i do talk to myself sometimes although not out loud, at least i think it could be considered talking to myself, and i don't have bipolar. i'd say it isn't particuarly unusual but i may be wrong of course. If it bothers you it may be good to contact your doctors and/or therapist otherwise i wouldn't worry about it too much if it doesn't create any particular problems. Sending many Safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @gottagetup, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
