Anons, I really need your fucking help. I can't stop thinking in songs. If I manage to stop thinking about one, another one takes its place immediately. I'm also having less and less control of my own conscious thoughts as time passes.
It's got to the point where it's really fucked me up in my exam. Can someone help me?
Go to a shrink.
Auditory hallucination is a sign of Schizo.
Meditate and train yourself to switch off your "inner dialogue"
It's not an auditory hallucination, he's just got songs stuck in his head. It's not pathological.
Stop listening to music for a while op.
I watched a Scrubs episode about it.
Can't it be anything else?
>Can someone help me?
Seroquel (quetiapine).
Or fix whatever wrong in your lifestyle.
Or meditate on your breath.
Once you're good enough you will filter out what is not breath.
Seroquel will fuck your up but is an *easy* solution.
Meditation it's the best choice but it's hard.
Brainlet.
Any tips? Every time I try I fail in like 10 seconds tops.
ADHD or some other form of autism.
Go see a shrink.
Executive function. Diet exercise maybe mefitation
>Any tips? Every time I try I fail in like 10 seconds tops
What?
You have to sit down, close your eyes and relax your muscles.
Don't move and focus on your brain for 1,2,5,... whatever minutes.
Every time you lose focus label the thought.
Return to breath.
Remember that focus is important and not labeling.
You can't do both.
>brain
*breath.
Search palouse mindfulness. There is material for 8 week course.
Also its supposed to be hard. Research shows that gains are only made when things are challenging. Just got to keep persistent. Its not so much the focus on breathe that os important but returning to it when you falter. Faltering is good.
>Search palouse mindfulness[math]^{\mbox{TM}}[/math].
What?
How will a shrink help me? I want to avoid going if possible.
How old are you?
Seeing a shrink for mental problems is a totally normal thing to do.
Give you drugs.
>Seeing a shrink for mental problems is a totally normal thing to do.
@OP: Consider not taking drugs before seriously practicing meditation if he prescribes them to you.
Some doctors will shrug the musical hallucinations off while other will label you as schizophrenic.
It might be the beginning of some compulsive disorder
Oh look, a hippy.
Oh look a drug cuck.
is that not normal?
> Oh look a drug cuck.
Ooh, everything is big pharma's fault.
This is a science board, and you're promoting pseudoscience.
Meditation perhaps has its benefits, but curing mental illness? Just delusional.
I'm 20, almost 21, and I know seeing a shrink is a totally normal thing to do, but:
1.- Expensive as fuck
2.- I'd have to talk to a stranger about myself
3.- I'd put myself in a vulnerable position in front of someone who has (or at least should have, if they're any good) the capacity and an economic incentive to never heal me and instead make me depend on them
I'm getting more and more scared anons. I know I have problems but I don't want to end up this fucked up.
I think it is. But obviously dont know how bad his is.
>3.- I'd put myself in a vulnerable position in front of someone who has (or at least should have, if they're any good) the capacity and an economic incentive to never heal me and instead make me depend on them
Yup, this sentence right here. Sign of mental illness.
I hope you don't hurt anyone, OP.
Meditation is as effective as drugs, as is cbt or other therapies. And neither drug nor meditation cures mental illness. Pros and cons. Drugs easier, meditation less side effects and broader range of potential benefits.
But please, continue your drug cucking.
this really, they will prescribe drugs to control your discomfort without making an effort to figure out why you are fucked up
don't be a slave to chemicals.
Research for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I heard some people get immense benefits
Sources please
> Meditation is as effective as drugs
No, it's not.
Just go on google scholar search mindfulness or meditation and anything from anxiety to depression to executive function.
I don't want to sound like an asshole but I really don't want to do some mini meta-analysis about the average effects of meditation vs medication
There are going to be arguments and statistics for both sides, but you claimed that meditation works better than medication, so I suppose you made some research
I would appreciate if you posted those sources that you used for comparison
Unless of course you are citing some spirituality.com type of website
A Preliminary Study: Efficacy of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy versus Sertraline as First-line Treatments for Major Depressive Disorder
If I ever hurt anyone, it'd be myself.
That's another reason I have not to go to a shrink.
why don't you just go fucking try it for yourself and see if it works for you?
Are you capable of understanding what you read
Are you?
listen to vaporwave
then get vaporwave stuck in your brain
now be euphoric for the rest of your life
Source?
The burden of proof should be on the one who made the outrageous claim.
Already posted it
No, you didn't.
You told us to search the paper ourself.
Frankly papers that claim meditation is as good as medicine are bad science anyways.
Look im replying to the source you sent.
Justify your view. Probably as bad as any other medical study. Medication studies have been questioned alot too.
You just make yourself look like a petulent manlet.
Study i sent*
That used to happen to me but I was also listening to a crazy amount of music at that time
