talking to yourself

Sometimes I would think to myself but not have an actual conversation. I would usually think of how I would want to speak to someone OR I might tell myself positive things to keep me from going crazy with my panic attacks. Its normal to think to yourself about your issues or how things will be if you did or said something to someone. Its not really uncommon.

I do talk to myself like 2 persons talking to each other somtimes even 3, 4, 5 i somtimes get distracted by that in school or even when im talking to som1 face to face. In school when the teacher is explaining somthing, i ask myself somthing about it and i reply back to myself and start an conversation in my own with myself without realizing it, and by this my thoughts wander off. And shortly after im in my own created fantasie world and then i usually start drawing about what im fantasizing. It also happens when im angry and then it gets more intens and it feels like theres som1 else. But its completely me talking to myself. When im with my friends (wich arent many) and they are talking about somthing that doesnt have my intrest i often start talking to myself like 2 persons but not out loud. Only when im alone i do it whispering, its pretty embarrassing when som1 notices it. But with this i like to be alone, cos who understands me better then myself? It helps me making a choice between things and all that. I once tryed stopping with it to see how long i coud be without it but like 10 secs after that without realizing it, i woud do it again talking to myself about how hard it woud be

I do the exact same thing.

Yes. I do it. Always before I go to sleep. I have conversations and arguments with myself in my head. Mostly the latter. Sometimes I'll even randomly speak outloud. Usually this is when I'm becoming frustrated, and I just say "Get out of my head!".

BigBear, I noticed you're Borderline. Do you think this is something borderlines may do, with regard to the self-identity aspect of the disorder? Have conversations/debates within themselves because they seem to change within their minds often?

I don't know but I was diagnosed schizophrenic first and I always thought it was related, since the conversations I hold in my head always seems to revolve around with people from the tv. but hey, if its something alot of people do, maybe its not. Anyways it never really bothered me, except when I'm in a bad mood or I catch myself mumbling in front of people.

I do something similair. I get the conversations, ive actually put alot of thought towards this, for me, this is what i came up with: 4 voices, the first one is very mean and negative "You are fat! you are ugly! you will never be anything! think of all the stuff you need to get done, you wont, youre a f*ing looser, you should kill yourself" this voice always calls me "you" and not "I" then voice number 2 tries to shut up voice number 1, but is very positive, "shut up! dont think of that. She isnt lazy lazy, you know this, she is pretty, go look at yourself, you are pretty, shut up, stop thinking" this voice also refers to me in third person, the third voice doesnt notice the othe two it just fantasies, it is the one, voice number 3 that helps me dissacociate from my problems so im not so stressed all the time, "Wouldnt that be cool to go to new york? if i were there i would go shopping, what if you ran into the hives? i think they would think i was awesome, we could go shopping together" this voice changes back and forth between first and third person. The last voice, voice number 4, usually stays in first person, this is my thinking voice, it is the one i use in conversatons with people. I think everybody does this and it is normal.

what does that mean? i dont understand? anyways, i more often then not think in third person, i usually only think in first person when i am thinking of things to say to people. I get alot of internal voices suppressing other internal voices. If you think of it as a psycholoanalytical point of view it could be compaired to the subconcious mind, even alike to the battle between the id, ego and superego. I dont like psychoanalysis though, and the only thing i take away from freudian psychology is his theory on defence mechanisms, besides that, too much emphasis is put on sex, and not enough schentific method is used. Freud used too much coke and his child abuse during his childhood is all too evident in his theories.

Ive never seen myself third person, but i have before felt...well, its hard to explain...like i was passive in my body, no control over my movements, like a dream, i am only watching and not participating. My vision becomes super intense, colors are brighter, sounds louder and dont make sense, i am listening, but dont understand what is being said, i start talking yet have trouble making and forming words, my heart then races, i cant understand words, i feel as if i am falling or spinning but im not, im standing in one place. What is wierd is during these passive experiences is they come on quick, are very intense, i just want to run away or cry or scream, but i cant do anything of my own, i become a little robot, i hurt all over and have pins and needle feeling all over my body, my peripherial vision is cloudy, also during this time my mind is siolent cause i cant think anything comprehendible, it hurts to think, then they go away suddenly and i am normal.
