Talking to myself

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!

No prob.  I agree wholeheartedly.  We need to laugh some of our stressful issues off on here!  This is a funny thread, but at the same time totally real.  That is the scary uhh..funny uhh...scary part!!  LOL  :0-)

I meant to tell you thanks for starting this thread.  My personal theory is life's too serious to be taken seriously!  Am glad to finally see ppl laughing on here.  Think it makes us all closer to laugh about bp together.  

That's what I was trying to do with the "Vampire" thread and a couple of others.  Think we all need to laugh about this more or we really would go insane.

My problem is I can't find a hula hoop to fit me any more.  Maybe I should try at the zoo.  Whatta ya think?  Ever seen a hula hooping elephant?   lol

The other day I was talking to the canteloupes  and telling them they didn't smell good.  Does that count?  Oh, man, now I'm talking to inantimate objects!  That may be worse than the person in my head.  Hope no therapist is reading this.

On my cell phone I have the ring tone of "They're Coming to Take Me Away"  hehe   Think next time I got shopping I'll just put it on that one.    Forgot I even had it.  Better be careful when I go to my car though and make sure there's no wagon for the funny farm waiting on me.  =^}{    LOL

There is a lot of ppl who talk to themselves even w/o bipolar and w/ it alot of ppl need to talk to someone about something when someone isnt there, instead of keeping it to yourself they tell a "friend". i thought i was crazy when i heard voices in my head, while ppl would stare at me like im some type of lunatic. You just always have a friend w/ u to talk to. LOL now i know i am not alone.
