Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor You have complaints of talking to self. You start to talk to yourself while doing work, cleaning or while thinking anything of past. Even while on computer you talk with yourself. This occurs about 3-4 hours per day. As you know that you are talking to self, so we can easily ascertain that it is not a psychotic disorder. Usually a patient in psychosis may talk to self, but he never accepts it. So this is not a psychosis. Other thing it can be is part of anxiety disorder. You talk to self, and it is also bothering you. Your work is hampering, so we can label it as some form of obsession. Although detailed evaluation is needed to label OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder. If you think that you can handle it then its normal, otherwise visit a good psychiatrist. Thanks
