.Hi Sreyneth, you really don't provide much detail. Many of us do not know the song you are speaking about.  We just know that it makes you sad.   I would strongly suggest  you talking to a professional counselor or therapist who would be capable of helping you overcome your fear, if this has been a long standing concern and fear. I hope that you can soon overcome this fear and feel better soon.  Good luck to you .

 Gloomy Sunday Song (Hungarian version known as Hungarian suicide song)

I thought that I'm the only one who has scared of Gloomy Sunday Song . I try to explain myself and found out more about this song including its lyrics and history even listened to this song but I can not get over this fear . I knew it's really silly that I believe its lyrics and music can make people die but it seems like a true story . Moreover, there are my people covered this song in English and Hungarian but l can't control my feeling to getting scared . I knew this song is just a sad song but i scare that can make me die like those people in that time. Sometimes when I was in happy mood and then this fear comes out again. Will I die if I still think about it ??? I wonder why other people don't scare like the way I scare !

If I go to see a doctor , i'll need to tell my parents first . They will think that I'm crazy !!!

I'm in Cambodia and health care systems is not good as another country and if I go to see him/her maybe they say I'm crazy

Tell your parents anyway. Get help or you may continue to feel that way. That is my only suggestion. Tell your parents or another close relative or friend. Then get professional help. Get better soon and best wishes.

Am pleased to see you have just posted on 'anxiety community'. Whilst I appreciate your worries I am not sure that in this community we are best placed to assist you. Looking under your name all your postings revolve around your anxiety with regards this song. This community is to assist those with physical pain and although this can lead to anxiety for some of us the primary need is physical pain.

Your issues appear to be purely due to anxiety. If I am wrong in this assumption I apologise but have looked at previous postings and can find no mention of physical pain.

The 'anxiety community' you have posted on seems to be good and am sure people there will be able to make useful suggestions.

We all have irrational fears at some time and that does not mean that we are crazy. Do try to get professional help tell your parents it would also help if you do not listen to this song if you hear it turn it off and do something to occupy your mind watch tv, phone a friend ,read or cook something nice I don't know your interests but I am sure you Can find something to divert you from this song. Remember a song cannot kill you but it can make you pretty unhappy if you let it. I do hope you soon get it out of your system and feel better . 

in reply to Rosabeth

You said a song can not kill people but there are many people died of this song .

That's why I can let this fear go ...

That is exactly why you must let this fear go it is not the song that has killed people it is their fear of the song. Get help to rid you of this fear. Please do this as soon as you can and do talk to your parents.

We are all so different and what works for one may not work for another. I have my demons just like most people but I am fortunate to be able to reason with myself and find distractions to steer my thoughts away from the things that are upsetting me. You sound quite young and I am not  young so maybe I have acquired some wisdom with age. My attitude is no song however nasty is going tobeat me. I am stronger than words written by some poor tortured soul. I hope this does not sound too hard as I really do sympathise with you I am sure you are genuinely scared but it is only words if I told you that I would give you millions of pounds you would be as exited as you are scared but it would not be true I hope you will seek professional help.

Not sure what you are talking about.  Keep hearing the song too much in your head or song you hear in your head has upsetting lyrics.

I could tell you not to think of the pink elephant and I can guarantee you will think of the pink elephant.  Is this what you are doing with the song?

Fear is a body reaction.  Look up meditation and listen to the count 1 to 10 and back to 1 for 5 minutes and see what happens.  Look up mindfulness.  Go for a walk and notice the feet being placed on the ground and see what happens.

Look at:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earworm

This may be what you are experiencing.

Hope I have been helpful.

You are right , I always think about it all time because I just want to test myself do I scare anymore ??? Sometimes I scare and don't or I start thinking about it deeply .

Even a small amount of reading on this urban legend showed that it isn't banned in the UK, people haven't been said to have spontaneously died from listening to the song, the myth is that deeply depressed people committed suicide after the release date of the song (which can be said for any song ever played) .  There is no supporting evidence that these people had ever listened to the song. Talk to someone, this seems to be an irrational fear of a ghost story, talking with a doctor may help you see this. 

in reply to Sazntef

Have you ever listened to this song ??

No idea, never said 'bloody mary' or 'candy man' into a mirror multiple times either though. All aren't something that I can think it's going to override freewill though

Listened to the original Hungarian on repeat for 30 minutes.  Please agree that if I live that you will seek medical help? 

in reply to Sazntef
