I Just Can't Get You Out of My Head ... Dammit

[the_gneech]

Is there a term for when memories, thoughts, regrets, etc., get stuck in your head the same way a song does? And more importantly, is there a way to get them to shut up?

I've got a few things in my mental closets that keep jumping out and shouting "Boo!" at me, and I really want them to bugger off. :P Suggestions (that don't involve drugs or alcohol, please) welcome.

All I can say is, if you find out, tell me. I have annoying things I did in the sixth grade that no one but me remembers jumping out and shouting "REMEMBER THIS?? DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT FOR DOING THIS??!!" every now and again. It's very irritating.

Add me to the mailing list when a cure is found, that sounds just like me.... maybe it's a general geek thing :P

Count me in, too. It's like I've got a little demon sitting on my shoulder, trotting out my old screwups whenever he feels like I'm not paying attention. Sadistic little f---ing bastard.

GAH. Me too. x.x There's one particular grad school memory I cannot quash.
