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!

I think so.  I am so glad I am not crazy and glad I started this thread.  I was worried everyone would think I was nuts, but now I feel much better because you guys do this too! LOL....Other people that I know have told me I am nuts for doing this.  Who wants to volunteer to ask their psychiatrist??  Hmm...I wonder if there is info. about it?

Hahaha i dont believe what im reading here. i do the EXACT same thing as you guys. iv allways done it..as long as i can remember!! I thought i was just wierd or something LOL.
I talk to myself, rehearse conversations (that might never actually happen). re-run conversations iv had etc. i even have arguments (that again might never happen)
sometimes i have to watch myself as i get tempted to do it in public when im on my own!
you think its a bipolat trait?

Thank you so much we are the same. I do it in the shower or just go off some place thinking of events that never happened in the past or could happen in the future and talking out loud about even creating scenarios

You are a trip girly!!  LOL!!  I only have that one voice and we argue, but I always win!!  :0-)

Unfortunately for me, mine like to argue more than I do.  LOL  But of course I play along.  ;-)

ROCK ON!!!!!!  I could not have said it better myself!!  My voice lets me know if I am doing something wrong, but when it comes to eating junk food or something silly like that, we are both in trouble!! LOL....I think my voice loves chocolate more than I do!!

man' without my voices I think they would lock me up 4 sure it may be what set's me off at times and can get my blood boiling but usually it's what calms me and eases sooo much pain it's my very best freind the only one that under stands everything I'm going through the only one who can feel what I feel and say everything will be just fine without a single judgement with out a rude opinion unless I need to be put in my place. Ya it can be the **** sturer too but thats the other voice now I really sound nuts but only the people who truely go through it understand how it motivates u to be a better u it rationalises ur feelings when everyone else is looking down at u it tell's me too go paint get it out on the canves or just wright put it all down get it all out but in a healthy way and then when I look at it I cansee or read exactly what I was feeling It's incredible. I LOVE MY VOICE BECAUSE IT HELPS ME TO USE MY TRUE VOICE AND JUST BE ME>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> COMPLETELY FREE
