Do you talk to yourself, or have conversations with yourself in private?!
Question: I have been really stressed lately. I just had to take off work for appendicitis/surgery. I cannot figure out where my finances got so screwed up. My roof is pouring into my utility room, so I am applying for a loan which I know nothing about. Its about to cost me a fortune.
I am seperating from a bad relationship with an alcoholic who has just turned out to be bad for me and its making me misreable because I still really care deeply for him.
My job is very stressful. I work my rear end off and probably should have taken another week off.
My lab keeps heading for the hills and for some reason he ends up at this old 6itches house down the street and she keeps calling the cops on my very friendly, social dog.
I have been talking to myself to work my own problems out when I do dishes or when I am driving around, you would think I am crazy. Do you ever talk to yourself or am I nuts?

Everyone talks to themselves to some extent. Like you said, it helps you work out problems. Some people do it to "fill" a space with some kind of sound when by themselves. There are other reasons, too.
There comes a point, however, when this kind of personal dialog/monologue becomes "distorted" and one starts responding to "voices" that aren't our own. If you're afraid that you are starting to have this problem, then you need to seek help. But if you can ask yourself about whether or not you may be crazy, I 'd say you were still alright.
It sounds like you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown. What I suggest is that you give the voice a persona and start an underground fighting club and start selling soap to fund your terrorist organisation you (and your partner) will produce.
Everyone talks to themselves in some manner, whether they admit it or not. It is a way to work your way through issues trying to look at things from different points of view or trying to get yourself to confront some aspects of an issue.
For example, you relationship, you still feel deeply for him despite his alcoholic behavior. So you discuss with yourself how and why this is so, knowing the correct thing is not to be in a relationship with him but still struggling with your feelings for him. so you weigh up the balances and hopefully decided you are a ton better off without his evil alcoholic butt, because you are. An alcoholic will just use your feelings for them to manipulate you and use you for all they can, so steer clear of him.
I don't think you are nuts but you do need to take you life into some form of control starting with your finances. Time to do a budget that includes short term costs (food, rent, petrol) and longer term costs (utilities, insurance etc). Be sure you can afford the loan before you get into a financial arrangement you cannot afford.
While your dog may be sociable not all people are keen on dogs wandering around and chances are there are local laws which prohibit it. If you can afford the loan maybe include enough to fix the fencing so your lovable dog stays home.
Take control of your life, be all you can and then some.
Be safe, be sage
Yes, but the voices tell me I'm crazy. I'd tell ya its nothing. Because I know the voices are out to get me in the first place. So I don't believe anything they say. They scared the freaking hell out of me when they first came but I've learned to deal with them by now. Having them here isn't pleasant but is what I have to do.
Now I have multiple personalities, of course I talk to myself. Sometimes I type them out and show the conversations I have with myself to my friends. They just laugh. Being with myself isn't good for me. I think I have a bad influence on myself. We don't think you are crazy.
It's the people who think you need help who are crazy. I mean honestly, they are the ones who need help more.
I talk to myself pretty regularly, even in front of others. Those I work closely with are used to it and if someone new says "what?", they say "don't mind her, she talks to herself all the time.
