Yes I do talk to myself too. I don't want to bother my friends around the clock either. So that's when I just pace around in my apartment and talk to myself or to my own reflection in the mirror. I know, it may sound a bit weird but it's just the need to keep talking, no matter if anyone is listening or not. Of course it's better if there's someone listening, because I feel like there is so many important things to tell. But it also makes it worse, if there is actually someone listening
It makes me talk even more.
Something else that also happens to me is that usually I manage to get some sleep. And when I wake up, the sleep has calmed me down a bit, but after staying awake for few hours, there we go again. I feel like I'm a wheel that starts spinning faster and faster. And it's sleep and alcohol that can make the wheel spin slower.
