I will consider a therapist, I have had one in the past. It was for some minor depression I had at the time.

It's worth mentioning that sometimes I am delusional about my appearance in good or bad ways, among other things. Some days I will become overly confident and the next I can't figure out how to make words.

It was great reading your lines, you express yourself extremely well. Could be the fact that you're constantly using your powers of discussion.
Couple of questions, a) Have you tried writing as a therapy? b) How long have you been having these discussions with yourself?  |
I haven't tried writing as therapy, but I have been acknowledged as a good writer. Usually I don't feel in the mood to write. Sometimes when it strikes me I'll just free-write a poem or some short piece and stash it away in the dark corners of Google Docs. Expressing myself through poetry or narrative never feels like "enough."
And I can't remember exactly how long I've had them. I do know that I've talked to myself practically ever since I could talk, though. If I had to estimate, I started questioning structure and integrity of things when I was about 12, and started debating myself at about 15. I'm going on 18 now.
