Am I going crazy?

So as a child (5+) I would always play out scenarios in my head whether they were realistic or not. I would also talk out loud as if I were in an actual conversation. It didn't happen often but whenever it did my mom would get mad and tell me that I look crazy. Now (18) I continue to do this but a lot more often and I also tend to sometimes unintentionally ignore real life conversations with people because of these scenarios. I've been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, trauma, and borderline personality disorder. I'm not sure what's happening but I'd really like it to stop.

As someone who has been diagnosed with BPD, I used to play conversations between myself and other people - particularly conversations I was nervous about and sometimes I still do. However, I never would never have these conversations out loud. To my knowledge, this is not normally a symptom of BPD but may linked to another mental health disorder. i think it is normal to play out conversations in your head but to do it out loud and to the point where you in grossed or consumed byt it to the point where you are ignoring what is going on around you - may be a different matter. I would advice you to speak to your GP or mental health practitioner.
