Talking to myself

[Crystlas]

Hello my fellow bipolars.  I have had this strange habit for most of my life, in fact, I think since early childhood.  I have this constant voice in my head and I conversate with it all the time.  It is kind of me talking in my head,  but I ask it questions and I answer it.  Am I crazy or is this normal for bipolars?  I was getting ready for bed just now and having a conversation with my brain voice and thought, I wonder if other bipolars do this?  I talk to myself all the time, even out shopping.  People probably think I am a crazy person.   Atleast I am not a lonely person, I always have my brain friend! LOL  Thanks!

Well, I guess you've got your answer. But I don't think it's just bipolars that do it.  My wife isn't and for 25 years I've crossed the house wondering if she's talking to me and nope, she's talking to the voice in her head.
My difficulty is my "self-talk" isn't generally encouraging, and I don't talk back.  That's normal for me.  I can watch a tv show that's a comedy and think it's really funny and not utter a chuckle.  I'm trying to change that for the sake of my little boys.
I just have the conversations in my head.  I worry someday that it may be more than that!

Hehehe I am glad I am not alone in this! I thought I was going crazy as well. I've always had conversations in my head......its just that lately the conversations go on and on that it interrupts with my daily life and they make me like zone out. i've told some friends but they say its normal to talk to yourself! but I keep thinking its not normal to talk as much as I do. I sometimes forget where I am because I am so into my conversations. Sometimes they don't let me sleep! and I want to stop it and I can't I would conversate out loud and do hand movements like if I was explaining to someone else. Also sometimes the conversations repeat all over in my head obsessively..... a conversation can last hours! sometimes its gives me anxiety :S I am scared to drive because ill start having a conversation and I forget I am driving and I don't feel there behehe. I think this is happening more because I haven't been taking my meds lately.......anyways I thought i'd share lol
