This constant conversation I have with myself during the day? It goes on inside my mind, so that's a good thing. But, is it NORMAL to be chattering inside my own mind all of the time? Does everyone engage in self-talk? I would like to know if other people do this.
For example, if something BIG is about to happen in my life- I have to rehearse it over and over again in my mind. Let's take moving to a new house, for example. I will lay in bed at night and go over packing this first, then this, and after that will come this. It is fucking annoying. I'm glad no one lives in my mind with me.
I have even done this when thinking about something as simple as cleaning my house. I'll try to be one step ahead of myself at all times. It makes me so tired.
Is there anything that will turn that switch off? I could use a break.

I do that. Especially right when I wake up or when I'm trying to sleep. I'd love to know how to turn it off.
Oh! I totally know what you mean. Sometimes I'm just plain sick of myself! I just wish I gave myself better advice sometimes. :)
Love your blog-its a daily for me. Not only is it normal, I think it is the quintessential characteristic of an intratainer! Seriously, my mind is never shut off either. Especially if I think I will have to confront someone about something I rehearse every scenario in my mind. Usually its not the big deal that I make it.
lipstick, you just made my day! I own the quintessential characteristic of an intratainer. I'm all I ever knew I would be!
I am going to say normal. If not then there are an aweful lot of us that are abnormal :)
I do it too. I will even plan a conversation with someone, and play it over and over in my head, how I expect it to go, how I wish it would go, and all the different variations that could happen.
And I dont know how to turn it off either.

I talk to myself so much, my teenager really thinks I am going crazy~
But like I tell her. I don't talk back & I always agree..with myself that is...
I do it too, it keeps me up at all hours of the night. Then I wonder why I am so damn tired all the time.
Oh, girl. If you're abnormal, then what am I?
I had the detectives at Lambert Inc. check this out and here's what they say: Seriously, seems like all mommas have issues like this.... Totally normal, they say.
Hugs and smooches, Hollyanna.
ha!!! so funny since I thought I was the only wacko that did this. Glad to know we're all on the same boat, although I'd like off!
MY "conversations" also include "actions", especially in the morningtime, right before I get up. I start telling myself what I gotta do.... ok, still 45 to leave the house. if i sleep 5 more minutes, i'll brush get up, sit in the can, wash my face, my teeth... throw on some clothes. what should i wear today? hmmm. should i straighten my hair today. Oh, don't forget this or that... Then 15 minutes before I have to rush out the door, I am just barely getting up, EXHAUSTED of everything I did in my mind, thinking, SERIOUSLY THINKING i had actually already did it, when really... just like you... i was just talking to myself.
Now, aren't you glad you asked?
Clearly you aren't alone! This is especially funny to me, because I wrote recently blogged about a brief conversation I had with myself. Good times.
I do it too, but the staying up and re-rehearsing is good old fashioned anxiety my friend.
Effexor shut my inside self up a little. It was necessary too. I was wearing myself out.
So it's normal as long as it's not making you crazy.
I do talk to myself in my head...but not out loud. If you're talking to yourself out loud it might be a sign. I don't know of what. Maybe that you need a drink. I'll get you margarita....
ps I don't know what I'll do if you're girls get any vuter either! Stinking adorable those two.
Yeah, I do that. I blog in my head. I'm a walking talking blog inside my brain. Did that make sense.
Found you through Ashley's, and found her through a friend. :) You've got some funny stuff. :)
My therapist calls it ADHD, my husband calls it CRAZY...well, at least I'm never bored, I can entertain myself! There is medication for it, but I am sure it would not mix well with the meds you are curently enjoying!
PS My come-backs and zingers are always better in my head!
I do it too. Sometimes out loud. I have had times that I "thought" I told DH something and later learned that I didnt. But I did in my mind.....
