Question
Am I Going Crazy??!?!?!?!?
Im hoping its just my pmsing, but lately Ive been talking to myself A LOT, i.e., whenever Im doing my makeup in the mirror, Im talking the whole time. Sometimes I pretend that Im talking on a tv talk show and discuss politics or imagine Im talking to a friend or someone. I even talk to my dog!! I know a lot of people talk to their dogs, but I really TALK to her, like I would a person, I dont go quotWhos a good girl, you are! Yes you are!quot I talk about what my thoughts and ponderings are and I ask her if she thinks its weird when people speak in accents different from their own. And Im really happy and active around other people, but once Im by myself, I sort of... shut down and I feel so miserable.
Answer
Answer from a PsychologistbrbrbrquotIt depends. Talking to oneself is not pathognomic per se, if, for instance, its merely a habit or a means of selfentertainment or an affectation. If it is compulsive or intensive or hallucinatory or intrusive or if the conversation topic is itself of concern, then it could add to the reasons for diagnosing a need for some form of intervention.quot
