ashamed about being crazy. barb's so kool because she doesn't let it botther her.
if i remember correctly, i remember in another thread, a while ago, she said when people give her weird looks she asked them how did they know she's not normal. :ghug3 i wish i could be more like that!
