Am I crazy...?

I have really started to worry about my self, I talk and listen to my self more than anyone else. I walk to work and pretend I'm on the phone to someone but really I'm just chatting to my self because I find it better talking out loud. I take my dog for walks just so I can walk around talking to my self and try fix my problems. I really don't think this is normal and want to know what do to, to stop it. Help please

Becca, I talk to myself all the time- specifically when I'm trying to work out complex problems in my life. And honestly, I feel like my thoughts are deeper and more meaningful when I "release"  them from my head. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Unless you start losing jobs or feeling like there is literally no one on earth you can talk to, you should be okay. Keep the self-dialogues rolling!

It sounds like you are very restless and you need to move to think.  Sometimes when a person has a lot on their mind they might talk out loud because it is too noisy in their heads.  I am not sure what problems you have or believe you have but it sounds like they are weighing heavy on you.
This is nothing in itself to worry about but it can become a habit.  Have you tried journaling or keeping a diary to throw your thoughts down on?
