What phrases get stuck in your head?

[woofwag]

Idk if I'm the only one who has this, but I will get phrases/mantras stuck in my head that repeat themselves over and over and over and I can't stop it.

Some of mine:
"I wish I had died back in 2009"
"Stop it" or "Make it stop"
"So it goes"
"This too shall pass"
"Is that really what you want?" (often with zero context and will repeat despite my answer or lack thereof)
"So this is it?" or "And that's it?"

Anyway just curious. And no I've not
found a way to quiet them despite intensive therapy and effort

 

[Ashu]

"Cum on shit."

You asked.

 

[iwkmsssb]

"holy shit i wanna die" constantly repeating throughout the day, even when the day isn't necessarily bad.

 

[Spite]

"If only you knew how bad things really are", from that one meme.

These are called tics, sign of a psychological illness but i forget which

I have one myself "i dont know" but its in another language

 

[Adaephon]

"I fucking wanna die", so, so many times throughout the day.
and
"I'm so tired"

 

[DeathSweetDeath]

None. Sorry to hear. Sounds OCD-ish imo.

These are called tics, sign of a psychological illness but i forget which

Tourette syndrome.

 

[Leonard_Bangley39]

"im evil."
"this is all it'll ever be"

 

[JeyJeyOfJeypore]

Tourette syndrome.

You sure? Im pretty sure it was something else

Maybe more than one kinda thing can have tics

Mine was caused by trauma

 

[itsgone2]

"Nothing is ever as bad as it seems"

This helped me with so many things. Things normal people would just do.

But now it isn't remotely true. My life has spiraled into a nightmare. I'm taking others with me I fear.

I need to pray for actual help. Phrases cannot help now

"I wanna die"
"It is what it is"
"Such is life"
"Why me?"
"I'm not human"
"I'll never be understood"
"Just give up"
Lots of why, lots of what am I doing wrong, lots of wondering. Typical coping when you can't control certain things

"Im not human" is a bit disturbing. When does that come up if its not too sensitive?

"Im not human" is a bit disturbing. When does that come up if its not too sensitive?

Usually when I'm dissociating really badly. It's really hard to put into words as to why I end up thinking that without sounding like a total schizo and rambling into stuff that doesn't sound relevant to the topic. But it usually stems from feeling totally unbelonging or alien with other people or society in general. Trying to explain this already makes me feel a bit odd haha

 

[Tautochrome]

Hm, no phrases repeated enough to become significant, many of my thoughts don't involve a clear monologue. Maybe "oh fuck me sideways" and "I am not a person, no need to worry about this" x)
I also check on myself every day with
-"Do you still want to die?"
-"Yes."

 

[stay_gold]

"what the fuck is going on" (usually in the Blind Witness style xD)

 

[StarryEyed]

It's really weird because I have two lines of thinking always on the go that are completely the opposite. One is the I fucking hate this world and everyone and my life and my body. The other is very social and kind and gentle. I don't know how to cope with the constant contradictions. is that what DBT therapy is for?

 

[tomatobastard]

"no shut up" whenever intrusive thoughts start up
"fuck off" again intrusive thoughts
"i don't wanna" when i have to do anything
"fuck my life" fuck it
"flip my life" flip it

 

[UserFromNowhere]

It's a meme, but I do believe it enters my head at least once a day ever since I saw it. Or at least ever since I actively started contemplating and planning suicide.

I didn't know it's such a common thing, that's interesting.
When I'm feeling down, I sometimes think and even say "Ich hasse dich" which means "I hate you". It's not even supposed to be directed towards anyone specific, it just enters my mind. I guess it's a tic?

 

[Nikkra]

I get this, it's called palilalia, an involuntary repetition of phrases. It always happens to me immediately after a stressful thought or being in a stressful environment. It's a way to comfort myself. Used to say it in my head now i do it out loud. I have multiple phrases some of them are pretty weird and don't make much sense but they probably reflect my psychological state somehow, such as "im gonna do a run and jump" which is probably reflecting my feeling of wanting to escape from a stressful environment or maybe jumping off a cliff or jumping and flying away like a bird idk

 

[selfkillermachine]

I wake up and instantly think
"Another shitty day I wished I was dead" and for the rest of the day is "Why am I even doing this?"

 

[softfur]

i don't know about what i get stuck in my head because i mostly end up saying it out loud. i wish it was just in my head 🫩

"fuck you" the way postal dude says it,
variants of "i need to kill myself" as a knee-jerk
sometimes i get bits of jim jones' death speech stuck in my head, especially "let's be done with it, let's just be done with the agony of it"

 

[buriedinmyhead]

"I want to fucking die/kill myself"
"Whatever happens happens"
"I need to blow my brains out"

 

[burninghill]

Usually just 'I need to kill myself right now' over and over again if I experience some kind of minor inconvenience. I read a quote on some handbook linked via this site that said 'the train always wins' and that replays in my head a lot too.

 

[Lavínia]

"Why am I bleeding?"
"Am I bleeding?"
"I'm bleeding"

 

[ijustwannabeloved]

"I'm done" I say it like every 5 minutes

 

[woofwag]

"Cum on shit."

You asked.

LMAO this is frying me omg

These are called tics, sign of a psychological illness but i forget which

I have one myself "i dont know" but its in another language

Naw it's not tics, those are verbal/physically expressed. I have tourette's which is the psychological illness you're referring to so I would know

"im evil."
"this is all it'll ever be"

Real my BPD tells me this all the time

That's a speech disorder where you repeat words/phrases you just said, not what I'm talking about

I wake up and instantly think
"Another shitty day I wished I was dead" and for the rest of the day is "Why am I even doing this?"

Ahh haha yeah the classic "why am I doing this?" Ask myself this all the time. The answer mostly boils down to "I'm lazy."

Seems the "I need to kill myself" thing is what a huge majority of us have. Makes sense considering the site we're on.

"Why am I bleeding?"
"Am I bleeding?"
"I'm bleeding"

Well… are you often bleeding?
