Repetitive and obsessive thought loops.

[chasm]

Anyone else ever have this? It's so annoying at times. Can be relentless. I just wonder how common it is.

I often get one word or two repeated over and over and have trouble self-referencing when I'm doing it, when I'm obsessing.

I think it's like, me being a control freak internally with myself as some sort of defence mechanism when I'm having trouble controlling the external environment when I feel stressed at it.

Kind of like very curt self-nagging.

Oooh, I do the same thing sometimes. Other times I'll repeat a word over in my head and wonder how it got it's meaning and how weird it sounds. XD

I'm married to someone like that and I gave birth to one too.

I get these thought loops. Mainly when I'm tired or stressed.
