So, I keep having conversations in my head with real people that I do and don't know. I'm not sure if it's a coping mechanism for my anxiety, depression, and PTSD. For example, I can imagine being married to someone and having kids. Then I'll have conversations with them about almost anything. Sometimes, I'll cook dinner or something and imagine that I'm not alone and that someone is "praising" my work. Other times I imagine that I'm in an abusive relationship (I was rape as a kid) and I'm trying to get away.
It started when I was in school whenever I was nervous about a big test or something. I would imagine I had someone with me helping me get through my class work, homework, or studying. It always happens when I'm alone and last all day long or until I'm distracted by something. I've tried to stop but I can't. It's getting out of control and I'm scared. I'm not sure if I should talk to a doctor about it or what it could be. Any suggestions? |

Hello KittyCat: Well... all I can say is I find myself talking to people who aren't there all the time.
 My personal opinion is it's probably related to anxiety. But that's just my non-professional opinion. Yes, it might be good to talk with someone about this. You may want to consider seeing a mental health therapist. Depending on the doctor you see s/he may or may not be of much help. At least that's been my experience.I see this is your first post here on PC. So...  to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks!  May the time you spend here be of benefit.  PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become.  Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
